In this week’s Pagan Community Notes: an AHS: Coven teaser sparks speculation, Brazil moves to regulate doulas, a “Bless the Gods” parade is suppressed in China, Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans announces its 40th anniversary celebration, Star’s Tarot of the Week, and a hopeful rebound for monarch butterflies.
TV witches have always captivated me. As a child, I would sit cross-legged in front of the screen, completely spellbound by reruns of Samantha Stephens from Bewitched on Nick-at-Nite. I remember watching her effortlessly clean the house with a twitch of her nose, never realizing that there was something deeper going on in these portrayals of witches.
In today’s Spotlight on Tradition, Antonio Pagliarulo speaks with devotees to the goddess Hekate to explore the reasons for her enduring and growing popularity among Witches and other Pagans.
