Greetings my #witches. I was pondering a #poll and figured I'd post it. What do you define as a coven? What are your opinions on them. Have you ever been in one or would you consider yourself in one now? #witchcraft#magic#pagan
Based on my readings of old German folk tales, #QAnon in the current age and the "Satanic Panics" of the 1980s are just another incarnation of the #Witchcraft Panics of previous centuries.
I've been working on this a bit today. I'm going to add lots of colorful smoke and bubbles coming out of the cauldron. I'm a slow painter, but I'm sure I'll finish before witch season 😉
I hope you're all having a lovely day ✌️

Sometimes we do workshops (we're doing a candle making workshop in August). It's going to be hot so I thought maybe something later in the evening like a labyrinth walk or something.
What is something you'd like to do in a group setting?
We've already done workshops on sigils, besom making, witches' ladders, runes, all kinds of divination, stones, identifying plants in the woods, making incense, making saining wands.

I cannot believe there are still witches out there claiming to be from a long line of “hereditary” witches since before Gerald Gardener. Cringe. I really hope none of the kids are falling for this.
The witch-cult hypothesis has been robustly studied for nearly a century, and has been thoroughly disproven. This is common knowledge within the Pagan community.
There were many growing pains along the way, but now, we've accepted that we are re-creating and re-building paganism inspired by the ancients, not continuing any hidden unbroken traditions. And that's okay. It’s actually really special, being the first in your line, and creating traditions that might last into future generations.
For those of you in southwestern Indiana/western KY, I hope to see you at the Summer Solstice event at Angel Mounds! Let me know what time you are going. I'm going to try to make it at sunrise.
I was thinking of doing an, "I drink of my sisters" event, like in The Craft.
We would do a full circle and everyone would bring something to symbolize what they want/need to bring into their lives. We take a bottle around, fill everyone's cups when it's their turn, and we all listen and witness what they want to manifest. Party afterwards.
Thoughts become words become actions so saying it out loud often helps us commit.
I've uncovered more information about Nanny Morgan! I'm just trying to dig a bit deeper now, but I'm definitely in need of a rewrite! It makes me so happy to add more depth to her story!
Ann Morgan's story highlights the importance of honouring historical legacies in folkloric narratives. I believe it's time for the woman behind the witch to be remembered. Let's celebrate her for all of her intricacies.

QUESTION: Is there a gay pagan group on Mastodon that you can join, where you can find newbies and more experienced people in their crafts to chat with and learn from? If not, then there needs to be. #pagan#wiccan#witchcraft#Druid
