The Wild Hunt News<p>We are living in an age of rupture. In the midst of this instability, people are reaching—not for quick fixes, but for something enduring. Something rooted. For a growing number, Paganism, polytheism, and Heathenry offer exactly that.</p><p><a href="https://wildhunt.org/2025/06/rooted-in-the-storm-why-pagan-paths-matter-more-than-ever.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wildhunt.org/2025/06/rooted-in</span><span class="invisible">-the-storm-why-pagan-paths-matter-more-than-ever.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/heathen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>heathen</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/towertime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>towertime</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>witchcraft</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/tradition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>tradition</span></a></p>
MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>I almost passed over this article because it was another “we must have community moving forward ... etc. etc.” So many of these blogs are out and most are so vague as to not be helpful but this one is excellent. She actually goes there with being intolerant of true red flags to keep the community groups healthy and moving forward. She also points out that by letting humans be human, you stand a chance at learning to cooperate with people you may not personally like. Understand the difference between someone you don’t like and someone who is actually a threat. Those are not the same thing.&nbsp;Some really relevant points to consider and solid advice. Now this is specific to the pagan community but it works for other kinds of community work in mutual aid, disaster prep, etc. “Guidelines for Community Engagement” by Irene Glasse. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Prepping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GetPrepared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GetPrepared</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TowerTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TowerTime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheStorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TheStorm</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Community</span></a></p><p><a href="https://glassewitchcottage.com/2024/11/18/joining-the-circle/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">glassewitchcottage.com/2024/11</span><span class="invisible">/18/joining-the-circle/</span></a></p>
MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>Do not comply in advance.

MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>The witchy author Byron Ballard, that I greatly admire, had some advice for these troubled times we live in that she calls Tower Time (from the tarot card) and I think along those same lines. Her advice and my take on what is meant are as follows:</p><p>1- Cultivate Joy. I take this to mean finding the beauty and loveliness in the small things. Smell your yard at dusk as the heat of the day rises and the green things give off fragrance. Go for joy rides whenever presented with them. Accept every invitation to be with your friends and family. Eat the delicious food and share it with others. Live in the present, take care and enjoyment in each task whether it is doing dishes or cleaning your altar. We live on a magical ball spinning in space with everything we need right here. </p><p>2- Mask Up and Protect yourself. This can mean many different things from wearing a medical mask in a pandemic to creating a mask to hide the parts of yourself that might make you in danger in an increasingly hostile world. Go “grey man” in situations where your identity could create danger. Be aware of your demographic and how others, either in power or not, might react to you. Keep yourself and your circle safe. Choose your battles wisely. Live to fight another day. </p><p>3- Remember that life goes on regardless. It is important to stay balanced and calm, to understand that doomerism is a slippery slope that can drag you down and prevent you from living to the fullest. This planet will go on, maybe in a different form, but it will persist. Humans are the most adaptable of creatures. We have endured over the eons in conditions few of us could even imagine in our modern age, but we did endure. We will endure the challenges put before us right now. Maybe we won’t all get out unscathed, but enough will. Life will go on, lessons will be learned, babies will be born and there will be future generations. Educate yourself to be one of those that make it. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TowerTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TowerTime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GetPrepared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GetPrepared</span></a></p>
MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>The world seems to be made up of the following people as we face the coming dark times: </p><p>the very rich who think they are rich enough to be shielded from the effects of climate disaster and war. They don't understand that their survival systems will depend on servants and serfs to keep the systems running and that in a lawless society where they are greatly outnumbered, their time will be short; </p><p>other very rich people that think they will survive on an uninhabitable planet with technology that they didn't create that they do not understand. Their time will be short; </p><p>people that think if they have enough guns they will simply take what they need from others that they perceive as weaker. Their time will be very short;</p><p>those that feel helpless and despairing and do nothing whatsoever to survive. Their time will be very short; </p><p>those that have a vague idea of what is going on but have faith that someone out there will fix everything and it will probably be ok. Their time will be very short;</p><p>those that are utterly clueless and have no idea what is going on. Their time will be very short; </p><p>those that think they are smart enough and resourceful enough to survive on their wits and brute strength. Their time here will depend on how prepared they are for long term hardship and luck; </p><p>those that are fully aware of the peril the world faces and know that the ones that will be saved will depend on location and luck, preparedness and luck, strength in numbers and luck. Their time may or may not be short, depending on luck; </p><p>those with the greatest chance of survival, in my opinion, are those that are adaptable, resilient, willing and able to survive with sudden loss of tech, convenience, comfort and ease. They will learn to eat what's available, live with pain and illness, fear and death without succumbing to despair. They will build underground or with stone and earth, they will stop consuming more than they need for absolute survival, they will work all day long for their shelter, food, water and safety, they will look after each other without hesitation. They will guard the knowledge of the world. And they will need a lot of luck. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateDisaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateDisaster</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>War</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Preparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Preparedness</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>doom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TowerTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TowerTime</span></a></p>
MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>The Tower is falling fairly fast now. We are all traumatized by the news, social media, the images coming out of places torn apart by war, fires, floods, earthquakes and hurricanes. Some of those places are very close to us, some far away. <br>But it truly is a waste of time to either fret endlessly and do nothing, or pretend all is fine and carry on making foolish plans that continue to consume resources and contribute to this collapsing world. <br>I plan on hunkering down for at least the foreseeable future. Keep track of my community, check in with friends often and put into place all the systems that I can to keep my family safe from all the probable dangers in my area. I will continue to fortify this space we call home, make it as safe and supportive as possible. Raise the littles with strength, common sense and knowledge. Learn and keep learning new skills, crafts, and techniques. <br>And most of all- keep hope alive. Offer libations. Dust the altar. Turn the Wheel. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TowerTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TowerTime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Prepping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GetPrepared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GetPrepared</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TurnTheWheel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TurnTheWheel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Homesteading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homesteading</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeWeather</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/War" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>War</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Samhain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Samhain</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ancestors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ancestors</span></a></p>

MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>I woke early this morning, before dawn with the noise of the world pressing in on me. The endless chatter and dull roar of anxiety, despair, anger, and fear. I threw up wards and shielded as it was too much. Time to focus on my own small world. It is time to take care now, of ourselves, our rl friends and family. Clean the house, dust the altar, water the plants. Breath deeply of the west winds. Watch as the Wheel turns. Find the courage because this is Tower Time. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TowerTime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TowerTime</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Crisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Climate</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pagan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Witchcraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Witchcraft</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>war</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>resist</span></a></p>
