Standing at the Gates of June: The Magic of the Threshold

By Katrina Rasbold

Tomorrow night, as the sun dips below the horizon, we bid farewell to May. We stand precisely at the threshold of June, a cross-quarter transition that carries a distinct, powerful shift in the energetic landscape.

If May was the month of raw desire, frantic planting, and the ecstatic, chaotic growth of Beltane, June is the month of illumination. We are moving out of the shadows of the soil and stepping directly into the full, unyielding light of the sun. The time for hiding, planning, and whispering in the dark is over. The season of visibility has arrived. Continue reading Standing at the Gates of June: The Magic of the Threshold

The Mid-Spring Pause: Cultivating the Garden of the Soul

By Katrina Rasbold

There is a brief, magical window of time in late May where the entire earth seems to take a collective breath. The frantic energy of early spring—the clearing of brush, the planting of seeds, and the ecstatic dancing of Beltane—has passed. The frantic heat of the Summer Solstice is not quite here yet.

Right now, we are in the thick of the growing season.

For many modern Pagans, this can actually be a difficult transition. Our community thrives on beginnings and endings; we love the clean slate of Samhain, the crisp hope of Ostara, and the bright fires of Beltane. But what do we do when the initial excitement wears off and the daily work of maintenance begins? Continue reading The Mid-Spring Pause: Cultivating the Garden of the Soul

The Un-Authorized Lexicon: An Unofficial Guide to Pagan Parlance

By Katrina Rasbold

In the early days of Neopaganism, we learned a vital lesson: if you can’t laugh at your own ritual bloopers, the Gods certainly will. Over the last several decades, the Pagan movement developed a vocabulary so dense it could sink a Viking longship. In today’s Green Egg Blog, I step out of the circle and share the Inner Court, Super Secret Squirrel definitions of some of the most common magical terms.

Welcome to the Alternate Lexicon of Magical Practice. Here is what those fancy terms actually mean when the mead starts flowing and the incense gets a bit too thick. But before we get into that, I want to tell you a story. Continue reading The Un-Authorized Lexicon: An Unofficial Guide to Pagan Parlance

Two Lights, One Dawn: Eugene’s Historic Yule Celebration

By Echo Sherman

This winter, Eugene is about to witness something rare, radiant, and wonderfully unexpected: a Yule celebration that unites faiths, communities, and hearts in one shared evening of ritual, music, and care.

On December 21st, 2025, the First Christian Church will open its doors at 5:00 PM for a historic event: an interfaith solstice service where the Christian tradition of the Son meets the Pagan celebration of the returning light. For those who love the warmth of ceremony, the flicker of candles, and the poetry of ritual, this is a moment you won’t want to miss.

Paganism and Church

By Cat Gina Cole

How did Pagans ever become a church? I thought Pagans were anti-church? These and other similar questions flood social media these days. The word “church” has become something of a swear word in our time. It is currently a word that represents control, abuse of power, corruption, telling people how to live, what to believe, and being “Our way or the highway” about every aspect of a person’s life. There is a big resistance to that now, not just in the Pagan communities but in general and they are not wrong. Christian churches do have that history to them; however, it made me wonder about the origins of the word “church” and its original meaning. Continue reading Paganism and Church

By Katrina Rasbold

During this time of Spring Cleaning and the purging, it is important not to overlook home cleaning of a different kind. Just as we track in dirt on our shoes and hands, so do we bring in psychic debris from our ventures into the outside world.
