The Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Festival is an annual event that celebrates and promotes awareness of pagan and earth-based spiritualities in the West Michigan area. The festival provides a space for individuals to gather, connect, and learn about different pagan traditions and practices. Throughout the day, attendees can participate in workshops, rituals, and discussions that cover a variety of topics related to paganism, including deity work, spellcraft, divination, and herbalism. These educational opportunities allow individuals to deepen their understanding of pagan beliefs and practices, and to explore new areas of interest within the pagan community. In addition to educational activities, the festival also features a marketplace where vendors sell a variety of pagan-themed products, such as jewelry, art, and books. This provides a unique opportunity for attendees to support local artisans and businesses while also finding items that reflect their personal spiritual beliefs.
The Last Witch by M.J. Lawrie
A key to winning a war that has raged for five-hundred years between those who can use magic, and hunters, who dedicate their entire existence to killing anyone with magic in their blood. I ll never forget this book, and without giving away spoilers, without diving into the complex Rubik s cube of the plot in depth, I can t say too much more.
This provides a unique opportunity for attendees to support local artisans and businesses while also finding items that reflect their personal spiritual beliefs. One of the main highlights of the Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Festival is the public ritual that takes place towards the end of the day. This ritual is led by a group of experienced pagan practitioners and is designed to honor and celebrate the natural world, as well as to bring together the community in a shared spiritual experience.

How did the Wicked Witches of the Midwest come about? One day I sat down and wondered what would happen if I turned my mother and her two sisters into witches. That was easy enough -- and I couldn't stop laughing when I envisioned it -- so I added two cousins to the mix and . voila.
People ask me if AuntTillie is based on a real person. She's actually a mixture of a few people. I based her on my great-aunt's looks (and one or two traits) and then gave her a few of my great-grandmother's personality ticks and then I removed her filter and she came to fruition.
The Wicked Witches of the Midwest world is divided into three parts:
1. The regular mysteries. I write two mysteries a year. They generally hit about six months apart.
2. The short mysteries. I write five 27,000-word short mysteries from the point-of-view of different characters. Some of these are set in the present and some are set in the past. For those who don't like shorts, I'm sorry. Complaining about the length of the shorts doesn't mean you'll get more mystery installments. It just means those who like the shorts won't get to read them. I can't fit more full books into my writing schedule.
3. The fantasies. I'm a huge fantasy fan and I know not everyone likes them. I think they offer a nice addition to the world, though, and the fantasies are all about character growth. The fantasies are about 60,000 words (so a short novel) and they wrap up with the sixth entry, Close Encounters of the Witchy Kind. If you don't like fantasies then these probably aren't for you.

Reviews for "Exploring the Mysteries of the Pagan Path: Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Festival Offers Insight"
1. Emily - 1/5
I was really disappointed with the Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Festival. I was expecting a celebration of pagan beliefs, traditions, and rituals, but instead, it felt like a disorganized mess. The event lacked a clear schedule or any structure, and there were no unique activities or workshops that I could engage in. It seemed like the organizers just threw everything together without much thought or planning. Overall, I left feeling underwhelmed and unsatisfied with the entire experience.
2. John - 2/5
I attended the Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Festival with high expectations, but unfortunately, it didn't meet them. The festival felt more like a flea market than a celebration of pagan culture. The vendors were mainly selling generic trinkets and products that you could find at any other street fair. There was a lack of diversity in the vendors, with very few representing different pagan traditions. The overall atmosphere was also quite chaotic, with loud music and people wandering aimlessly. I was hoping for a more immersive and educational experience, but instead, I left feeling like I wasted my time.
3. Sarah - 2/5
The Grand Rapids Pagan Pride Festival was quite underwhelming. The event lacked a sense of community and connection that I was hoping for. It seemed like there was more focus on selling merchandise and promoting businesses rather than fostering a genuine pagan experience. I also found the event to be overcrowded, making it challenging to fully enjoy any of the activities or workshops. The lack of organization and coordination meant that I missed out on some of the events I had been looking forward to. Overall, I left feeling disappointed with the festival and wouldn't attend again in the future.
