The World: reflecting on the Fool’s Journey in the dark time of the year

By Clio Ajana | 19 hours ago

“What is the light in our lives? Who brings joy and pleasure to our being?” writes Clio Ajana. “Despite the rash of sales for Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday, there is more to life than shopping.”

Ten Years of Wildly Hunting: Reflections on Pagan Journalism

“Ten years already!” writes Lyonel Perabo in this retrospective. “This anniversary of sorts made me think back a little bit about both my “career,” The Wild Hunt, and Pagan journalism in general, and how it has all evolved in the years I have been a part of it.”

Cats have been lying about their age: ancient DNA tells part of the Tail

Ancient DNA reveals domestic cats originated in North Africa, not the Levant, and spread far later than believed—reaching Europe after 200 BCE and China via the Silk Road around 730 CE, overturning long-held assumptions while exposing their lies about age and their long-forgotten magical lineage.

Pagan Priestex Prepares for Arrest Rather Than Surrender First Amendment Rights

When Rutherfordton officials denied a permit for a small Pagan-led vigil, citing undocumented restrictions and a coercive “Christian parade” alternative, High Priestex Mortellus confronted a system that limits minority-faith expression in a traditional public forum during the holiday season.

Pagan Perspectives

  • Gods Walk Among Us
    By Karl E. H. Seigfried

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Witches’ Wisdom Tarot by Phyllis Curott, artwork by Danielle Barlow, published by Hay House.

Card: Five (5) of Earth (Pentacles) – One Thing Becomes Another

The incoming week has the potential to hold a bit of a snapback when it comes to financial excesses, overindulgence, and the squandering of resources from the preceding week. Taking more than is needed, exploiting natural resources beyond sustainability, and even abusing support from the community and family, is likely to have harsh consequences.

Conversely, being mindful and deliberately judicious in not only what is being consumed but also in eliminating or reducing the waste of generated is heavily indicated. Underlying that sentiment is the expression of gratitude and finding ways to both give back and share any excess bounty. Even small and seemingly insignificant acts of kindness have the potential to make much larger impacts than imagined.
