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
We are discussing definition 1 of necromancy and definition 2 of geomancy. (see attached images)
Do you believe the actual spirit of the undead is brought out of its state to communion with the necromancer against its will? Necromancy differs from regular mediumship because with medium ship are are asking for info or opening up to receive, and with necromancy, you are doing a ritual to bring them.
It's okay if you don't come from a long line of witches.

So I'm just livid. Yesterday, someone from the DNR contacted me to inquire about our Walk in the Woods for witches & he said, "Cutting down plants and removing them from the woods is illegal." I was like, "What? We aren't doing that."
Now I'm jumping through hoops, sending pamphlets that we're handing out to this guy so he can "approve" our walk in the woods after we've already rented a shelter.

Tonight, I didn't do much Beltane-ish magic or so, just lighting a candle and some incense, giving some offerings ... and then I took a look what's in that box and found one spell from 2022.
I guess it's time to release that. 😅Or do a new one.
