The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/florida)
Welcome to the inaugural What the Hounds?—our new roundup of the stories that made us stop, reread the headline, and wonder what we had just read. This week: rosaries, religion bans, and an Anubis murder case.
Join The Grove as they celebrate Pagan Pride Day! Come with the kids to this family-friendly all-day event. Held in the Oak Ridge Hall at Tree Tops Park (indoors! Air conditioning!) spend the day in workshops, ritual, and building community with other Witches and Pagans in South Florida. Open to all Pagans, Witches, Heathens, Druids, and tree-huggers alike!
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s warnings about a “demonic” drag show are part of a wider pattern targeting institutions he claims are hostile to Christianity. Civil liberties advocates say this framing misuses state power and endangers religious freedom for minority faiths.
Florida became the first state to adopt the Heritage Foundation’s Phoenix Declaration, a conservative education framework linked to Project 2025. Its framing draws heavily on Christian moral philosophy as a guiding vision for public education. More states are likely to follow.
Summer Magick Festival is an earth-based spirituality convention with workshops, celebration, and community in a comfortable hotel setting. Headliners, rituals, and musical entertainment have been chosen to encourage tolerance between the many different earth-based faiths and foster planetary stewardship. We are a family-friendly event with programming for our young ones, as well as close proximity to all the wonders of the Orlando theme parks. Join us for a new kind of Florida festival!
