There is a wealth of lore, both magical and practical, that is in danger of being lost.
With this is mind, I have started the Pagan Guild of Ancient Arts.
This will be a collection of information regarding various arts from weaving to swordsmithing. I am starting with online work, which will hopefully eventually lead to practical demonstrations and exhibits.
Please check back as I solidify the structures, aims and lists of fellow guild-members. Separate guilds will have guild-leaders who are appropriately skilled, with all work non-gender specific. Practical non-Pagan craft information will be supplied as well as magical and mythical aspects, websites and book lists. I will try and post all information in both English and French when it’s available.
A special thanks to Ethos organizers and attendees, since this idea formed while sitting a table of wonderful conversations!
