The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/mercury-retrograde)
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, we welcome Samhain in North and Beltaine in the South, explore Halloween around the world, brave Mercury retrograde, and Cherry Hills shares an opportunity to learn about magical plants in Slavic magic, a new survey on Paganism, and Inclusion, community announcements, Star’s Tarot of the Week, and seasonal music to keep the spirits dancing.
Sometimes, just when we think that the world can’t get crazier, we get a reminder that life can surprise us. April is a curious month, filled at times with rain, snow, or sunshine. The current full moon in Libra asks us to consider balance. February’s Saturn conjunction with Neptune at zero degrees Aries was the wave of the green flag, letting us know that we could and should accelerate to full speed as we begin this part of our journey. Late February into March provided us with one last Mercury Retrograde in Pisces to re-see and re-view some matters.
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, Mercury Retrograde is underway, and as usual, present, perky, and problematic. Coreopsis Journal and The Commons of Modern Pagans and Spiritual Seekers (COMPASS) both share announcements and invitations to the community, while the ever-energetic Earth-Based Spirituality Action Team announces its next gathering. Regretfully, we also bring sad news: Rev. Mari Powers has crossed the Veil into the arms of the Goddess. Finally, The Old Church With the Purple Door offers an extraordinary video documenting the reclamation of a historic church and its surrounding land as a living Pagan sanctuary.
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, Excellent announcements from the Fellowship of Fire & Ice, Cultural Archive of Modern Paganism, and the Adocentyn Research Library, plus Mercury Retrograde, events, and more.
The first images from the BepiColombo mission to Mercury were transmitted back to Earth on Friday, just as Mercury enters retrograde motion from Earth’s perspective.
