Looking for something to do this Saturday? Look no further!

My favorite kitchen witch, Dawn Hunt, is back! After her wonderful winter Shepherd’s Pie I was eager to have her address spring and here it is, Ostara Spinach Quiche. Make it for your Ostara celebrations and/or bring it to an Easter brunch. Aw heck, it looks so simple and tasty, make it whenever you want!

Author Deborah Blake gives us her rundown on this year’s Pantheacon, the largest indoor gathering of Pagans/Witches/Wiccans and assorted Heathens in the United States.

Kerr Cuhulain, Grand Master and founder of the Order of Scáthach, and author of numerous books including “Law Enforcement Guide to Wicca” and “Modern Knighthood”, shares six tips on how you too can start becoming a steward of the earth.

Readers may remember that back in October I went to the wonderful Celebrate Samhain event in Peterborough, NH. While there I caught the end of Dawn Hunt’s presentation “Kitchen Witch Workshop”, and regretted not being there from the beginning. However, I started pondering what, if anything, I wanted to do to acknowledge the approaching Yule and Christmas season. Last year the totally awesome Alice Diehl wrote about holiday horror films, but sadly, I don’t think that niche has expanded enough in the passing year to address the subject matter again. Then I remembered Dawn Hunt, and the fact that I love food, and thus my cunning plan of obtaining a seasonal article and a new recipe came to fruition!

On Saturday October 23, 2010 I woke up at 5:45AM, hurriedly got dressed, got some breakfast, and by 7AM Jim and I were on the road to Peterborough, NH. What on earth could be so important as to cause me to wake up 5:45AM on a Saturday? Celebrate Samhain!
