Maxine Saunders defends Christian Day again The witch world has turned in on itself again, and Maxine Saunders, Queen of the Witches, has had quite enough of it.  Speaking about the endless squabbling that has gripped parts of the craft community, Saunders tore into those she sees as petty, power-hungry busybodies. “Say to those people who are distracted from the work by lots of infighting and bickering. Oh, have I got opinions on that now,” she said, clearly exasperated.  “There’s so much viciousness in the craft, judgmental nastiness. They forget themselves. Somebody picks on someone who’s been a bad boy, and then others pile in instead of just asking, ‘Are you bad?’” Saunders went on to describe the craft’s current state as “vicious,” filled with self-appointed judges who “have no power in their own circle and nothing better to do.” She insisted that the backbiting should stop, calling it “unnecessary” and “nobody’s business.” The Queen of the Witches then turned ...

Evangelicals forgot how badly witch hate worked for them in Salam last time The Pagan Solidarity Alliance has torched Salem law enforcement for sitting on their hands. At the same time, a pack of Bible-thumping zealots went on a three-day crusade against witches, spiritual shops and ancestral altars. Things kicked off on 26 October when the evangelical mob stormed the Psychic Fair and Witches’ Market, screaming abuse like it was a Sunday hobby.

They blocked doors, lobbed fluids about, and shouted every slur in their hymn book at shop owners and passersby. Local police, apparently on a three-day tea break, handed out nothing but warnings. Not a single arrest. Not a single charge. The Pagan Solidarity Alliance rightly poi...

A self-styled “Archon Basilius” of the Canadian-based Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Martin Thibeault , has been showing off to his Facebook followers with what look like front-cover triumphs on the world’s most prominent business magazines. There’s just one tiny hiccup: the "covers" are adverts. Thibeault proudly posted an image of himself on the cover of Forbes Australia , calling it “by far my greatest accomplishment.” Which is quite a statement from a man who “crossed the abyss” in his magical order. A quick look at his personal website reveals 14 magazine covers allegedly featuring him as one of the “top disruptors of the blockchain industry.” It all looks glossy, billionaire, and “please believe I’m a super entrepreneur.” So, we dug further. The articles attached to those flashy covers all tell the same heartwarming tale: Thibeault used to be a shy carpenter (yes, like Jesus), failed twice in brick-and-mortar businesses, but somehow still became the masterm...
