I’m calling it a pamphlet because we really don’t have the space for a Wiccan History Primer.  There are some excellent books and websites available for further research into the history of the Craft.  When it comes to learning about modern Wicca (what you’re investigating currently), I tend to recommend the following titles:

Gerald Gardner’s Witchcraft Today

Stewart [...]

It’s only natural to wonder about rules, laws, and things you “have to do” in order to be Wiccan.  After all, most faiths have some kind of text that is esteemed as the guidepost for spiritual expression among its members.  Most faiths have rules and expectations and beliefs — depending on the faith, these can [...]

I’ve learned not to go too far into a discussion about the Craft without delving into the topic of conversation that people tend to want to hear about most.  That topic would be magick.  With a K.
Ask any practitioner of the Craft or other magickally inclined path what magick is and you will get a [...]

When I charted out the articles in the New To Wicca? section, I didn’t plan on including a segment solely about the Elements.  However, as I was writing, I realized I needed to put this somewhere on the site.  Some of that is because I consider myself to be an Elemental Witch.  I love Element [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I have a well-deserved reputation for being a “Bitch of a Witch” about ethics.  I spend weeks on the Laws of the Craft, breaking these Laws down into three separate types:  Nature, Craft, and Self.  Responses from Dedicants range from excitement at first, then turn into incredulity at the assignments I give, and finally understanding [...]
