21 Images of Florida's Hidden Fairy Haven ● Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp

 

A sleeping angel, Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp

There is a special kind of magic that settles over the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp, a small, historic community tucked away in Volusia County, Florida. Founded in 1894 by trance medium George Colby who claimed his spirit guide, Seneca, directed him to this land. Cassadaga remains the oldest continuously active religious community of its kind in the Southeast, a place often called the "Psychic Capital of the World." It is a community built on the belief that the veil between worlds is thin, a place where mediums still practice and the possibility of communication with the departed is a living faith. 

On the grounds of this unique haven is Horseshoe Park, and within it, the whimsical and deeply personal Fairy Trail, a short, winding footpath I visit several times a week. Adorned with countless small, heartfelt trinkets, statues of gnomes and fairies, and creative art installations, this trail serves a dual purpose: it is a place to honor the elemental spirits of nature, and just as powerfully, a quiet sanctuary where visitors, like myself, leave items and memorials to remember and connect with loved ones who have passed. Many believe that offerings to the trail Fairies bring you good luck. And, just as many know that you should never take anything from this sacred space. It isn't just a moral guideline, it is actually posted on the sign at the entrance. 

This is where the old spiritualism of Cassadaga meets a new, charming tradition, and I'd like to share a collection of photos from my latest walk through this enchanting space.

Rewriting the Dark: Hekate in the Age of Comfort | From Blood to Bouquets: Hekate's Image in Modern Witchcraft

 Recently, I mentioned a Facebook group post I had come across in which a young “witch” was expressing her concern for her friend using naughty baneful Magick. And so, naturally, she needed to know how to tattle-tale to the great Hekate, in hopes this peaceful Deity would punish her for her wicked ways. Come the fuck on. There are many Gods and Goddesses who are systematically being transformed into fluff bunnies. However, poor Hekate seems to be the most utilized victim of this injustice. And she is taking a huge hit in the reputation department to pander to this new wave of “baby witches” who seem to need weighted blankets and someone to hold their hand to simply wake up in the morning. Hekate is not a nature Goddess of safe darkness and theatrical dark romance. The true history of Hekate is far from the sanitized, benevolent image presented by many in contemporary spiritual circles. She was not a gentle guide or maternal protector, but a formidable and feared deity associated...

The Wicked and Weird History of the Apple 🍎 31 Days of Halloween History

Throughout October I will be sharing a daily post that highlights the real history of Halloween/Samhain. These will correlate with my short videos I am posting across my social media accounts. You can follow me on  Youtube,   Instagram , and  Facebook  to view them!  The Sinister Sweetness of Halloween Apples: From Romance to Razor Blades Before cellophane-wrapped candy bars became the undisputed kings of the trick-or-treat bag, the humble apple held a curious, often perplexing, reign over Halloween. Its history with the holiday is a winding path from ancient fertility rites to a symbol of modern parental paranoia, embodying both wholesome tradition and chilling urban legend. The apple's journey through Halloween's lore is a fascinating glimpse into how cultural fears and customs evolve, transforming a simple fruit into a repository of our deepest anxieties. The apple's initial connection to this autumnal celebration is rooted in ancient traditions. It entwined ...
