One of the most beautiful things about Raven Grimassi as a teacher and an author is the depth that he brings forward to share with the pagan and witchcraft communities. His contributions as a much loved and respected elder through his writings are unlike anyone else. Often presenting research on ancient concepts, myths, lore and practices he also breathes new life into them with his wisdom, experience and innovation. His latest book Communing with the Ancestors: Your Spirit Guides, Bloodline Allies,... Read more

In this book we’re given a glimpse into the world of his BlueRose Faery tradition. Faery (also spelled as Feri) is... Read more
But what about ancestors that are less savory characters, that caused trauma, that were toxic, that you disowned when they were living or they disowned you? Read more
Honestly, I’m not a big fan of most published spell books…that is to say, unless they’re by Judika Illes. Any witch worth their black salt knows that Judika’s spell books are of the highest quality. Judika is one of those authors that I buy every book of hers that I can get my hands on. She is not only a walking, talking, occult encyclopedia but she’s literally written several massive encyclopedias on the topics of Witchcraft, Spells, Spirits and Saints. Judika’s spells, recipes and blends... Read more
Paganism has a problem and it isn't that it's dying. Paganism has given rise to cannibalism in various forms. Is Paganism dying? It may certainly seem that way to those who are eating their own. Read more
