Wicca Done Wrong
Back in October, I briefly touched on the idea that, while there are an abundance of right ways to practice Wicca, there is also a definite wrong way. That statement may have ruffled a few feathers, so I wanted to discuss the concept a little further. When I say that …
Being Black And Pagan
Last night, my partner and I were watching one of my favorite shows on Hulu, the instant classic Black-ish. It’s a show that stars Tracee Ellis Ross and Anthony Anderson as a mother and father of four children living in an affluent, predominately white neighborhood. While the show is filled …
Rhyme All The Time!
Raise your hand if you love spells that rhyme. Just kidding, don’t raise your hand. I can’t see you and you’re probably disturbing the people around you. But if you figuratively raised your hand, I’m right there with you. Spells that rhyme are the bees-knees (not that I know much …

The Lawful Witch
If you’re new to Wicca, you may hear a rumor in the online Pagan community that Wicca is a religion without rules. This isn’t exactly true. In the first lesson of the Maiden’s Circle Covenpath course, students are asked to read some common texts in the Pagan community known as …
