Offerings magazine

Our free online magazine has been running for over 4 years. Issue 18 of Offerings magazine has its regular Editorial, this time ranting about people who wear elf ears; we also have an excellent article on "Celtic Religion" and if that term means anything at all, a piece by Wiccan High Priest Peter Nash about healing in Wicca, an article on the history, symbolism, and lore of the humble (yet beautiful) rose, and a rather virulent rant about "Organized Pagan Practice Syndrome". On top of this, we've got several other great articles from CUPS members and other Pagan authors and experts, a dozen reviews of recent events, books, films, and Tarot decks, and some fantastic short fiction. There's plenty to keep you reading for a while, so enjoy!

TONIGHT: UKPagan moot with talk

First let me make a quick apology for taking my eyes off the ball: the Pagan Society's spring events programme will be out soon.

Now then, tonight (Sunday 7 Feb) is time once again for the excellent local Pagan moot organised by members of the UK Pagan "The Valley" forum. Tonight's talk is by the Pagan Society's very own Jenni Bergman, who will be talking to us about her research on elves in folklore. As a postgraduate student at Cardiff University, Jenni has been able to look at appearances of the "other folk" in tales from across Europe, seeking out common elements to the stories and placing the concept of elves in its true cultural and mythical context. Join us in the upstairs function room of the Rummer Tavern, opposite Cardiff Castle, from 8pm, for drinks, chat, and an interesting talk. The organisers ask for a £1 contribution per person, to cover the cost of room hire.
