Karl E.H. Seigfried delves into the ways we interpret and misinterpret the texts that shape our lives - whether those texts are Old Icelandic poems or the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

I love to travel by car, train, or boat. Whether a planned trip or an impulse adventure, making the most of an opportunity to revisit familiar and well-remembered places or explore new settings always makes me happy. For me the journey itself is as important as the destination. Music, conversation, comfortable silences, roadside diners, scenery, and side trips to see an old cabin or a waterfall or a special little bookstore add immeasurably to the width of each adventure.

We may be living under a dark cloud that threatens to rain on our parade, but our symbol is the rainbow. Though it will be hard work, will endure as we have always done. And when the clouds part we will shine in all of our colors, bigots be damned.

Studying Witchcraft taught me that I am my own temple, my own deity, my guardian, my healer, my savior, that the elements live in me, and that I’m part of a planet that vibrates with every beat of my heart. Whether through Witchcraft or any other spiritual path, if each person learned the same thing, it would be easier to accept the differences that make the world such a fascinating place instead of seeing them as a danger, a social cancer.

Estudiar brujería me enseñó que yo soy mi propio templo, mi propia deidad, mi guardián, mi sanador, salvador, que los elementos viven en mí, y que soy parte de un planeta que vibra con cada latido de mi corazón. Sea por medio de la brujería o cualquier otro camino espiritual, si cada persona aprendiera lo mismo, sería más fácil aceptar las diferencias que hacen del mundo un lugar tan fascinante en vez de verlas como un peligro, un cáncer social.

The din had been loud inside the house, but outside, I felt like I was being buffeted by it, surrounded on all sides by argument. I felt a guilty weight in the pit of my stomach. I knew what the sound was now. I looked up and without any joy found what I expected to find.

There were exactly two black crows sitting in the branches of my tree, facing my house, yelling at me.

“What do you want?” I sighed. But I knew.

Here is what I know about Robin Goodfellow, the Puck, the mythic figure that influenced Shakespeare’s work. He’s old - old enough that records in the 1500s talk about working with him as a practice that was already fading, only remembered by grandmothers. He’s famous - famous enough that, in one old text, some of the good folk in England are referred to as plural, "robingoodfellowes." He’s complicated. He’s a household name. All of this is true - and yet  I have only found a handful of Pagans practicing today who work with him.
