The Weekly Witch Review #96 : Doreen Valiente, Indigenous European Paganism, Biggy Pop, The Golden Hour & More!
TGiF Witches...
Welcome to the latest edition of "The Weekly Witch Review", a kickass guide to all things new & exciting (or at least new & exciting to me) on the wonderfully wacky world wide web...
★ Why We All Need Indigenous European Paganism.
★ You’re a fucking miracle. You just are. We don’t know where you came from, we don’t know why you’re here. We don’t know where you will go when you leave. There is no logic that will justly explain you. Your existence. Your eccentricities. Your occupation and expert navigation of skin and bones and brain. The way you breathe in symbiosis with trees that you’ve never even met. How you arrived on an inhale, and will eave on the exhale. Your heart beats for a place you’ve never been...
★ Discover the extraordinary story of Doreen Valiente, "the mother of modern witchcraft"...
★ KiCKASS TUNAGE : City Sun Eater In The River Of Light
★ We’re all made of star stuff... And THE STAR is one of all time favorite, most heavily used symbols. I doodle stars on everything from my book of shadows to random napkins & even my face! So... I'm not exactly hating this trend. Feel like I need to stock up on all the starry things before it's run its course.
★ Last weekend, I was messing around on Twitter and decided to check out the hashtag #WitchPower. That’s when I stumbled on this photo of the ever magickal Florence Welch performing with her band, which intrigued me, and so, of course I had to Google her name and the word "witch", which brought up some oh so juicy discoveries like this piece on the time she started a coven in middle school and this one about how she almost wrote a concept album about the witchcraft scene in Los Angeles. We DO have quite the scene here & I so would’ve loved to hear that album.
★ Angeleno Magick : Crystals, Numerology & Witches in Los Angeles…
★ If you've been following along with Lenora Henson's Wicked Garden series, you're probably all kinds of excited that The End Is Near...
★ Biggy Pop… Birds can make such great friends. -xo
★ Tess Whitehurst on energy, spellwork & magick. Follow the fun!
★ GET A LiFE : The Diaries Of Vivienne Westwood will be about more than punk fashion, which honestly would be more than enough for me. And yet I do believe that more is more & am super intrigued that she’ll be diving into everything from art & writing to climate change & freedom.
★ Did you catch this interview I did with kickass tarot creatrix Nora Huszka back in 2013? She's the artist who created the Gypsy Palace Tarot, and she's got another deck in the works that look all kinds of amazing!

And that’s the point of myth, I think — it’s the stories we tell about where we are and who we are, using the imaginal past and the actual landscape as the basis. But we shape both of these, to one degree or another...

Landscape
changes; myths evolve; new stories and symbols arise from their dance.
Some of these evolutions lead us to new folklores, some of which become a
part of fiction, which then loops back to change the conversation
again...
