Para meu irmão Macus Edan, que as bençãos da Deusa caiam sobre você e tudo o que fizeres. 5 AGRADECIMENTOS Gostaria de manifestar a minha gratidão à silenciosa sa- bedoria dos milhares de Bruxas que, sob repressão, não puderam tornar públicos seus conhecimentos. Seu silencioso poder e o poder da Deusa Ísis insuflaram-me coragem e inspiração para expressar as minhas próprias idéias e viver completamente como Bruxa. Agradeço a Lady Sybil Leek, que corajosamente disse o que pensava e abriu os portais, e a todas as Bruxas Anciãs que me apoiaram nos objetivos de minha vida. Escrevo este livro para dar meu testemunho de amor e homenagem a minhas filhas, Jody e Penny, ao constante apoio de Alice Keegan, a minha Assembléia 1, às Pombas Negras de Isis, e ao Conselho da Comunidade Isis — as Bruxas de Salem. Agradecimentos especiais a Lady Zara, Lorde Azaradel, Lorde Theodore Mills, Marlene McKinley, Ph.D., Tina Sciola, Ralph Turcott, Yoko Ono e John Lennon. Também gostaríamos de agradecer a Jody Rein, nossa editora, e a Susan Lee Cohen, nossa agente, por seu constante apoio e incentivo.

  • Constructing the Witch in Contemporary American Popular Culture
    "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES": CONSTRUCTING THE WITCH IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN POPULAR CULTURE Catherine Armetta Shufelt A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2007 Committee: Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor Dr. Andrew M. Schocket Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Donald McQuarie Dr. Esther Clinton © 2007 Catherine A. Shufelt All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Angela Nelson, Advisor What is a Witch? Traditional mainstream media images of Witches tell us they are evil “devil worshipping baby killers,” green-skinned hags who fly on brooms, or flaky tree huggers who dance naked in the woods. A variety of mainstream media has worked to support these notions as well as develop new ones. Contemporary American popular culture shows us images of Witches on television shows and in films vanquishing demons, traveling back and forth in time and from one reality to another, speaking with dead relatives, and attending private schools, among other things. None of these mainstream images acknowledge the very real beliefs and traditions of modern Witches and Pagans, or speak to the depth and variety of social, cultural, political, and environmental work being undertaken by Pagan and Wiccan groups and individuals around the world. Utilizing social construction theory, this study examines the “historical process” of the construction of stereotypes surrounding Witches in mainstream American society as well as how groups and individuals who call themselves Pagan and/or Wiccan have utilized the only media technology available to them, the internet, to resist and re- construct these images in order to present more positive images of themselves as well as build community between and among Pagans and nonPagans.

  • New Age and Neopagan Religions in America
    CHAPTER SEVEN The Age of Aquarius Although the idea of a New Age was popularized by Alice Bailey in the early twentieth century, the term had been around at least since the American Rev- olution before it was used self-consciously by Theosophists like her who be- lieved a “master” would come to enlighten humanity and usher us into a new age. The concept picked up relevance as the s counterculture looked to- ward the Age of Aquarius as a utopian future of peace and equality. Move- ments aimed at social and personal transformation that emerged or were given new meaning in the s continue to shape New Age and Neopagan religions. Ideas about the expected new era vary among Neopagans and New Agers, just as they ranged in the s from social revolution to com- munal escape from society. But most agree that it will include a changed dy- namic between men and women, healthy diet, holistic healing practices, and peacefulness. Along with and related to holistic healing and feminist restructuring, en- vironmentalist concerns are seen as key in bringing about the transformation of society. Many New Agers and Neopagans believe that an ecologically vi- able relationship to the natural world will characterize the future age, when humans will live more harmoniously on earth. Some also believe the earth it- self, a living being that has been ill used by humanity, will bring about cata- clysmic changes, while others expect a gradual dawning of enlightened con- sciousness among large numbers of people to usher in the New Age. Goddess religion will emerge from a “Great Purification,” claim some ob- servers, borrowing a phrase from Hopi prophecy: “Look at the freak weather phenomena all around us .

    Pagan World 29 Pagan World 29 Year 8 Issue 1 March 21, 2006 Welcome to the 29th issue of Pagan World! After a one year hiatus, it is great to be back with my 'baby' Pagan World! A big thanks to Celeb for taking such good care of Pagan World during my one-year absence! L L A bit of history about Pagan World : This magazine began as a hard-copy only newsletter back in 1997, when Tony Kemp, who at the time was the International Coordinator of the PFI, realized that European members of the UK based Pagan Federation should have a newsletter for themselves, giving us more 'local' information than the UK oriented member magazine Pagan Dawn. So on top of all of his other PF work, in 1998 Tony published two issues of a newsletter that he called Europa . In March 1999, being buried under with writing his own books and other personal obligations, Tony Kemp handed over the editorship of Europa to me and his position as International Coordinator over to Morgana. We then immediately began to produce Europa every 3 months in both a hard-copy version (for members without an internet connection), as well as an online version. The online version served 3 important purposes: 1) it cut our costs greatly letting us use the extra cash to organize more conferences and activities 2) it allowed us to spread our Pagan wings worldwide 3) and last but not least, we killed less trees. It quickly became apparent that the online version 'worked'. Not only had the Pagan Federation branched out of the UK into Europe, but into the rest of the World.

Must read for all Cabot witches and witches everywhere.By Derrick AubinI am a Cabot initiate from about 20 years ago. This book is a valuable resource of Laurie's lifetime of teaching. Unlike other more secretive traditions, the Cabot Book of Shadows is open and available to all who seek the wisdom of the Craft. Laurie's straightforward writing style makes the information highly accessible. There is no other volume on witchcraft of which I am aware that is this comprehensive.Unlike many traditions, Laurie's take on witchcraft is based in science. You will learn about Alpha brain waves and how you can readily access your relaxed, subconscious mind, visualizing and projecting your thoughts, leading to their ultimate realization. She teaches you protection, and how to avoid mental traps that lead to backfiring of projections. The art and religion of witchcraft build upon this foundation.Whether you are seeking initiation into the Cabot Tradition, or looking to broaden your knowledge, your investment of time with this book will lead to solid spiritual enrichment.8 of 8 people found the following review helpful.

Spring and the planting season are right around the corner. The Ancient Egyptians celebrated this time of year as a Feast of Nut, whose birthday falls on February 2nd. (Gregorian Calendar). According the Book of the Dead, Nut was seen as a mother-figure to the sun god Ra, who at sunrise was known as Khepera and took the form of a scarab beetle. Brigid was the wife of Bres, and Irish King. Together they produced three sons, each of them became a famous warrior. Brigid and her husband came from two warring tribes and hoped their marriage would end the enmity between their kin. Unfortunately, it did not. The battlefield death of their son Ruadan assured Brigid’s role as Goddess of Peace and unity. Eventually, the love and respect for the goddess Brigid brought unity to the Celts who were spread throughout Europe. Regardless of their differences, they all agreed upon the goodness and compassion. Photo Courtesy of Jenney Foley Ostara March 19th- March 22nd Ostara, the Vernal Equinox.

  • A Brief Introduction to Pagan Traditions in America [Pluralism Project CD Rom, "On Common Ground: World Religions in America," Columbia University Press, 1997, Rev
    3/3/16, 8:54 AM A Brief Introduction to Pagan Traditions in America [Pluralism Project CD Rom, "On Common Ground: World Religions in America," Columbia University Press, 1997, rev. 2002] Roots in Ancient Cultures The many present-day American religious communities clustered under the name Paganism have roots in ancient cultures from all over the world. "Pagan" originally meant "country dweller," implying a life lived off the land, close to the seasons and cycles of nature. Today, the many congregations and communities of "Neo-Pagans" in America, different as they may be, would all describe their tradition as an Earth Religion, in which all life is seen to be sacred and interconnected. Many American Pagans are active participants in the environmental movement, seeking to live in a way that honors the Earth and the cycles and balances of nature. With the twentieth-century resurgence of Paganism has come an attempt to reconstruct, historically and sometimes creatively, the long history of Pagan religious traditions. Through the lens of twentieth-century concerns, modern-day Pagans have made a serious attempt to reconstruct the history of the Earth- centered traditions maintained in ancient times without written records or scriptures. With a keen interest in ecology and in the Earth, Pagan movements pay special attention to the many feminine faces of the Divine. Both women and men are involved in Paganism, but the tradition is especially open to women taking on leadership roles. The modern Pagan resurgence has been stimulated by highly speculative and imaginative research and writing. The work of folklorist Margaret Murray, beginning in the 1920s, caught the imagination of many with its theories of persistent Goddess worship and Pagan tradition in the Christianized West.

  • A Halloween Book
    A Halloween Book WARNING! This book is NOT intended for children! It is written to warn parents and adults of abominations and perversions of Halloween, witchcraft and the occult. Topics: Introduction Purpose My Past Association With Halloween Challenge, Research and Change Introduction And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. Ephesians 5:11 Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31 The sidewalks are swarming with excited children and young people masquerading as every imaginable creature and character…witches, animals, vampires, ghosts, mummies, cartoon characters, alien beings, clowns, devils, skeletons, hideous looking monsters, bloody mutilated beings and more. These kids go door-to-door shouting "Trick or Treat", hoping to collect a "ton" of candy before the night is over. Take a look at the houses and yards the children are approaching. Many of them are decorated in a bizarre motif. Tombstones, graves with body parts exposed, ghosts, caldrons, supposed bodies hung by the neck are scattered around the yard and in the trees. Eerie grinning Jack-O-Lanterns watch as the children approach. Skeletons, scarecrows, witches, black cats, etc. decorate the doors and windows. Oh yes, then there is an array of seasonal entertainment. The "haunted house" is easy enough to spot. You'll be able to find it by the long line and the strange sounds coming out of the old mansion. Likely you will find a group of kids talking about what they've just seen inside...the bloody body in the bathtub, the axe wielding maniac that chased them, the monster that jumped out swinging at them with a chain saw, the body hanging by the neck in the closet, and the refrigerator in the kitchen filled with bloody body parts.
