Please keep in mind that these links are just ones that I have found to introduce those who are not aware of what paganism/witchcraft is. Though I find them to be a good representative of my religious beliefs, I may not full-heartedly agree with some of the things writen within these sites. Also remember, this is strictly my opinion. I am *not* trying to convert anyone, or persecute anyone for their own personal beliefs, so please, don't send me any hate mail. I have plenty of good mail to go through as it is without nasty e-mails littering my e-mail account, not to mention, you won't change my mind anyways...
The Witches' Voice - This is, perhaps, one of the most comprehensive and easily understood FAQ pages on Paganism/Witchcraft I have seen! It's also filled with lots of neato thingys for practicing witches and is basically just a nifty site! Herbal Encyclopedia - Next to Scott Cunningham's book, this seems to be the best out there right now. Traditions List - This is a nice, simplified version of all the different traditions of Witchcraft/Paganism. Wheel of the Year - There are 3 different sites that seem to compliment one another regarding the ritual holidays: 1. Wheel of the Year - This is the basic descriptions and reasons why we celebrate the hoildays. 2. Wheel of the Year - This one gives a chart of the holidays with the symbolic elements for each holiday! Pretty handy! 3. Wheel of the Year - This site provides a little bit more in depth view of the holidays and gives some of their origins. A pretty good site for those who need more info! Gerald B. Gardner - This is a well written historical time-line of how the Gardenian Tradition started. We can thank Gardner for basically getting the Neo-Pagan movement rolling. Doreen Valiente - A follower of Gardner, she contributed much to the pagan movement. This is a *brilliant* and detailed interview with her. She will be sorely missed. Isaac Bonewits - With a degee from UC Berkley for Magic and Thaumaturgy, this man helped give the neo-pagan monement a great push forward. This is his personal web-page. Animals Represented in Mythology and Folklore Shamanism - Find your personal totem! Unfortuneately, Margot Adler does not have her own web-page, nor are their any good web-pages about her, that I have found. She wrote the book, "Drawing Down the Moon", which has almost become the Witches' Bible. Though dated, it is still a must for any witch or pagan to have on their bookshelf. If you are interested in the origins and different traditions of neo-paganism in detail, I strongly suggest you get yourself a copy! |
