New book on the way! "The Heathen Way: Foundations of Inclusive Norse Practice" is coming in July of 27 with Llewellyn Worldwide. I'm so stoked! Isn't the cover beautiful? 😍 #HeathenSky #PaganSky

The text reads "The Heathen Way" in large letters at the top. A subtitle reads "Foundations of Inclusive Norse Practice" midway down the cover. Author names at the bottom are listed "Irene Glasse and Ash Glasse"

The bottom of the graphic reads "coming in July of 2027"

New podcast interview with Rebecca of Pagan Spirit Voices. This one talks a lot about Heathenry - some of the challenges in the movement, how community building and Heathenry are interlinked, gender and social roles in historical Heathenry, and more. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky

Last month, Ash and I were the featured presenters at Pagan Spirit Gathering, one of the oldest Pagan festivals in the United States. It was an absolutely wonderful experience for us - we had such a great time. On the morning of the last day, right before closing ritual, we sat down with Rebecca of the Pagan Spirit Voices podcast for a chat. This one talks a lot about Heathenry - some of the challenges in the movement, how community building and Heathenry are interlinked, gender and social roles in historical Heathenry, and more. It's a quick listen - just 25 minutes. Here's the link: https://tinyurl.com/53uu5edb

I recently sat down with Laylla and Chelle of the Back on the Broomstick podcast for a fun, wide-ranging conversation that covered a ton of ground: Heathenry, Pagan festivals, Unitarian Universalism, community building, group rituals, and my really big feelings about being a Pagan veteran right now. The episode is titled “Her Heathen Heart,” and is available on all your favorite streaming platforms. Grab a cup of something tasty and settle in!

Join me 6/5 at 7 PM Eastern for one of my favorite workshops. It's all about how to successfully blow up and reset your life. It will be recorded if you can't make the stream. Register here: events.humanitix.com/nuke-it-from... #WitchSky #PaganSky

Teaching this week, and this is one of my favorites. Join me Friday night at 7 PM Eastern for a livestream workshop on how to blow your life up successfully.

Nuke it from Orbit: Entropy, Destruction, and Rebirth of the Sacred Self

As our beloved Mother Earth lives, grows, decays and sleeps only to be born again in the spring, so too do people pass through different lives during the course of their incarnation here. We grow and change, and sometimes the lives that we built for ourselves no longer fit. Sometimes the lives we built for ourselves are suddenly taken away from us. Bring yourself back into right relationship with your true nature, values and aspirations with this workshop. Learn techniques for planning your next phase, preparing for major life sculpting, releasing the broken pieces that no longer serve (or are no longer available to you), and beginning your next Hero’s Journey.

This workshop will be recorded for folks who can’t make the Zoom in person, and sent out for download after the workshop concludes. The workshop fee is $15. Sliding scale ticket options of $5 and $10 are available for folks who face financial obstacles to attending the workshop. Register here: https://events.humanitix.com/nuke-it-from-orbit

You know, I don't mind most of the long-term-witchcraft side effects.

So many good practitioners and thinkers of all kinds are offering excellent perspectives on the hellscape around us. On how to resist. On how to fight back. On how to turn our magick, our minds, and our wills to protecting the most vulnerable, to sending the aggressors packing... (1)

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.
