PantheaCon announces that 2020 will be its final year after its 26-year run as one of the major Pagan events.
Our guest columnist Tahni Nikitins presented at a recent conference at Cherry Hill Seminary and reports on the event.
KERHONKSON, N.Y. — For a conference started by “two little old ladies who didn’t know what they were doing,” Changing Times—Changing Worlds (CTCW) has all the hallmarks of an event that is poised to grow. Despite that description written by co-founder Tchipakkan, CTCW has many of the elements of much larger events, and this year its presenters offered a variety of in-depth topics such that can’t be easily found in books or blogs. Those two “little old ladies” were Tchipakkan herself, an “electic Pagan-Heathen-rustic,” and Jane Sibley, a Norse practitioner sometimes known as “Auntie Arwen.” However, the professional details and little extras present in this conference belie those self-deprecating words. Tchipakkan claims they didn’t know what they were doing because it has taken awhile to find a venue which feels like it would be a good fit for the long haul.
