Wednesday Webshare: Tombs, Veils, and Peacock Angels


Welcome back to Wednesday Webshares! It’s been far too long since I’ve done these. If you come across great articles, new blogs, sites, reviews, projects, kickstarters, etc online that you think deserve to be included in the next WW just comment or tweet or whatever at me with the info.

The Island of Jersey fences off an ancient tomb, much to the displeasure of the local pagans. It is apparently being fenced off for preservation and restoration. I had no idea such things were on Jersey. It’s really interesting to me as the European side of my family is largely from Guernsey and Jersey.

A tumblr post that is resharing a twitter essay. The Veil between the Worlds is a really common (neo)pagan trope or expression, but it’s origins are very very modern. Make of that what you will, but the Veil was not part of an historical tradition.

I’m a fan of political magick, as well as practical and personal magick. Cat Vincent shares a piece of magick against facism and Brexit specifically. It’s also refreshing in these times where we see too often pagan groups and symbolism being coopted by bigoted fascist cranberry fucknuts to see someone turn their magick against that directly. If there is one thing I learned from Bedknobs and Broomsticks as a kid, it’s that magick is an acceptable weapon against Nazis and other bigots and fascists.

I am in love with Andrew’s newest project, a quilt inspired by Melek Taus, with whom many folks know I have a complicated relationship. Unfortunately owning said quilt is not in the (credit) cards for me.

Speaking of Melek Taus, here is a great interview by Mat Auryn with Storm Faerywolf about the Blue God of the Feri tradition and his connection to Melek Taus.

Spiral Nature releases its financial information for the month. It might not be the most riveting of topics, but it’s a good read. Spiral Nature is a great free online occult magazine that I’ve been reading for…longer than I’d like to admit, cause I think I might have readers who weren’t born yet (does that make you feel old too Psyche?)…and I’ve been writing for them for a decade. Unfortunately running an online magazine isn’t necessarily free, but the post talks about different ways you can help support the site. Even if you can’t support financially you can always provide feedback on what the magazine should contain to help us appeal to a larger audience, and sharing is always appreciated.

Frater S.C.F.V. wrote a great piece on the purpose, usage, and consecration of the Solomonic wand. Recommended reading for anyone with interests in the grimoire tradition.

I also want to redirect people to the post I put up about the 80 Goetia Coin kickstarter. I’m excited by this project and since I posted it four days ago it’s received another $22,000 of backing, which for a project that only requested $1,200 to be backed is pretty great. I have so many ideas running through my head for how to have fun with these coins.
