Update: Outgrowing Paganism?
Since I first posted about Pagan podcasters Deò and Mandy, and their transition to atheism, a remarkably vibrant and thoughtful discussion has emerged in the comments section (Nearing 100 comments!). I urge you to take a moment and check it out if you haven’t already. However, my blog is hardly the only one exploring this [...]

Pagans (and Masons) at the Inauguration
Inaugural fever is heating up in Washington DC, and millions of people are expected to be on hand for Barack Obama’s inauguration. Since all those people won’t fit into (or weren’t invited to) the 10 official balls the Obamas will be attending, several lobbies, special interest groups, and private citizens are throwing their own bashes [...]

In Case of LiveJournal Failure
Many of my regular readers also happen to subscribe to this site via a LiveJournal syndication feed. Today the Valleywag blog brought the news that Sup, the Russian Internet startup that owns LiveJournal, has just laid off 2/3rds of the popular journaling site’s staff (though some argue it’s more like 1/2 than 2/3rds).

Will Supremes Weigh in on Skiers vs. Sacred Land?
A story I have been covering for some time, the saga of a ski resort wanting to spray (treated) wastewater snow on the San Francisco Peaks, may be entering its final act.

Making deòs Shadow was usually a joy, [...]

Quick Note: That Trick Never Works
Note to my fellow Pagans and Witches: threatening to hex the police officer won’t get you out of a ticket.
But, sometime the most memorable stories are just the reactions from drivers, such a witch stopped by California Highway Patrol Officer Tom Maguire . “I was hexed by a witch,” said Maguire, who works in the [...]

(Pagan) News of Note
My semi-regular round-up of articles, essays, and opinions of note for discerning Pagans and Heathens.
Cuba’s babalawos have gotten together once again to make predictions for the coming year. While warning against natural disasters and marital strife, they seem somewhat upbeat (if cautious) about economic matters.
“There is a favorable time for loans, an increase in certain [...]

Saving A Skinny White Chick
Word has been buzzing around the Internet that popular Pagan musician SJ Tucker (aka Sooj, aka “skinny white chick”) has been hospitalized with what appears to be appendicitis. Like many independent musicians and artists, she doesn’t have any health insurance and is facing a massive medical bill of $25,000 dollars or more. Friends, fans, and [...]

The Times-Picayune brings us the story of a Wiccan mother, Susan “Willow” Schroeder, who responded to her son’s shooting death by painting her house, fence, and surrounding sidewalk with colorful designs and patterns. Schroeder, who fought having her house demolished last year, is now dealing with an angry neighbor unhappy with the painted sidewalk, [...]

Forgive the Dust
The Wild Hunt is currently undergoing a new-years facelift and move from Blogger to Wordpress. Forgive the hiccups, dust, and rude comments from the construction workers while I get things in order.
Forwarding should already be in place, but I would appreciate it if you update your links from www.wildhunt.org/blog.html to www.wildhunt.org/blog/ for optimum performance.
