Pagan Calendars and Datebooks for 2012

Any calendar can tell you the date, but having a Pagan calendar can be helpful too. Most of these Pagan calendars and datebooks will also have the Sabbats marked as well as moon phases and other spiritual dates.

Several of my favorite publishers don't seem to have calendars this year, so I'm afraid this collection is mainly Llewellyn products. Have to admit, they have a good line-up of calendars, datebooks and almanacs.

Pagan Daily Devotionals

If you are not already familiar with this from my earlier website, the Pagan Daily Devotionals are a thought for the day. It's not supposed to be instructional necessarily, but something just for fun. Some days are jokes, puzzles, quotes, various spiritual thoughts and things you might be interested to know. Sometimes it's just an idea, and sometimes I suggest a way to use that idea during your day. It's really a mix of lots of Pagan stuff.

Starting Your Book of Shadows

learn about wiccaContrary to popular belief, a Book of Shadows is not a specific book or text. Many movies and television shows portray it as an ancient and mystical book filled with spells and incantations. Those new to the Craft soon realize that is not the case. Every Wiccan writes and keeps their own personal Book of Shadows. Find out more


How Old is Wicca?

I've noticed this can be a touchy subject among Wiccans and other Pagans: the history of the Wiccan religion. People (usually novices) often make statements about the ancient origins of Wicca, or how Wicca has been practiced for thousands of years.

Sorry folks, but this is simply not accurate. Read more

Progressive Witchcraft

A new way to look at witchcraft, as it has been evolving over the past several decades.

Elements and Directions

I've heard from people who say they aren't always comfortable with the traditional element/direction correspondences. Some make adjustments to suit their own locations, such as a person who lives on the east coast of the United States may chose to associate east with water rather than with the more traditional air. It's hard to ignore a huge ocean to the east. Read on....


Charge of the Goddess

Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who was of old also called amongst men Artemis, Astarte, Diana, Melusine, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Dana, Arianrhod, Isis, Bride and by many other names.

Isis was also associated with the moon, magick, motherhood, civilization and was the patron to all priestesses. Read on
