Welcome Back & Blessed Solstice!
By Friday (formerly Volute/A. Minahan) Copyright © 2012 PaganPath.com
PaganPath has been reborn! As of Yule 2011 (21 Dec @ 17:00 UT) the site re-opened with all of the software updated and stabilized. Much like a new property, the gardens are laid out and the house has been built.
For the next few weeks, all of the archived materials from every previous incarnation of PaganPath.com, including the original 1996 "Volute's Witchy Site" will be populating all the areas of the site. This is very much like putting in furniture, planting the garden, and putting the books back on the shelves!
After great personal trials, the site owner and the site itself have come through a rough trail and found better footing on the path again. Please be patient as the thousands of articles, online books, academy, and forum areas are once again restored. Be sure to empty your cache as every few hours the site will have considerable additions, new features and options.
As an opening to this new life, I offer the following blessing for the site, and for You!
Thank you for being you.
Thank you for helping me to learn more than I could ever teach.
Thank you for letting me know you were still around,
even while I remained silent and grieving.
May you receive threefold blessing.
May your year be filled with balance and harmony.
May every day hold many moments of awe and wonder.
May happiness sneak into every nook and cranny when least expected.
May you remain strong, wise, daring, and open minded.
Brightest Blessings to You!
Please Note: You may know A. Minahan, the Owner/Administrator of PaganPath.com as "Volute", however for the first time in over 14 years it is time for me to choose a new username and pen name. Oddly enough, I've gone with "Friday" as it was the day of the week I was born and seems to fit right for a variety of reasons.
Alumni Members please note:
Because this is a completely rebuilt PaganPath, you will need to register again for the site. Previous Members please note that you will not need to pay Membership Dues again and there will be a special way for you to regain access to the Academy very soon. Go ahead and register for this new PaganPath under the "Free Membership" and Keep an eye on this page for updates on how to access the paid areas such as the online courses and classes in the Academy.

Meditation can be your best teacher, but sitting in a knot half asleep sucks. Try guided visualizations to refresh your energy, make up your own. This may be more fulfilling than that OM chanting.

Remember when you first started down your Witchy path? If you've become disillusioned because you've lost one too many battles in the anti-defamation and misinformation league, remember the enthusiasm you once had. Getting in touch with your original fiery spirit may keep motivated to change misconceptions about the Craft. With the...

In Part I we talked about the self defeating programming that takes power from within you and gives it to things outside of yourself.
