Pagan Community Notes: Week of March 27, 2025

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, we remember Mary Stuart. Everglades Moon Local Council releases a statement regarding the recent events in Orlando. Two events highlight the weekend: Heathens Against Hate hosts a Trans Visibility Rally, and Perilous Passages, a virtual symposium on Pagan thought and practice, invites deep reflection. We also feature Star’s Tarot of the Week—and yes, the Sharktopus makes an appearance.

Accepting a Sacred Wound: an interview with Orion Foxwood

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Orion Foxwood is a role model for many in the Pagan and related communities who wish to make their living serving their gods. A prodigious writer and familiar face at Pagan conventions and festivals, Foxwood criss-crosses the country lecturing on southern conjure practices and teaching the principles of Faery Seership. In recent years, attendees at Foxwood’s classes may have been surprised to see that he has been having difficulty walking even with a cane, the result of two chronic health conditions colliding. However, his students may have been reassured by his perennial good mood that the condition wasn’t as bad as it looked.
