The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/category/culture/page/11)
The Wild Hunt covers media related to, and of interest to, Pagans, Heathens, Wiccans, Witches and other polytheists. All of our book, movie, tv, video game, and other media reviews can be found here.
Ed Simon reviews Tabitha Stanmore’s new book, “Cunning Folk: Life in the Era of Practical Magic.” “Stanmore enumerates the sorts of practical rituals that cunning folk offered in the plying of their trade. A thief might be discovered, for example, by making suspects eat chunks of cheese in which various charms had been carved, whereupon the guilty party would choke on their morsel. (This must be hard cheese, Stanmore emphasizes.)”
“Armed only with some dude’s book of nonsense and her own determination and national pride, Eglantine Price could fly. She could conjure. She could make change.” Meg Elison is back with another Classic of Pagan Cinema: Disney’s 1971 musical “Bedknobs and Broomsticks,” a story with surprising resonance for her Wiccan tradition.
Siobhan Ball delves into the mysterious world of tyromancy – yes, divination via cheese! Also included is a recipe for Welsh Rarebit that would provide several opportunities for different approaches to tyromancy (and a tasty lunch to boot.)
I’ve been a fan of Lindsey Stirling for a long, long time. I’ve fallen in love with her music over and over again, and I fell in love deeper than ever before with the first single of her upcoming album, Eye Of The Untold Her. Her video gave me another idea for music Witchcraft – not a ritual, but a spell or meditation I felt emotional about.
Soy fan de Lindsey Stirling desde hace mucho, mucho tiempo. Y me enamoré más que nunca del primer sencillo de su próximo álbum, Eye Of The Untold Her. Un video que me hizo pensar en las fracturas internas que tengo y cómo las he ido curando.
