In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, even as the holiday season unfolds, we pause to mark the passing of Priestess Rae Beth, who has crossed the veil. We take a moment to honor her life and remember her lasting contributions to modern Pagan practice.

We close this Yule week of Pagan Community Notes with songs to honor the season and a moment of gratitude.
