The Origins of Wicca in a Historical Perspective

Wicca’s or The Craft’s origins are complicated, although traditional Wicca is rooted in so-called “British Mystery Traditions,” such as those of the Picts, who existed before the advent of Celtic consciousness, the Celts, and some Celtic Druidism. Wicca predates Christianity by about 28,000 years. A variety of archaeological finds show that Wicca’s history can be traced back to Paleolithic peoples who worshiped a Hunter God and a Fertility Goddess. Cave paintings from roughly 30,000 years ago portray a guy with a stag’s head and a pregnant lady standing in a circle with eleven other people. Modern American Wicca comes from...

The Six Basic Fears of Mankind – Fear of Ill Health

THE FEAR OF ILL HEALTH This anxiety derives, to a large measure, from the same causes as the worries of poverty and old age. Fear of Ill Health must necessarily be related to both Poverty and Old Age because it also leads to the boundary line of “awful worlds,” about which man knows nothing but has heard some unsettling stories. The person believes that individuals in the business of marketing good health treatments have played a significant role in keeping the fear of illness alive in the human mind. For as long as the human race’s record can be relied...

THE FEAR OF CRITICISM It is difficult, if not impossible, to identify how man gained this basic dread, but one thing is certain: he has it in a well-developed form. Some believe that this fear first appeared in man’s consciousness around the time that politics emerged. Others say it can be dated back to the inaugural gathering of a female organization known as a “Woman’s Club.” Another school of humorists attributes the origin to the contents of the Holy Bible, whose chapters are rife with scathing and harsh criticism. If the latter claim is right and people who take literally...

Origins of Beltane The origins of Beltane can be traced back to the pre-Christian era of the Gaelic and Celtic peoples who lived in what is now Ireland, Scotland, and parts of England. It was a...

From Olympus to Asgard: The Pantheons of the Ancient World

Exploring the Divine Hierarchies and Rivalries Across Mythologies From the peaks of Mount Olympus to the shining gates of Asgard, humanity has long envisioned its gods as rulers seated on celestial thrones. These pantheons were more than collections of deities; they were reflections of cosmic order, human politics, and the eternal struggle between chaos and harmony. Each civilization painted its divine world like a mirror of its own. The Greeks saw a family of quarrelsome immortals whose passions echoed human frailty. The Norse envisioned grim warriors bound by fate, marching toward an inevitable end. The Egyptians established a sacred hierarchy...
