A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A Midsummer Night's Dream

Column: Merry Wanderer

By Luke Babb | June 10, 2022

Here is what I know about Robin Goodfellow, the Puck, the mythic figure that influenced Shakespeare’s work. He’s old – old enough that records in the 1500s talk about working with him as a practice that was already fading, only remembered by grandmothers. He’s famous – famous enough that, in one old text, some of the good folk in England are referred to as plural, “robingoodfellowes.” He’s complicated. He’s a household name. All of this is true – and yet  I have only found a handful of Pagans practicing today who work with him.

Paganism

Column: Then Say, Jove Laughs

By Eric O. Scott | June 11, 2021

Eric O. Scott turned to Shakespeare during the last year, and considers how the Bard’s work has influenced modern Paganism.

Tarot of the Week

Tarot of the Week

Deck: The Sacred Circle Tarot, by Cathy McClelland, by Anna Franklin, illustrated by Paul Mason, and published by Llewellyn Publications

Card: Page of Cups – Reflection

The next seven days are liable to stir the cauldron of ancestral knowledge and genetic memory, particularly as it applies to the use of intuition. This might just be the week to truly trust your gut instincts. There is also likely to be a creative or innovative thread running through the week’s events that may present an opportunity for a pleasant surprise. Be ready to stay the course because anything is possible for those who are determined in the pursuit of their objective.

In contrast, second-guessing pending decisions and doubting what is felt on soul level will only add to any confusion. There is the potential for a creative block or just feeling stuck on how to proceed. Additionally, be mindful of those who lean towards being selfish, or even bitter, and take care to avoid them whenever possible, as negative emotions can be contagious. Letting go of past grudges before they can make the holder of them mentally or physically unwell is indicated.
