Yes, I'm Pagan. No, I'm not Wiccan.

No, not every pagan is Wiccan. I'm not Wiccan, for instance, though some people believe I am because I've mentioned I'm pagan. Paganism encompasses many paths.

I'm a pagan and a witch who follows a naturalistic path. You may also hear 'Humanistic Pagan' in place of 'Naturalistic Pagan' at times.

Not sure what that is? Here is a link with more explanation:

Witches, vampires and daemons doing yoga together? Really?!

I’m reading A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness. I’m enjoying the story and the writing, but when I got to the part about witches, vampires and daemons doing yoga together…well, I had a hard time getting past that.

Folks, can we remember that vampires and daemons are not supposed to be mundane beings doing mundane things? I long for the days when vampires and daemons were terrifying (and rightfully so). I want magick and mystery when it comes to supernatural beings, not banality and the commonplace.

I like the author’s writing and I will finish the book and begin the next one…but a yoga session with witches, vampires and daemons? I can’t go for that. As Paul said, “Let’s take something extraordinary and terrifying and make it mundane (insert sarcasm here).” Exactly. Just…let’s not, okay? Please?
