The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/cher)
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, we have a busy week ahead! We welcome the growing light of Imbolc in the Northern Hemisphere and the first harvest of Lughnasadh in the Southern Hemisphere.
We honor the Feast of Orisha Oyá and the Lwa Maman Brigitte this weekend, as well as Setsubun in Japan. Black History Month begins! New Pagan events have been announced, Star shares this week’s tarot, and Cher casts a spell!
When I met Cher, I was surprised at the narrowness of her face. It’s a strange observation to make, I suppose. She was tall, with a very small frame. Clearly there was something dynamic about her, but it’s difficult to discern whether or not I was observing an echo of observations I’d made about the Cher I’d seen on television, in videos, or in movies. Standing before someone who for all of my life has been a celebrity icon, I couldn’t help but notice the trace of something completely unlike what had been displayed in media; something quite ordinary. For a brief moment, peering out at me from beneath the vivacious wig and extravagant outfit, was a simple, 67 year old woman.
