Witchology Magazine: Recovering the Older Traditions of Goddess and Nature Worship

September 22, 2024
I am thrilled to share that my article "Recover the Older Traditions of Goddess and Nature Worship" has been published in the Autumn 2024 Edition of Witchology Magazine.
Established in 2018, Witchology Magazine is an award-winning quarterly publication dedicated to the creation and curation of quality, educational, and informative occult content. Witchology focuses on uplifting marginalized voices and shining a spotlight on the latest trends in witch-created art, music, books, tarot decks, and small businesses.
The Autumn 2024 Edition is the Land Issue
Welcome to the Land issue, Autumn 2024! The third issue of the year marks our favourite transitional time of year, the autumn equinox, coming up next week. We are so ready to honour the tipping point that the equinox brings before the wind down towards the winter solstice! The season, we have been busy curating an issue for you that explores how we can work with and honour the land.
Each piece in this issue provides a different aspect of working with the land, from connecting with land spirits, to the ethics of collecting graveyard dirt. We can’t wait for you to delve into the following pages and emerge with new thoughts or ideas to take forward into your own practice.
With the usual cherry on top, we have an intriguingly folkloric interview with Green Lung from our Music Editor, Emma Cownley!
We are so ready to cosy up and welcome in the drawing in of the nights, and we hope you will join us with a lovely cup of tea.
My article discusses the older traditions of worship, the historical temples of Astarte, the temple of Mother Nature and a commercialized world, and methods for recovering the temples of the goddesses of old. The magazine also features a brief bio for me:
Kate Jade is the founder of Astarte's Temple, a pagan platform that helps spiritual practitioners return to older esoteric wisdom traditions. As a mystic, medium, and magickal author, Kate spends her time writing, crafting, and educating others on the metaphysical. She has been researching and studying Astarte since 2011 and recently published a book, The Mother of the Gods, to share her findings with others. You can learn more about Kate Jade and Astarte's Temple at astartestemple.com.

In a society where everything that was once considered good is labeled as "evil," the impact on individuals who are naturally drawn to healing, the earth, mother nature, homeopathic remedies, and esoteric wisdom can be profound. This shift in societal perception not only challenges their beliefs and values but also undermines their ability to contribute […]
Samhain (a Gaelic word pronounced “sow-win”) was first observed by Celtic Pagans. Samhain marked the Celtic New Year, the end of summer, and the end of the harvest season. It also signaled the beginning of winter, which is associated with death and the dark half of the wheel of the year. On Samhain, the Celts believed […]

I’ve been there…and while modern religion has a ton of flaws and the way it came into existence is riddled with tragedy and deception, we still carry SO MUCH baggage from the indoctrination even though we can clearly see the issues (and have walked away or are in the process of doing so). So, let’s […]
