We are a nonprofit, independent news journal that concerns itself with events of interest to or happening within the modern Pagan, Polytheist and Heathen communities. Our mission is to raise the standard of journalistic discourse regarding these religions from within and without. As for the name itself, we feel the Wikipedia article on the subject sums things up rather well.
Modern or “neo” Paganism is (according to Wikipedia): “an umbrella term used to identify a wide variety of new religious movements, particularly those influenced by ancient and pre-Abrahamic Pagan religions.” Like all umbrella terms it has its limitations and dissenters, but serves well enough when speaking broadly about our diverse religious communities. Some modern alternative religions include, but are not limited to, Wicca, Druidry, Ásatrú, the Goddess movement, Celtic Reconstructionism, and Hellenismos.
Do you cover other religious traditions?
Yes. We often discuss others religions and philosophies tied or connected to the modern Pagan movement, such as Aleister Crowley’s Thelema, the Afro-Diasporic faiths (Vodou, Lucumi, etc), and various other forms of occultism. In addition, we will sometimes cover stories involving indigenous religions, Hinduism, Buddhism, and other non-monotheistic religious communities.
What is the political stance of this blog?
This blog doesn’t advocate for a specific political party or ideology. If this blog has any stance it is a “pro-Pagan” one. Political issues important to modern Pagans, such as environmentalism and religious freedom, will be covered when appropriate. Pagans, Heathens, and polytheists come from a diverse spectrum of experiences and beliefs and are all welcome to engage in respectful conversation here.
As to controversies within the Pagan community, The Wild Hunt Inc. will remain neutral with regard to doctrinal splits.
We are always open to reviewing works that mesh with our interests.
Books. Generally speaking we are interested in books on religion and modern Paganism that go beyond the obvious overview. We are not a fan of spell-books or rehashed information on Wicca (unless you think you are the second coming of Starhawk, then by all means try to win us over). Sociology, autobiography, anthropology, theology, history, and analysis of pop-culture are areas we are particularly interested in. Otherwise, if you think we would just love your book you are welcome to give it a shot.
We will consider music and films as well that fit within a similar range of interests.
Disclaimer: We don’t send stuff back. We won’t review it, if we don’t like the material or if it doesn’t inspire us. We also won’t take down a review you don’t like. We will review as time and space allow. If all that is fine with you, send the review copy to:
