Mundane in Pagan Clothing: Shifting Focus
by Patricia Telesco [Wvox Sponsor] [1,701 reads]
People at work know me as the "hippie dippy chick" who can tell them about herbs, make wild gourmet foods, handle recycling issues, and help green the company. Purchasing Rep by day, pagan and writer by night and weekends. It's all such an odd juggling act. When the Pagan writing market took a serious downturn I confess I was heartbroken. Writing had been my blood... ok, ink ... for 20 years. Suddenly I didn't know how to define myself. I... [more]
The Origin of the Melek Ta'us Image: The Official Story (Part One)
by Paul B. Rucker [Wvox Sponsor] [732 reads]
  Of all the images I have yet created, the most unexpected life has sprung from my interpretation of Melek Ta’us, the Peacock Angel, a tutelary divinity of primary importance for the Yezidi of Syria, and for the Feri culture/current of witchcraft. No icon of Him imagined in His fullness previously existed, so far as I know. Before I created my image of Melek Ta’us, there was no image of Melek Ta’us-- as such--considered apart from simple i...

The Primordial Image: Archetypes
by Vikki Bramshaw [769 reads]
 There seems to be a certain amount of conflict in the Pagan community when it comes to the use of the concept of ‘Archetypes’ within Paganism, Wicca and Witchcraft. This is perhaps due to varying theological views -- in particular the differences between Polytheism and Pantheism -- but perhaps also due to a certain degree of ‘misinformation’ about what an ‘Archetype’ actually is. I briefly discuss Archetypes in relation to Deity in my boo... [more]

 As the holiday season rolls in, we (the open-minded among us) are faced with a lot of different options (See bottom for extensive list of holidays and celebrations in December.) As an interfaith person, I celebrate in a rather haphazard type ... [more]
- The Yule Odyssey by Crick [1,694 reads]
 Don’t read this if you are easily offended. I am about to offer a very pragmatic observation in regards to Neo paganism and the celebration of Yule. I’ve been walking the path of witchcraft for nearly 50 years. And about this time every year I begin ... [more]
- Wicca, Christianity and Blended Religions by Gwynhwyver [553 reads]
Wicca, Christianity and Blended ReligionsFor this article to make any sense, certain ideas have to be accepted. First the reader must accept that a personal spiritual belief system is different than a religion. A spiritual belief may be adjus... [more]
- On Being Yourself by Chi [498 reads]
 It’s a fundamental saying. Everyone has heard it before, and most of us think it just means doing what we want. “Be yourself”. This means not being the unfortunate accountant who has always longed to be an artist. To most of us, it also means followi... [more]
