We will not be doing the Google classroom and directed course learning this year because none of the Open Minded Leaders have time, unfortunately. However that was never a requirement to join our coven when we do initiations at Samhain, so we will still do new member admissions in the fall!

Wicca had two main founders, actually, and one was not as Hermetic from the start. Doreen Valiente actually spent time flirting with his coven after she left Gardner's, before ultimately deciding to be a solitary witch.
Wicca does not have one single founder.

The Wiccan Rede is often quoted but rarely explained. I dug into its origins, its meaning, and why it’s not quite the “one rule” people think it is.
If you love history, nuance, or modern Pagan practice, you’ll enjoy this one.

The Wiccan Rede isn't what it appears to be at first. And it isn't a commandment. But what is the Rede and where did it come from?

I think the fact that evil is inherently non-sensical is sensical, though. It can be understood as a tautology. Evil is Madness, but not all Madness is Evil. There is cardinality for chaos: that which brings disorder and greater obfuscation of Truth is chaotic Evil, that which furthers order- Good.
the tl;dr for people who are interested but feel thrown off by German terms or unfamiliar vocabulary: evil makes no fucking sense. It’s not wrong to try to understand it academically, but its existence is ultimately parasitic of what is good in the world.

The obsession with virginity in abrahamic religions is proof that males wrote these books esp Christianity like god impregnating a "virgin" 14 yo girl just cause she was considered "pure" makes no sense she was raped just like many girls who were raped in the name of religion

The Epstein files contain evidence of Epstein ties to at least four different intel services, of which Mossad is one. Given the statements of Ehud Barak and Ari Ben Menashe about Epstein's collaboration with Mossad, that's hard to dispute. But it doesn't necessarily mean he was an _agent_.

The Dunning Kruger effect causes people who don't know enough in the field to over or underestimate others' knowledge of the field, largely along existing lines of bias inside of them. They're more inclined to think someone who agrees with them is an expert, in other words. Fascinating, huh?

A cognitive worldview built around the objectified self is inherently circular because it’s timeless and self-referential.
The future, like the empty set is, an abstract hypothetical. It is absolutist because its essence is defined as something that can never be realized. Unreal. Non-relativistic.

This is excellent. Do you know what I find most interesting about it? The light takes up space, it necessarily extends beyond the boundaries of the lanterns as color, because its a painting. It's remarkable I've never noticed that before.

Apathy reforms within her body, woven anew from threads of Trauma. Empathy ever dances with, back and forth, push then pull, undulating rhythmically to the beat of Love, as they had once, long ago. "Weave with me, make one by three" she whispers into the resonance and Mercy spills forth. Blessed be.
