Lucas Miles’ The Pagan Threat has become a New York Times bestseller, warning of a “pagan uprising.” Yet the greater concern is not the book itself, but the silence surrounding it, raising troubling questions about interfaith integrity, pluralism, and who truly counts in America’s religious landscape.
“If you are part of the 0.4% of Americans that identify as ‘Pagan or Wiccan,'” writes Diana Helmuth, “October marks the time of year where the rest of America remembers that you exist. But the dizzying rise in occult content and online Witchcraft hashtags tells us another story.”
As we officially enter the Season of the Witch, The Wild Hunt welcomes Gavin Fox, who examines the ways Witches, Pagans, and other occult communities were depicted in documentaries of the 1970s through 90s.
“Whether in public, or in secret, we need to oppose this regime with everything we’ve got,” writes Storm Faerywolf as today’s No Kings protests gather around the world. “And since this is a publication for Pagans and Witches, this means magic.”
“I have discovered that parks help fill a void for me,” writes Meagan Fischer, “of finding community in my devotion to the web of life. After years of frantic activism, I am learning to care for myself for the long haul, to surround myself with beauty.”
