Hello Lovelies,

Today I want to talk to you about something that has bothered me about the Pagan Community for some time. I want to talk about the idea of Non-Traditional paths and how those who follow the Traditional paths tend to look down their noses at those of us who don’t…

I think it’s something that more of us than not have thought about… My personal spiritual practices, and my craft are based on my own experiences with the world, and the Divine. What feels right, I do, what feels wrong, I don’t. Not hard, but not necessarily traditional because I don’t have a specific written text that I adhere to, I am not initiated into any traditions/covens, and I tend to mix a bunch of different traditions together based on the needs of my ritual, spell work, intentions, etc. Side note – while I do have one book one a specific tradition that I very much want to read, I can’t bring myself to do it yet. Which tells me, I am not meant to right now. My solitary, dark, and eccletic path are just what I need at the moment!

So rather than re-invent the wheel and discuss this any further… I would like for you to check out this link to an article on Patheos.com: Non-Traditional Witchcraft is Not a Crime. It sums up nicely what more I would want to say on this topic, and I think it gives the subject the right amount of levity and gravity it deserves.

With Love, and Light,

Iona
