he following links represent
what we feel to be among the best sites on Witchcraft, Salem, and
other related subjects.
Witchcraft
Salem Tarot
Our sister site explores the magick of Tarot from the Salem Witches’ perspective. Explore Tarot history, buy a deck, and even book a tarot reading with a Salem Witch.
Psychics for Hire
Christian's site that features live psychic phone readings by real psychic clairvoyants, mediums, and tarot readers, daily horoscopes, and free online Tarot readings!
The
Witches Voice
Fritz and Wren Walker are, in our opinion, among the greatest freedom
fighters that the pagan movement has ever seen. They maintain one of the
most informative sites on the Internet, and have been duly
recognized for it. If you want to learn more about Witchcraft, and get
the latest news on the struggle for Witches' freedom, this is the place
to start. We also hope that more Witches follow their lead in bringing
such strong content to the web.
Earthspirit
Online
EarthSpirit is a non-profit organization providing services to a nationwide
network of Pagans and others following an Earth-centered spiritual path.
Based in the Boston area, their membership extends across the United States,
and also to several other countries. The Earthspirit Community sponsors
some of the finest public circles and festivals we have ever attended,
and their site is a fantastic resource for pagans. For those familiar
with the Pagan music group, MotherTongue, the lyrics for all their songs
can be found at this site as well.
The World of Z. Budapest
Celebrated author of The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries, Grandmother Moon (one of Christian's all-time favorite books), The Grandmother of Time, and The Goddess in the Office (and several more!), Z Budapest has been a pioneer of the Women's spirituality movement from its inception. Z made international news in 1975 for challenging a law against Tarot card readers, and has been a vanguard of the Craft ever since. Her site is an exploration of her personal history, writings, community work, appearances and events, and, of course, her Tarot readings. Z. Budapest remains one of the coolest Witches out there, and we recommend her site highly.
