Witchcraft
In the 1970’s a Witch named Laurie Cabot moved to Salem, Massachusetts. This is notable for a variety of reasons, one of which is that Cabot opened the first Witch Shop in Salem. This, along with a few other key events, helped change Salem’s perception of its own history. It also established a home for contemporary Wiccans, Witches, and other Neopagans in Salem. Since Salem and Witchcraft are so linked, it should be no surprise that I am absolutely fascinated with all things Witchy. Explore all the dark things your little Pagan heart desires below.

Feraferia
Imagine a secluded society on the top of a distant mountain. The people there surround themselves with ramshackle temples and hand-made talismans of the Goddess, crafted over many years by several calloused hands. Imagine these followers thrive emotionally, spiritually, and psychically deep in the heart of nature. They sing devotional chants and dance a waltz of cosmic bliss, enshrouded in an ecological paradise. These are the followers of Feraferia.
