The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/author/storm/page/2)
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.
“Whether the killer turns out to be on the Left or the Right,” writes Storm Faerywolf, “this is a clear example of how Republican compassion is strictly compartmentalized, available for conservative straight white folks but patently denied to anyone else.”
In magic we strive to fulfill our mundane needs in a magical way. Using herbs, stones, bones, or other curio (along with prayer, energy work, and intention) we attempt to conjure forth the hidden spiritual properties within those items to create an environment that will protect us from whatever harmful influences we may encounter.
“Things are much worse now than they were even just last month,” writes Storm Faerywolf in a fiery response to his critics. “But to the ‘conservative’ Pagan, this is just what the doctor ordered, apparently. Shame on you.”
I am calling on Witches and magical workers of all stripes to heed the call of an endangered democracy. It is part of the Witch’s heritage to side with the oppressed against the oppressors.
The idea of initiation into Witchcraft has always fascinated me. Stories and images abound of arcane rites performed in the cloak of darkness lit only by candles flickering in the night – a death of the old life, and a birth of a new one.
