Classics of Pagan Cinema: The Cauldron of Cerridwen and “The Sword in the Stone”

By Meg Elison | May 25, 2025

The legend is always changing from one thing to another, being gobbled up and sweated out, being birthed into new life with new names, being boiled up in the cauldron of Ceridwen to become what it must be next.

“Beneath the Trees” (2019): folk horror made with ten tropes and zero soul

By Meg Elison | April 20, 2025

As the sage Lil Wayne once said, there are two ways to make art: be good or be good at it. A film does not have to be innovative or even have anything new to say for audiences to respond. This film is neither good nor good at it. I didn’t want to sing along, so here I am to heckle.

World Wide Witchcraft: the 1990s in Retrospect

By Meg Elison | March 23, 2025

We were finally finding a way into the grooves of the Akashic record: the information superhighway was the Force, it was the oversoul, and we paid for it by the minute. One of the very first things I ever searched for on Alta Vista was Witchcraft.

Folk Magic and Hermeticism in “Nosferatu”

By Meg Elison | February 16, 2025

With its right hand Eggers’s Nosferatu points at all the sex it can, but its left invokes the imagery and the uncanny nature of folk magic.

Classics of Pagan Cinema: The Blood on Satan’s Claw

By Meg Elison | January 24, 2025

There are those who say a witch is born and others who insist a witch is made. This film suggests a third option: that witchcraft can come upon a person as unbidden and inevitable as puberty, and as impossible to understand.

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Star Tarot, by Cathy McClelland, published by REDFeather, Mind, Body Spirit, an imprint of Schiffer Publishing, Ltd.

Card: Knight of Cups

The next seven days are apt to focus on advancing plans and projects that may call for dreaming large. Confidence in one’s ability to not only ride the wave of momentum that has been created, but to continue to devote energy and resources to maintain it is indicated. There is also the potential for multiple options for expansion to be presented that either may not have existed before or that went unnoticed. Dedication and sustained efforts have the potential to offer major dividends.

In contrast, while opportunities for furthering current endeavors may be available, the tendency to lean towards more conservative options has the potential to limit or even stifle growth. Unexpected delays are likely to cause frustration, particularly if projected plans for progress were unrealistic or not thoroughly plotted and researched. Taking extra time to fully assess plans and trusting the intuition can help to minimize possible delays and avoid obstacles.
