Maybe you found a book about the Craft and what you read resonated with you.  Or perhaps you took one of those often-silly online tests and you ended up with the result Pagan or Wiccan by a decent percentage and you went, ‘Hey, what’s that?’.  You might have met someone who claimed to be a [...]

In the introduction, I gave a handful of scenarios about how you might have ended up thinking about this path and coming here to this site.  I have my own story about how I realized I was a child of the Goddess.  I thought I’d share it with you as a way to introduce myself [...]

You just asked me probably the most difficult question of my day.  There’s no way for me to nail down what Wicca is any more than I could effectively nail down what color mauve is.  It depends on the person, their perspective, their experience, and often has a great deal to do with personal preference.

Wicca is NOT… SATANIC. Let’s get this bad boy out of the way straight off.  Wiccans don’t acknowledge Satan as a deity, much less worship Satan.  Satan is part of the  Christian mythos and worldview and, as we are not Christian, is not part of our spiritual path.  While Wicca might employ the symbol of [...]

One of the biggest differences immediately noticable to newcomers to the Craft is the recognition of Deity as Feminine.  While we are beginning to have some second generation Wiccans and Pagans being raised today, most of us are still first-generation immigrants.  We’ve come from a far distant shore where religion might have been oppressive or [...]

One of the ways you will first come to understand the Goddess is by learning lunar rhythm.  Women have long been connected to the cycles of the Moon through their menstruation.  The Moon itself is very Feminine in nature in that She is passive — the Moon has no light of Her own.  She reflects [...]

In a previous post, we discussed the Goddess and Her archetypes — the Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone — as well as the Dark Goddess/Dark Mother aspect.  However, the Feminine form of Deity is only half of the energy we work in the Craft.  The other half is equally important and vital to the [...]

Welcome to one of the SEX ARTICLES on the website!  Congratulations — you will now be inundated with science porn!  Seriously, though… sex is central to Wicca and we’ll be discussing it regularly but hold off on lighting up that cigarette for just a moment.  Sex, as I’m referring to it, does not equal kink [...]

DISCLAIMER: There are many different names for the eight holidays listed below.  Some are different words entirely and some are variations on spelling.  There will be at least a decent handful of folks who will say that someone’s spelling isn’t right or someone’s word is wrong.  For now and unless you really just give [...]

When I host an open public ritual or a ritual at a gathering, I schedule a Pre-Ritual Workshop for immediately before the ritual.  During this workshop, I explain a few vital things:

Why we do ritual (Purpose)
What the ritual is about (Theme)
What can be expected in ritual (General Flow)
What I need participants to do (What to [...]
