“I’ve long been a lover of all things folklore – and all things Witchcraft and Witchy,” writes Alan U. Dalul. “This book was everything I thought it would be and then some.

In this week’s Pagan Community Notes: Witches are popular this time of year, Moira Payne honored as Pagan of the Year in Michigan, Loki’s Torch, Hekate’s Sickle, Circle Sanctuary celebrates 50 years and more announcements.
Comedian Tim Murray chat with The Wild Hunt and discusses his show WITCHES, which blends pop culture, comedy, and queerness. He explores the parallels between witches and LGBTQIA+ experiences, highlighting empowerment, acceptance, and finding community through shared identity.
The names of some 4,000 people, all falsely accused of witchcraft, were read aloud in a remembrance event earlier in June. The Creative Coven, a group of female artists whose work has been inspired by the Scottish witch trials, also organized an event to educate about the historical persecution.
