Diana The Goddess an Excerpt from ‘Witchcraft: A Secret History’ by Michael Streeter
Diana The Goddess Excerpted from ‘Witchcraft: A Secret History’ by Michael Streeter The Roman Empire occupies an important place in the history of witchcraft.

Yet the Romans also bequeathed us the legacy of one of the most powerful goddesses of the ancient world, a goddess who was to…

Book Review – Pagan Portals-Thor: Meeting the Norse God of Thunder by Morgan Daimler
Book Review Pagan Portals: Thor Meeting the Norse God of Thunder by Morgan Daimler 104 Pages The Norse God, Thor is probably one of the most well known. You don’t have to be a pagan or mythology buff to have the general story of this God of Thunder who is part of the curriculum as first introductions in elementary school, and woven into much of secondary teaching.
