What are the social, moral, civic, and theological implications of Pagan religious experience?
That's the question that began the project which is The Pagan Institute Report. It's a different
kind of Pagan publication, largely
focused on
the material plane issues of interest to Pagans
as leaders, scholars, activists, and citizens.
Witchvox displays just about any news story covering Paganism; instead of duplicating that resource, we collect stories, links, and other resources which can be used to see trends, establish precedents, and provide examples of what others can do.
This 'zine is created by an all volunteer staff.
We are in the midst of transforming all our
pages into Dreamweaver and creating a new
look, better navigation, and a search engine
for our site. Until donations or advertising revenues make it possible for us to purchase
link-checking software, we can only regret
that many of our links are out of date.
Volunteer reporters, assistant editors, proofreaders, and linkcheckers are invited to contact us. Meanwhile, everyone, please be patient with the Elves.
It's the Pagan thing to do!
Christa Landon, ed.
