- Autumn: The Croning Time - Lady Abigail [Witchvox Sponsor]
Spirited away, my energy gently glides above the treetops like a down feather blown within the circling wind. Below, I see the quilted workings of Mother Earth in the patches of green grass, freshly plowed ground and fields of gra ... Posted: October 12th. 2008 Views: 13,627 - [ Full Article ]

Autumn is that time of year when we all seem to feel the magickal energies of the Great Goddess. With every change of the weather, every warm or cool breeze, we feel Her a stirring within our spirits. As the seasons transform the ... Posted: November 29th. 2009 Views: 11,930 - [ Full Article ]
- It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chri... Yuletide! - Lori Dake [Witchvox Sponsor]
One of the things I truly enjoy doing is decorating for the Holidays, and the Sunday before Thanksgiving is when I start doing my yearly ritual. It was a lot later when I was growing up, sometimes as late as Christmas Eve, because ... Posted: November 30th. 2008 Views: 11,051 - [ Full Article ]
- Well, You Don’t Celebrate Christmas... - Lady Abigail [Witchvox Sponsor]
I know that the Yuletide behind us and the New Year is closing in fast. But it seems to me that this year more than most I have ran into many people that seem to have a misunderstanding or Pagans and the Yuletide season. Even some ... Posted: January 3rd. 2010 Views: 10,887 - [ Full Article ]
- Samhain: A Time for Introspection---and Activism - Morgan Ravenwood
As most of us know, Samhain is the best time of the year for introspection, intuition, and divination. The ways we celebrate the completion of the old year and the beginning of the new are as many and varied as we ourselves. But c ... Posted: October 19th. 2008 Views: 10,458 - [ Full Article ]
- For A Religion So Opposed to Paganism, You Sure Stole a Lot of Our Stuff! - Heather Belt
Ah, yes Christians. Fascinating creatures they are. I grew up Christian; I guess you could say, as is the case with the majority of the booming Pagan population today, and yet I always found myself questioning the message. ... Posted: August 16th. 2009 Views: 9,866 - [ Full Article ]
- The Dark Half of the Year - Crick [Witchvox Sponsor]
As I walk along a secluded creek, deep within the woods, the presence of Spirit is all about. It is a subtle awareness ebbing and flowing through the fibers of my being. The dark half of the year is following its ancient c ... Posted: October 19th. 2008 Views: 8,400 - [ Full Article ]
- The Halloween Witch: Sense of Humor or Sense of Ire - Albiana
This time of year is my favorite, always has been. Even before I became a Real Life Witch™ (That’s a bit o’ sarcasm there folks… you’re supposed to laugh) I was enamored of the spirit of October and the fun of the autumn revelry. ... Posted: October 25th. 2009 Views: 7,700 - [ Full Article ]
- Ah...To Be A Witch... - Kylia Heartsong
Ah, to be a Witch in October…It's kind of like being...a Turkey at Thanksgiving! It's the time when we, as Witches, are most often cast into the public eye. The media, which have been more than happy to pretend we don't ex ... Posted: October 10th. 2010 Views: 7,508 - [ Full Article ]
- La Befana - Talitha Dragonfly
The Thanksgiving turkey hasn’t even had time to cool down yet, and already I’m growing more and more suffocated by the constant bombardment of Christmas marketing. The stores are running monster marathon sales that go on from four ... Posted: November 30th. 2008 Views: 7,105 - [ Full Article ]
- Winter Solstice By Any Other Name - raewytch
As I wander down my local high street window-shopping and people watching I am aware of the festive lights twinkling above – attached to the various shops and lampposts. The shops themselves - windows brimful of packages covered w ... Posted: December 21st. 2008 Views: 6,914 - [ Full Article ]
- The Beltaine Storm - Lady Abigail [Witchvox Sponsor]
Early spring always seems to hold its own special magick. The earth giving birth to life all around, the trees appear to be bursting into green so quickly that you can watch the leafs grow as they reach for the warmth of the sun a ... Posted: May 3rd. 2009 Views: 6,518 - [ Full Article ]
- Spiritual Aspects of Yule - Crick [Witchvox Sponsor]
As we approach the season of Yule (Winter Solstice, Alban Arthan) , I personally find myself entering a state of both celebration and reflection. When I reach out and touch the heartbeat of Mannuz, I can sense the intense joy of o ... Posted: November 30th. 2008 Views: 6,496 - [ Full Article ]
- Winter Holiday Intentions and Food Magik - Coleen Renee, CSH [Witchvox Sponsor]
As we enter the dark time on the Wheel of the Year, our bodies want to slow down, regenerate - even hibernate a bit. But our mainstream culture has just hit the “crazy button¨. Buy! Shop! Bake! Party! Go! Go! Go! Listening ... Posted: December 19th. 2010 Views: 6,307 - [ Full Article ]
- Ostara...It's Not Just For Kiddies Anymore! - Bronwynn Torgerson

- Autumn Equinox: A Point of Balance on the Wheel of the Year - Maggi Setti [Witchvox Sponsor]

- Alicia Meets Grandmother Autumn: A Children’s Story - Lady Abigail [Witchvox Sponsor]
Once there was a time before time became time. We feel it still in that moment between day and night, night and day. It is that time when what was vanishes, and what will be is yet to be seen. It was in that moment when all life s ... Posted: October 26th. 2008 Views: 5,653 - [ Full Article ]
- Lughnasadh: The Deeper Meaning - Morbek
Over the years, I have celebrated Lughnasadh in several ways. However, this year, while sitting in the outdoors, ever present sauna of an Oklahoma heat wave, I was gifted with the most profound meaning of the Sabbat I’ve ever expe ... Posted: July 25th. 2010 Views: 5,445 - [ Full Article ]
- A Meditation on Samhain: How Lucky You Are. - Sorbus
On Samhain we celebrate the turning of the seasons, the passing of our ancestors, and how mortality makes us who we are. This is a meditation on things dark and hard to face; but it is also how we celebrate our life on this specia ... Posted: October 11th. 2009 Views: 5,440 - [ Full Article ]
- The Solstice Flame: A Yule Story - Lady Abigail [Witchvox Sponsor]
It may sound a bit unusual to start a Yule story in early autumn. But that is when it all begins. Just around Mabon in mid September. That is when my Great Grandmother and the Aunts would gather together for the time of honey harv ... Posted: December 13th. 2009 Views: 5,366 - [ Full Article ]
- Imbolc: Traditional Celebrations for a Modern Time - Morgan

- Traditional Yule: Make your Own Homebrewed Mead - Treasach [Witchvox Sponsor]
My apprentice and I just made mead, and it wasn't nearly that much of a trial as some authors seemed to imply. I personally think it's easier than canning, which frankly makes me nervous. You almost can't screw up making mead, and ... Posted: December 19th. 2010 Views: 4,697 - [ Full Article ]
- Ostara: Enter the Light! - Mara Light
In these rather dismal times, people are worrying about their homes, their food, their families, and for those who are of the more humanitarian persuasion, their neighbors. It seems to me every one is wrapped up in their concerns ... Posted: March 29th. 2009 Views: 4,669 - [ Full Article ]
