All Issues

Issue 18 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!

 

Issue 17 of Offerings magazine is ready for your perusal, and it's a fantastic issue full of interesting articles, reviews, poetry, and rants. We've got an Editorial ranting about enthusiasm in the Pagan community and spoonfeeding; some rather tantalizing pieces about the hidden symbolism of Starbucks and the Charge of the Coffee Goddess by Sarah Fisher; articles on Glamour Magic, concepts of death in Indian thought (nice and macabre for you!) a new regular column called The All-Seeing Eye, and many more articles by Pagan Society members.

 

In this issue, read Kim's typically sarcastic and bitter Editorial, this time dealing with conventional Pagan values and judgement; read a potted history of the development of British Paganism, introductions to some of the regular events the Pagan Society will be holding over the coming year, and find out how to begin the Chinese spiritual practice of Qi Gong.

As usual, we've got our regular comic strip, Pandora Pagan, several items of poetry, and a few reviews. We've also got a rather interesting interview with a Dorset-based Vodou priest, Drac Uber.

 

This issue is brimming with stuff, from articles and reviews, to poetry and short fiction. Read about the Northern Heathen ideas of cosmology and the afterlife in "Beyond Midgard", how to make your own magical tools without spending any money, and find out who the Goddess La Sirene is. We've also got the minutes of our recent Annual General Meeting, an inaugural Presidential "speech" from Jon Underhill, and the usual sarcastic Editorial from myself (lovingly entitled "Sacrifice, Blood Magic, and the Other Stuff we pretend we don't do").

 

It seems the approaching Summer Solstice has inspired several of Pagan Soc's members, since we have poetry from Sarah Fisher, Harrison Mansfield, and Tylluan Penry, two pieces of eerie short fiction about the Green Man and vaginas with teeth, and a smattering of Tarot deck, book, and DVD reviews.

Oh, and let's not forget the new issue of our very own comic strip, Pandora Pagan! As usual, there's much more in there, and you can read the entire magazine here.

We've got quite a creative issue this time round, since it's full of short fiction, artwork, and poetry some some of our members and associate members. You can read about the spiritual artwork of Angela Ferreira, learn how to love Runes and familiarize yourself with them, and find out how to use herbalism safely. This issue's Editorial is at its usual level of sarcastic and cynical critique, but that's offset by some of the fiction: including a mermaid folktale set in the modern era, a Vodou-style James Bond inspired mystery, and a piece of poetry for the Norse Goddess Freyja!

 

It may be number Thirteen but you won't find Pandora Pagan being unlucky... Continuing the superstitious theme, Kim Huggens takes a look at how death is inextricably intertwined with dance and David Benton introduces us to a master of eldritch magic novels, Dennis Wheatley.  We're not publishing any articles from Moonbeyme Skydancyer, and you'll know why once you've read Philip Doré's article... As always we've much more, including poetry, fiction and loads of reviews!

 

This issue, Phil Doré takes a look at the Megaliths of Carnac, Brittany , Sarah Fisher explores belly dance and its relations to the Sacred Feminine, we have an interesting look at good old-fashioned hexing, an introduction to Gematria and more!  You can also find a couple of reviews of the film that got the Pagan community talking (Wicker Man Remake), Pandora Pagan is back with more comic-strippy goodness, our Editor rants about body shape and size in her Editorial, and of course there's lots of poetry, fiction, and reviews.

In Issue 11, you'll find a guide to Egypt for neo-Pagan tourists, the story of The Last Tree, an exploration of the many facets of the Goddess Tara, and even the occasional brownie! Read the magazine in full here.

 

In this issue we have another ranty editorial from Kim - this time she's picking on Pagan elitism.  There's fiction inspired by the work of H P Lovecraft, looking at what might happen if New Age fluffies got hold of the Necronomicon... If you fancy something a little different we also have an article on Pagan themes in Animé.  We also have an exploration of Tarot through in the world of comic books (yay for the geeks, we love them so); Pandora Pagan saving us all from embarrassment, plus poetry, reviews and much much more as always!

 

In this issue of Offerings, you'll find Goddesses galore with articles on Brighid, Nuit and Hecate, as well as the latest innovation in portable Paganism, Pandora's Christmas Special and much more as usual!

 

In our eighth issue, discover the accessible art of numerology; explore the issues of Paganism and its relation to history; find out about the aboriginal figure of the Rainbow Snake; and read a modern re-telling of the Greek myth of Persephone's Descent into the Underworld and much much more.

 

This issue, read about the Egyptian God Ra and his ancient cult, how you can be a Pagan without believing in Gods, what Nietzsche has to do with Paganism, and much more, as always! You'll also find the second issue of the Pagan Society comic strip, Pandora Pagan, along with plenty of reviews (including one of the Bible!) and a smattering of poetry.

 

In this Ostara issue, discover the magic of Ewoks, find out how to channel deities, explore the links between Paganism and postmodernism, and much more as always!

In this issue of C.U.P.S. Magazine, read about the life of Agrippa, our very own Harry Potter Tarot, and how to read your dreams, amongst many, many others!

 

This article-packed issue looks at Tasseomancy, genetic modification, the Centenary of Liber al vel Legis, and why you need to get in touch with your masculine side...

 

Issue 2 was our longest issue ever - it is full of fascinating information.
