TWH welcomes back Nathan Hall, who writes about the new year as a time to concentrate on healing and shadow work. “As ever, this is a great time to be a Witch or magickal person. There can be no wrong time, really, because we often consciously attempt to work as conduits for manifesting the needs of the universe, and by extension, our little place in the world.”
With just two days to go, I made use of one of my few free days to go downtown and get a few supplies: gift wrapping paper, thick craft rope, glue, and a big burlap bag.

TWH welcomes back Erick Dupree, who reflects on the meaning of the solstice with a group of Pagan creators including Travis Holp, Juliet Diaz, Fio Gede Parma, Claire Goodchild, and Rev. Dominick Guerriero.
It is like living in a lighthouse, surrounded by nothing but the wild, often unwelcoming nature. You merely need to take three steps outside the door to remember where you are.
