There are a few different types of Wiccans and/or Pagans out there. One of those groups likes to research their faith through solid scholarly works like Ronald Hutton’s Triumph of the Moon and classic texts on mythology like Edith Hamilton’s Mythology. Of course, this group doesn’t ignore the influence of popular works of fiction on […]

This past weekend I recieved a nice letter from someone asking me why I was Wiccan, instead of, say, Christian or Buddhist. I wasn’t able to reply as quickly as I would have liked, since my cold had knocked me pretty low. But this morning I sat down to write my reply. I am Wiccan […]

I got an email this morning, through my main site The Lotus Pond. A young girl (and I am making a bit of an asumption here) said that she was Wiccan, but there was some things she doesn’t understand. She wanted to know why TV shows have witches and Wiccans do they things they do. […]

I’ve always been a bit confused about how the moon fitted into Wicca. Some Wiccans gather on the Full Moon, some on the New Moon, and some whenever there is need. Some see the Goddess personified in the Moon, and other don’t. Throughout the world, many goddess are associated with the Moon, but many are […]

I’ve been Wiccan for probably 13 years or so now, but I still consider myself a student. I like to learn as much as I can about different theologies (and thealogies), rituals, ethics, myth cycles, etc. I do most of my learning through books and websites, and I generally keep to myself. However, I do […]

Does anyone know of a Pagan forum where I can find some intelligent dicussions about Pagan issues? (And not Bnet!) I’ve been searching for one for ages, but the ones I find are generally full of idle chat, Christian bashing, or too much sweetness and light. I’m sort of looking for the Pagan equivalent of […]

As a way to amuse myself this afternoon, and hopefully lift my mood, I did a Google for some pagan humour. This cute Fluffy Pagan Test turned up. It is actually pretty funny, without being overly mean to “fluffy pagans.” I scored a -17. Looking over the questions, I’m not sure I was ever as […]

As I think I mention earlier, I’ve joined the new CFFN. I’ve been speeding through the First Circle lessons at the rate of one a week. (This is in an effort to be placed back in the Second Circle, where I was before CFFN changed.) In the course of doing these lessons, I’ve finally read […]

I’m very sad and disappointed today. Kaatryn MacMorgan, the head of Universal Eclectic Wicca (UEW) and the Coven of the Far Flung Net (CFFN) has decided to shut down CFFN. In her email to the members of CFFN, she seemed to me to say that she didn’t like that the teaching covens of CFFN were […]
