This started out as a page with links to various online pagan newsletters, but many of them have undergone considerable change since then. I've finally decided, thanks to an article I wrote for Llewellyn this year, to include sites that don't necessarily have a free online newsletter. Things are arranged according to whether or not they are free, offer articles online, or just offer subscribing information. Have fun browsing!
The Candle and The Cauldron is wonderful. Most of the stuff is beginner oriented, but I suspect many of us who've been around awhile can gain new information and insights from this site as well. Definitly worth checking out!
Cauldrons and Broomsticks seems to be the ezine that will not die. After Pandora could no longer maintain it, an amazing group of folks took over and it seems to just keep improving.
Journal of Eclectic Magic puts up thoughful and thought-provoking articles that cover the whole gamut of magic and paganism.
The Llewellyn Journal is published online - free- by Llewellyn Publishing. Their aiming for a new indepth article every week on one of the variety of topics that they publish books on. Check it out, as there already seems to be some interesting stuff there.
MerryBegot is aimed at pagan parents who homeschool their children. It's still in the beginning stages, but I think that given a chance this magazine can really grow into something.
The Monthly Aspectarian is more of a New Age magazine, than a pagan one, but there's interesting stuff in here.
The Pellet, published by Athens Area CUUPs, is also available online. I think it's a great little newsletter, but then again, I'm totally biased about this one.
The Pomegranate has got to be a first: a scholarly, referred pagan journal. Well researched and well written articles carry the day here.
Widdershins is out of the Seattle area. Lots of information of going's on in that part of the world. They have some interesting interviews and articles as well.
The Crow's Calling is, well, umm, you need to check out this small newsletter for yourself.
Cup of Wonder offers their book reviews online in full.
Goat and Candle is a pagan newsletter published in Indiana. (We really are everywhere!) The website offers past articles and columns as well as other interesting stuffs and pagan resources.
PagaNet News is free if you pick it up at one of their distributors. A list is available at their website, as well as subscription information and some of the current issue's content. I find some of it interesting, but not enough of what's offered at their website catches my attention enough to subscribe. Others of you will probably feel different.
PanGaia is the sister publication of SageWoman, but is aimed at everyone in the pagan community, not just the women. It used to be The Green Man.
Reclaiming Quarterly is published by Reclaiming, out of San Francisco. It's very political and activist-oriented, but I'm still thinking of subscribing. The articles draw you in and make you want to do something, even if you aren't an activist - which I'm not...yet. Look at the website and the articles posted online before making up your mind on this one.
SageWoman, one of the most widely sold pagan publications in the United States. Topical issues dealing with Goddess-centered women's spirituality. I like several of their columns and always find something to think about and apply to my own life.
The Tor Stone exists only in .pdf format, but is by subscription only. There's a sample issue available at their website. This is published by the Sisterhood of Avalon, to which I think I once belonged...Be that as it may, the magazine is devoted entired to things Avalon.
White
Dragon comes out of the UK so look for lots of information on what's
happening in that part of the world. I like it because it gives a different
perspective. Ok, I love this magazine because it's so British and it's
very, very good.
New Moon Rising. Ok, he does offer a few sample articles online, but considering the archives this magazine has, he's stingy. Trust me on this. The publisher knows folks would like access to those articles by Scott Cunningham and other noted writers that are in the archives. That's why he charges $30 a year, or a current subscription, to access them. I don't have a problem with folks earning a living, but it bugs me when it looks like all they want to do is see how much money you're willing to shell out for information.
