Paganism/Wicca Feature Writer: Joanne E. Brannan

Paganism and Wicca are enjoying a renaissance. People are discovering new ways to celebrate and work with the spiritual side of nature.

Also attracting a great deal of interest in the modern world shamanism enables practitioners to voyage to other realms by harnessing the wisdom of generations of shamans from around the world.

The Ancient Druids fascinate us, and modern Druidism builds on this noble tradition by combining the best of ancient practice with present day desires to reconnect with nature.

Seeking to recreate ancient religious practices, Reconstructionist Pagan Religions use both thoroughly researched historical facts as well as surviving folklore and practices.
