The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/author/storm)
Storm Faerywolf is a professional author, experienced teacher, visionary poet, and practicing warlock. He was trained in various streams of initiatic witchcraft, most notably the Faery tradition, where he holds the Black Wand of a Master. He is the founder of the BlueRose lineage, with students and initiates across the globe. Author of several books including “Betwixt & Between”, "The Witch's Name", and "The Satyr's Kiss", he is committed to rekindling the ancient connections between humankind and the Hidden Kingdom. He lives with his loving partners in the San Francisco Bay area and travels internationally teaching the magical arts.
I remember beautiful stores in my home state of California that were cultural hubs, like Gaia in Berkeley, which hosted figures like the late Rachel Pollack and Allen Ginsberg, among numerous others, people who shared their unique talents and knowledge to an eager public… Alas, all these are now but a memory.
The core of Witchcraft has always been carnal in nature. It is rooted in the wisdom of both the land and the body, recognizing the physical world as the holy temple through which we worship the omnipresent divine, the indwelling consciousness within all things and places. It is this consciousness which we often deify, calling it Goddess or God or some other equally nebulous title meant to inspire a sense of awe, reverence, and mystery.
Storm Faerywolf reflects on the current wave of anti-trans legislation in the United States and uses the occasion to highlight trans and nonbinary Pagan creators.
Storm Faerywolf surveys some positive stories for the queer community, include memorials to the Rainbow Dead, surprisingly encouraging words from the Pope, a new queer superhero, and the scientific advancement of the erection.
Over the years I have come to understand that the informal work is equal in importance to the formal, as it grants us the opportunity to expand the “reach” of our magical consciousness into our “mundane” lives.
