The longest day of the year has reached its zenith, and the solar wheel begins its slow, magnificent turn toward the harvest. To honor this potent seasonal threshold, we just dropped the highly anticipated Summer 2026 issue of Green Egg Magazine (Vol. LVIII, No. 194)! Our latest edition dives straight…

This weekend, we officially cross the threshold of Midsummer and move beyond the longest day of the year. The Summer Solstice brings an incredible rush of solar energy—it is a season of peak vitality, growth, and outward action. But there is a hidden trap to this high-octane season.  To read…

Y’all, we need to talk about the strange, slow-motion magic trick our bodies perform somewhere after the youth-obsessed world stops checking us out. If you have ever looked down at your hands or caught your reflection and thought, “Who authorized this upholstery?” you are not alone. There comes a point where your…

Modern Pagans love a clean calendar. We dutifully mark our planners for May 1st, June 21st, or October 31st, preparing our rituals and gathering our supplies to match the rigid grid of the standard solar year. We stress over perfect timing, worrying that if we miss the exact hour of…

There is a reason our work is anchored under the name Crossroads Occult. In almost every magical tradition across the globe—from European folk magic to African Diaspora traditions like Hoodoo and Conjure—the crossroads is the ultimate site of power. To read the full article, go to the Crossroads Newsletter at this…

One of the greatest curses and greatest blessings of the catastrophic house fire of 2021 is that all of my clothes burned. This was a curse because I really needed some damned undies but a blessing because all of my clothes burned… including the bins and bins of skinny clothes in the sheds…

On paper, bureaucracy looks sterile. It moves in the quiet rustle of memos, the dry language of administrative updates, and the clinical scrubbing of data fields. But earlier this week, a pencil stroke at the Pentagon sent a shockwave through the global Pagan community. The U.S. Department of Defense officially…

We often hear about the immense power of New Moon intentions and Full Moon releases. It is incredibly easy to build up massive momentum during those celestial peaks, lighting your fixed candles, hanging your protective barriers, and setting your goals. But what happens during the quiet, liminal weeks in between?…

A few days ago, a random thought crossed my mind, the kind that usually leads to a pleasant trip down memory lane. I realized I hadn’t heard from my friend Charlene in a while. We had been friends since the third grade, one of three girls who I could genuinely…

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…

Lately, the collective energy feels undeniably heavy. Between rising everyday expenses, fluctuating costs at the pump, and the general economic strain, many of us feel a tightening belt spiritually, emotionally, and financially. When external pressures mount, it is easy to fall into a state of spiritual stagnation or hyper-vigilance. That…

I had a deeply unsettling experience in my bathroom this morning. I walked up to the sink, splashed some water on my face, looked up into the mirror, and honestly wondered who let the nice, silver-haired lady into my house. Given the level of supernatural woo woo that is active…

It starts innocently enough. You are sitting on your porch, sipping your morning coffee, when a glossy, jet-black crow lands on the railing. It tilts its head, fixes you with a bead-like eye, and lets out a solitary, booming “CAW!” – the crow sound “caw,” not the Church of All Worlds “CAW”. A…

In the traditions of Hoodoo and conjure, a Mojo Bag—also known as a gris-gris—is far more than a collection of loose herbs and curios tied up in cloth. When properly prepared, a Mojo bag is considered a living spiritual entity and valuable magical ally in daily life. It is a portable spell customized…

When a slender, athletic person hears the word “camping,” they get a misty look in their eyes. They start vibrating at a frequency only detectable by hiking boots and high-end granola. To them, camping is a spiritual return to the earth, a chance to “unplug” and “recharge” while sleeping on…

I feel hopeful today because of a hard truth I am finally seeing clearly: we are learning the cost of silence. I’ve been reflecting on a line from Philippa Gregory’s Boleyn Traitor, a novel about Jane Boleyn. As she nears the end of her life, Jane realizes that Katherine Howard is destined…

We often view our living spaces as mere structures of wood, brick, and mortar. We clean them, we decorate them, and we protect them. But in many traditional practices, the home is more than a shelter—it is a living, breathing entity. Your home is a silent partner in your magical work, acting…

There is a distinct moment every morning, somewhere between the first screaming demand of my bladder – I swear, it is like a spoiled toddler – and the first creak of my ankles, where I lie perfectly still and perform a full-system diagnostic. I’m like a NASA engineer checking a…

In the half-century since Green Egg first began chronicling the Awakening of Gaia, our community has moved from the shadowy fringes of the “Occult” section to the glittering center of the global marquee. In 2026, you can’t swing a ritual cord without hitting a streaming service featuring a teenage necromancer, a kitchen…

Two weeks ago, I will admit that I gave into ego. A friend of mine suggested that my prices for card readings were too low and not in keeping with the current market. I reflected on the fact that we have not raised any of our prices on the website…
