Ostara...It's Not Just For Kiddies Anymore!
by Bronwynn Torgerson [1,248 reads]
  When did our blessed Ostara get to be such a juvenile holiday? I recall being new to the Craft but long attuned to the seasons and cycles of the earth, and smelling the first breath of Spring in the air. There was a subtle shifting of energies, an inward stirring of freshness, possibility and new hope in the air. As a wilderness child, I avidly searched for the first hint that the cold earth had thawed, for the first glimpse of wild Dutch... [more]
Saying the "P" Word
by Valerie [1,701 reads]
 Not too long ago, in the context of a charitable association I have through the coven that I co-lead, I was invited to a “thank- you” cocktail party. The experience inspired some bizarre behavior on my part. Let me explain.Many witches and polytheists these days have an uncomfortable relationship with what is commonly called amongst many of us “the broom closet”. We are sometimes uncomfortable discussing our membership in a non-mainstream... [more]
Learning To Laugh Together
by Clever Brian [441 reads]
 In July of 2000, I was on a camping trip with some friends and family in Aptos, California. The mornings would change slowly, beautifully from a cool, grey fog so thick that you couldn’t see the campsite next to your own, to a gentle heat and sunlight that danced between the Manresa leaves just so… People came alive with the change, they’d rise about the same time, chatter at the one faucet that fed twenty campsites, cook breakfast on butane stov...

- I'm Not Proud To Be Pagan by Bronwen Forbes [Wvox Sponsor] [2,425 reads]
 In a previous piece here on Witchvox, I related the story of how I dared to show up at a hot, Southern Pagan Pride event in *gasp* shorts and a T-shirt rather than the apparent requisite flowing skirt, glitter and fairy wings. One of the other attend... [more]
- Defense of the Faith by Starina [1,114 reads]
 Wicca is, without doubt, the greatest threat to the establishment of the Christian church today. I predict that, given time, the views and the points that the Wicca bring forth to argue and defend their own faith, will, without fail, turn many people... [more]
- Being Spiritually Centered (And Tips On How To Get There) by Blackthorn Furie [645 reads]
 Witches are taught that life is an intricate web of interconnected forces; that we are all one and that each piece of the microcosm can influence the whole. We are also taught to think for ourselves (a bit of an oxymoron, I know) and that every livin... [more]

 Um.. Ok. I’m a just turned 18 Witch in the city of Virginia Beach. I have been practicing witchcraft since the sixth grade when my mother introduced me to it. She didn't really teach me, just gave me the tools to learn and gave me some nudges. ... [more]
- A New Way of Seeing Things by Rev. Nicholas Brown [458 reads]
 Being on the Pagan path is always an interesting road. Sometimes it is free and spirited and just like any other faith it has its times of doubt and frustration. For a long time I was in a funk I guess you could say, and I didn’t know how to deal wit... [more]

Orion on the Goddess (DVD)
Author: Foxwood, Olivares
Category: Pagan Inspirational DVD Level: All
Children’s author Katie Lydon Olivares interviews Orion Foxwood, author of "Tree of Enchantment" and "The Faery Teachings", about the Goddess. Orion answers with a depth and insight that is moving and thought-provoking.
This spontaneous interview took place after a weekend workshop on Faery Seership that was video-taped for a DVD series, and the happy accident of the cameras being present enabled a unique dialogue to be preserved and shared.
Katie interviewed Orion as part of her research for the new children’s book "Ancient Mysteries of the Goddess", available soon.

 Hail and Farewell
- by Featherscale [Audience: 6,903]
I often find it difficult to write about a song I've written. Sometimes there are in-jokes or subtleties that need to be explained, but for the most part, I feel like the song should speak for itself. Besides, like Elvis Costello said- Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
Anyway, this is the first single from the new album... ( Go To Performance)
