by Karin Ugander We live in historic times and the world around us has changed, once again. We have just survived what was hopefully the peak of the COVID-19 virus and now the war in Ukraine is shaking the stability in the world. How do things like that make sense? And how do you continue with your life when the world around you is uncertain and feels unsafe? Let´s take a walk around the heavens and see Read More...
by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle “What is a Witch?” is a question that I often joke has more answers than there have ever been Witches, as we each might change our minds more than once, and more definitions arise as more Witches come into knowledge of themselves. It’s beautiful, but can make things confusing for both non-Witches and Witches alike. Yet the questioning of identity, motive, relationship, actions, and consequences are part and parcel of Read More...
by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle The world of magick is completely natural, a part of our birthright and the essence of being human on Gaea, and yet we can feel completely separate from it until we open the door to it. We are conditioned to be separate from it, so the process of training is learning to open the door. And one door leads to another and then another. Many realize over the years that Read More...

by Karin Ugander Right now several planets and asteroids team up with each other. That can be fun.

However, if you don´t understand each other or cannot agree, there may be tension and turbulence in that little group. So let´s take a look and see who is playing with whom and see how we can use that Read More...
by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle In the last few months I’ve gotten a higher than usual number of messages from people interested in starting a Pagan, Witchcraft, or spirituality group, and wanting to know if I had any advice. How long do you have? Perhaps it’s the hope that the pandemic will end and we can resume social and spiritual gatherings that has people planning ahead and seeking deeper connection and the commitment and camaraderie Read More...
by Christopher Penczak, edited by Tina Whittle The practice of magick—or of any spirituality really—is often described as a path. We walk the path. There are many paths up a mountain. Witches walk the crooked path. There is a well-worn path and a hidden path. There is a road less traveled. These are all ways of describing movement, often but not always progress, and change.
