The Wild Hunt (https://wildhunt.org/tag/paganism/page/6)
As the year darkens, Yule invites something deeper than celebration. The solstice season calls for honesty, rest, and reckoning—listening to what the long nights reveal, releasing what no longer belongs to us, and preparing, quietly, for the light’s return.
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes, the Yule Lads are upon us! But there’s more: Britain continues to see growth in its Pagan population, Vogue explores why Gen Z is turning to witchcraft, Star offers the Tarot of the Week, and Krampus pays a visit to the House of Black Cat Magic.
“Ten years already!” writes Lyonel Perabo in this retrospective. “This anniversary of sorts made me think back a little bit about both my “career,” The Wild Hunt, and Pagan journalism in general, and how it has all evolved in the years I have been a part of it.”
In this week’s Pagan Community Notes: the Salem community seeks hate crime charges after a confrontation at the Psychic Fair, an Atlanta parent accuses a school of forcing her daughter to join Halloween activities, Star shares the Tarot of the Week, and (who knew?) some bats actually glow.
Halloween fell on a weekend, and predictably, the Amen pew trembled. “HallowMonday” has returned, bringing not only pearl-clutching and performative outrage about witchcraft, but also a serious incident in Georgia. The Wild Hunt also received its annual reminder that we are the “mouthpiece of Satan.”
