It’s gone through periods of hyperactivity and lagging for months without posts, but I think we’ve entered into a decent rhythm now. I’ve found it to be quite a learning curve, despite beginning my first blog in 2001, but it’s also been a lot of fun.
Write for us!
We’ve had guest bloggers in the past, but I’d like to open the blog up to anyone who’s interested in writing for it, be it a guest post or a regular column.
We’ve submission guidelines posted, but if you’ve been reading for a few weeks or – how exciting – since the beginning, then you probably have a good idea of the sorts of things we write about here. Continue reading »
If you find all of this worrying, you can always pick up a nineteenth century vampire killing kit. I know I’d feel safer with one. My kitchen’s always running out of garlic.

However, for those of you looking to build your libraries, definitely check it out, as well as the rest of their stock. There are usually quite a few good finds.
Rending the Veil is an online occult magazine. Last ish they ran a piece by Donald Tyson called “Atheism – The Real Enemy“, in which Tyson ranted about atheism, demanding Christians and Pagans band together to take up arms against what he perceives as the Atheist Threat.

My response is riffs off Tyson’s, “Ignorance – The Real Enemy” and actually explains what atheism is, how it differs from agnosticism and demonstrates that atheism and magick can and do indeed co-exist peacefully. Another essay will follow in the next issue which will explore this in more detail, but this is a start.
