Unleashing an New, Independent, Wild Hunt!

By |

Though I’ve written thousands of posts for The Wild Hunt, I couldn’t help but feel a certain sense of excitement writing today’s. Not just because I’ve been away for over a week, but because this is the first post of a newly independent Wild Hunt. A Wild Hunt that, while maintaining many of the things you’ve grown to love about our site, will also see a number of changes. The first will be that The Wild Hunt is no longer a solo venture. I am proud to welcome two new writer/reporters who will be making regular contributions each month here at this site: Rynn Fox and Heather Greene (Miraselena).

Pagan Community Notes: Teo’s Sacred Electric Grove, Starhawk on Wisconsin, Sharon Knight at Faerieworlds, and More!

By |

Pagan Community Notes is a series focused on news originating from within the Pagan community. Reinforcing the idea that what happens to and within our organizations, groups, and events is news, and news-worthy. My hope is that more individuals, especially those working within Pagan organizations, get into the habit of sharing their news with the world. So lets get started! Teo Bishop’s Sacred Electric Grove: Pagan blogger Teo Bishop of Bishop In The Grove fame has launched an IndieGoGo campaign to raise money so he can record an EP of original songs entitled “Sacred Electric Grove”.

Fire Claims New Age Shop in New Jersey

By |

A massive fire broke out yesterday in Long Branch, New Jersey, claiming 10 businesses and 14 apartments. Luckily, no human life was lost in the fire, though some pets were killed. Among the businesses that were destroyed was Sacred Circle New Age Center, a local meeting point for area Pagans, who were deeply saddened by the news. “…we’ll be there for them when they re-build, once we find out more info, if they need anything we can start a fundraiser or donations…This is so sad today for our Community to lose a business but so grateful they are alive and well.” The owners of Sacred Circle, Adam Kane and Al Romao, released a statement yesterday about the fire.

Hounds

Unleash the Hounds! (Link Roundup)

By |

There are lots of articles and essays of interest to modern Pagans out there, sometimes more than I can write about in-depth in any given week. So The Wild Hunt must unleash the hounds in order to round them all up. First off, I hope all my readers, friends, and supporters out on the East Coast, and in the path of Hurricane Irene, are safe and have taken proper precautions. Though the storm is less intense than first expected, there’s still plenty of damage a storm of that size can do.  COG First Officer Peter Dybing offers a prayer for safety, as does ADF Archdruid Kirk Thomas.

Quick Note: Congratulations to the Pagan Mom-Bloggers!

By |

A big congratulations to Mrs. B from Confessions of a Pagan Soccer Mom for winning first place in the “faith” category at the Circle of Moms website. In addition, Angela from The Pagan Mom Blog, Lily from Witch Mom, Joni from Tales of a Kitchen Witch, Krista from Hearth-n-Home, and Witchy Mama placed in the top 10. Even more Pagan mom-blogs made it into the top 25. The reason for this impressive showing? A mobilization caused by some unfortunate Christian moms deciding to attack (and “pray for”) the Pagan moms for having the temerity to even place themselves in the “faith” category (though several Christian mom-bloggers did apologize for the behavior of their coreligionists).
