Essays & Articles

Picture
For a long time, Pagan practices were not written down, but passed through oral tradition.  Today the Pagan community has many books and magazines full of ideas and information.  The web, too, is filled with interesting essays and articles.  These include everything from surveys of a specific culture's religion to instructions for a particular technique.  Because the quality varies, it's a good idea to explore widely and consume mindfully.

This section contains a variety of articles and essays on Pagan topics.  Most of the items are reprints of things that Elizabeth Barrette wrote for other venues, gathered here for convenient reference.
