Entheogens for the New Gen-February 2025: Terpene Magick!
Hello friends! I hope everyone is having an easier time in terms of success-Jupiter went direct yesterday. That aside, I have a special topic in store this month. Before we get into the meat and bones, I think I should explain first what exactly terpenes are, what they do, and how they work, on physical, mental and spiritual levels. Without getting too scientific about it, terpenes are what give different cannabis strains their unique flavor, their unique heritage as it’s called in the cannabis business, to then breed new strains. Terpenes work on all levels of existence, and I’m about to give away a huge cannabis witch secret: this is why cannabis is revered world-round…

A World Re-Enchanted February 2025
“It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.” R. R. Tolkien The elemental focus for this month based on the Elven lore of Arda is Water. As the above quote shows for the Elves of Arda water is a powerful force holding extensive wisdom and knowledge from the past. The Teleri or coastal Elves are most deeply connected to the ocean primarily and…

The Modern Merlin’s Corner-February 2025: Embodying the Divine Masculine in a Toxic Masculine Society
Hello, and welcome to February! I hope everyone who celebrates had a wonderful, and inspiring, Imbolc. We’re currently seeing the effects of toxic masculinity in our society-especially if you live in USA. Our leadership, to be blunt, embodies everything that the masculine energy has to offer in its shadow: greed, hatred, bigotry, intolerance, and more. While there are many who support this cult of personality surrounding the “FOTUS”, I believe there are many more who are opposed to him, including within the United States. As a male leftist, pagan, witch, sorcerer and mystic, embodying the masculine comes with a sort of taboo these days; many see anything masculine as simply…

Cody’s Column: Connecting with Your Spirits
We made it through our first full moon in January and still no snow. Now it is February, and we received snow on Imbolc. The forest is still not asleep by any means. The tree spirits seem talkative along the well-worn paths. Bird chatter is ever present and today I even came across a squirrel chirping in a cedar tree near the banks of the Magic Skagit River. I drew runes in the wet sand and got Nauthiz, the rune of need for my actions to take this month. This will be my jumping off point when I speak with the spirits of the land as well as the tree…

Weyland’s Whey February 2nd, 2025 Imbolc and Contest Results Column
Imbolc A Sabbat, Imbolc observes the halfway mark between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. It happens while the sun is in Aquarius, which is linked to humanitarianism, innovation and forward thinking (and can we sure use a lot more of that right around now!). So Imbolc’s ideal for dreaming, planning and setting long term goals. And this year, Neptune will start moving into Aries–which hasn’t happened since the 1870s. This heralds a shift from introspection to courage, initiation and the origination of spiritual ideals. Shifts in ideologies and social movements may occur, as well as more self expression and consideration of personal relationships. (That’s my cue to hide under the couch…

Wonderfully Wiccan with Derrick Land – January 2025: Spiritual Family: Traditions, Covens and Community
Bright blessings everyone and happy 2025! I’m super excited to be a new columnist here at PaganPages.org and look forward to sharing my experiences with you fine folks. I live in Texas, and we are experiencing our “winter” right now, which is basically a week or two of temperatures that are right around freezing. We might even get a touch of snow! I know for Northerners that’s nothing, but for us down South, any kind of freeze is chaotic. Seriously, businesses and schools shut down. It’s a whole thing. For me personally, I love the colder temperatures and the longer nights! I often joke that I have reverse SAD (Seasonal…

A Word Re-Enchanted January 2025
The Gregorian calendar has once again turned over and the start of a new year has begun. Change is a constant aspect of the seasons and time moves steadily forward. Here on the Big Island of Hawaii however things progress along pretty normal timelines. The seasons do not really exist and so tracking things like winter, spring, summer and fall are completely different. That being said even January has an impact as people look towards the newly unfolding year. Many people drawing on the fire ignited by the energy of the new year have started resolutions and sadly some have already ceased them and an estimated 43% will drop them…
