- Remembering and Reconnecting - RuneWolf [Witchvox Sponsor]

- Mixing Pantheons in Modern Pagan Practice - Ben Gruagach [Witchvox Sponsor]
It has been said by some Wiccan authors that mixing mythological pantheons is bad and should be avoided at all costs. The usual argument given for this admonishment is that each pantheon, indeed each deity, has very specific featu ... Posted: April 13th. 2002 Views: 8,414 - [ Full Article ]
