Register here for the live cast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not a Pagan teacher, Witchcraft influencer, or anything like that. Usually i see myself as the person approaching a panelist at an American Academy of Religion session, saying, “Would you consider turning your paper into an article for The Pomegrana<\/a>te<\/em>?” Kind of a behind-the scenes person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I figure I will talk about the state of Pagan studies in academia, about Pagan history in the Anglosphere, and whatever other skeletons I can drag out of the closet. (Holli Emore, Cherry Hill’s executive director, is interested in a 1980 case where a Wiccan leader was charged with murder after a Halloween shooting in the Texas Panhandle.<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did my term as co-chair of the Contemporary Pagan Studies unit,<\/a> but under the AAR system (which is wise), you get five years, and then it is someone else’s turn, so that they can get the professional exposure, make connections, and bring in fresh ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So this interview will be live-cast on Zoom but later put on up on the Cherry Hill site to watch for free, along with others, such as these Pagan scholars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graham Harvey, <\/a>who got us all saying “contemporary Pagan” instead of “Neopagan” and whose book on animism is becoming ciassic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caroline Tully,<\/a> prolific Australian scholar, Pagan organizer, and associate editor of The Pomegranate. <\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Giovanna Parmigiani,<\/a> author of a new book on southern Italian Pagans that I will be discussing more soon.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are more!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
