In today’s Pagan Community Notes an alleged Odinist is charged with making anti-Semitic threats, Susan Curewitz-Arthen crosses the Veil, “witch-hunts” and hysteria on the rise, and more!
Every year, the South African Pagan Rights Alliance Touchstone Advocacy runs a 30 day campaign to end “witch-hunts” and the accusations of “witchcraft” (see note below) in South Africa. This year, the campaign runs from March 29 to April 27. The importance of campaigns like this cannot be overstated. SAPRA’s leadership with this campaign powerfully responds to a critical worldwide need for greater public awareness, education, and advocacy against “witch-hunts” that changes culture and ultimately save lives. The effects of being accused of practicing “witchcraft” can be devastating, even when it does not result in the death of the accused.
