Here in the lowlands of Western Maryland, it’s finally beginning to feel like Autumn. The first evenings with a chill in the air are here and as a seasonal eater, I was excited to return soups and stews to my meal planning. As I contemplate the different shifts and changes of the coming cooler, darker…

One of the running jokes within Paganism is references to “smells and bells” – our love for and use of various sensory tools and techniques when it comes to spiritual practice. Pagan rituals are often lush with texture. We use incense and sacred fires, singing bowls, bells, and chanting, rough cut stone and shining crystals,…
I don’t remember where I first heard the phrase “in order to create a new reality, we must first be able to imagine it.” That phrase is especially true when the reality around us is challenging. As I am writing this, we’re in a Code Red air day due to smoke from the fires in…
One of the things I love about my job is that I get the weird questions. By the time someone has booked a session with a professional divinator and witch, they’ve already tried all the standard solutions. We’re the last resort, or at the very least pretty far down on the list. Since most mundane…

Most of us who have been at…

Paganism and Witchcraft offer a unique spiritual form: a world-affirming spirituality that includes our bodies. When we truly approach our magical practice as a whole being, the…
I recently had a chance to hang out with Lonnie Scott of Weird Web Radio for a wide ranging, often hilarious, sometimes profane (that part was my fault) foray into Heathenry, magic, and more. I had a blast and I think you can tell! ‘This episode features Irene Glasse! Irene is the co-author of The…
This past Thursday through Sunday was the Sacred Space and Between the Worlds Conference. This particular gathering was a joint venture between two merged events. The Sacred Space Conference is the premier conference for intermediate to advanced practitioners on the East Coast. The Between The Worlds Conference serves a similar audience but is offered at…
To be a witch is to be a liminal being in a world that loves absolutes. The phrase we learn early on about casting circles is generally something along the lines of “a time between times, a place between places.” From the very beginning of our dabblings in witchcraft, we learn to bend our perception…
