- Series Of Old Magic Spells Discovered In Serbia – these 2000 year old spells engraved on tiny silver and gold scrolls are delicate and beautiful but translation is incomplete as of yet.
- How Witchcraft On Facebook Is Helping People Grieve – spells cast through Facebook Live. The author found her online ritual unsatisfying but allows that others may find solace in online pagan communities.
- A Huddersfield witchcraft shop has banned Harry Potter fans because wands aren’t toys – originally I thought the shopkeeper a snob but then had it pointed out to me that wands are the ritual objects of a genuine faith. Thoughts?
- Bad Witch Workout Is Where Squats and Spells Go Hand in Hand – while some parts I don’t get (makeup while working out??) the bit about “so many exercise classes…feel alienating if you’re a weirdo or a goth or a punk-rock kid or a riot girl or a feminist” does sound familiar. Workouts for the weird with a dose of spirituality can’t be a bad thing.

So true! They really have to in order to stay relevant.
