TWH welcomes back Nathan Hall, who writes about the new year as a time to concentrate on healing and shadow work. “As ever, this is a great time to be a Witch or magickal person. There can be no wrong time, really, because we often consciously attempt to work as conduits for manifesting the needs of the universe, and by extension, our little place in the world.”
TWH’s editor-in-chief Manny Tejeda Moreno looks forward to the stories to come in Pagan news for 2023.
