The Informed Pagan


The Informed Pagan is a collaborative Pagan community that can be used as a resource for learning more about the various religions and practices that fall under the Pagan umbrella. A place where one can ask any question and expect thoughtful, honest answers, based not only on collective experiences, but currently available scholarly research.

Founded by a group of Pagans from various paths, we are dedicated towards promoting responsibility and integrity within the Pagan Community, through knowledge and awareness. Paganism is a very broad topic, and there is a ton of misinformation that has been perpetuated over the years, and unfortunately, very little has been done to stop it.

Most of us started out, as many do, rather “fluffy”, not knowing what we were doing, and often trusting what we thought were reliable resources, only to find that we’d been misled. The misleading wasn’t always done intentionally, but it was clear that there was a serious lack of genuinely reliable resources for those who were seeking a Pagan path. In talking about how far we had come and how embarrassed we were at some of the things we had once said and written (and yes we have ALL been there), we felt strongly that more guidance should be available for Pagans of all types. Talking about this wasn’t enough, and we decided we needed to take action. Which brings us here, to TIP.

The Informed Pagan is for anyone who needs a bit of help navigating the world of Paganism. If you are unsure of what you should be doing, which authors are reliable, or even what you believe, just ask. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOME!! We have the knowledge and experience

Sometimes it can be difficult getting your hands on everything you need for a spell. In scenarios like that, these substitutions will come in handy. These are generally easy to find, as opposed to some rarer or pricier ingredients used in magic.

NO. God damnit. Why would you need the ingredients in the first place if you could just replace them with what the fuck ever? Christ.

Why would roses replace any flower? Why? Roses have particular properties and mental associations, like, why would they replace buttercups or daisies?

I mean write your own spell with the shit you have lying around. Why take someone else’s spell if you don’t have the things you need to do it?

Right?!

You can always substitute stuff, but the point is to substitute something that makes sense - either has similar properties/purpose, or a similar meaning to you. If you don’t have access to a lot of stuff, write something that doesn’t use anything (because you don’t necessarily need extra bells and whistles - even if they are nice to have), or write/modify something to incorporate what you do have access to.
