Pagan News Beagle: Watery Wednesday, January 27
We take a look at folk magic in Pennsylvania. Patheos gathers a list of some of the most important tools for Vodou. And Gods & Radicals takes a look at Paganism's kinship to the occult. It's Watery Wednesday, our weekly segment on news about the Pagan community. All this and more for the Pagan News Beagle!

It's 2016, which means a new PantheaCon is on the horizon. If you're planning on attending the convention you might want to take a look at Crystal Blanton's rundown here which covers both some basic elements of PantheaCon as well as what to do if you're a first time attendee.
There's long been a close relationship between Paganism and the occult but at the same time, they're not quite identical. So what is the relationship between the two? Gods & Radicals takes a retrospective look at the history of the occult in the modern age, its ties to Paganism, and also how it's played an unexpected role in 20th century geopolitics.
