Here’s to one of the best weekends I’ve had in my life. @technocoven
TechnoCoven 2020 has renewed me spiritually in ways I didn’t know could happen. The community is continually astounding! Not only are they so accepting and encouraging, with their help TechnoCoven raised over $1000 for COVID-19 relief!
“TECHNOCOVEN is a one of a kind Witchcraft and Occult Convention hosted totally on Discord! Even though we may have to physically be apart, that doesn't mean we can't come together as a community digitally. Have all the fun of a real-life convention from the comfort and safety of your own home! Attend a selection of fun and educational panels, participate in contests and games, shop around in our vendor alley, dance the night away during our TechnoCoven ball, and more all in support of several charities that are helping out during the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
I was fortunate enough to be a panelist for this convention. I was so incredibly nervous for it that I worried about it the entire week prior to the actual event, but I am beyond glad that I went through with it!
My panel was called A Linguistic History of English Paganism, and it covered how the language surrounding witchcraft and paganism has evolved along with the English language. It included discussion about ancient European practices as well as the neopagan movement!
Here is a PDF of my notes/a transcript in case you weren’t able to make it to the presentation and want to learn more!
I also had the joy of joining other panels such as the Hellenic Polytheism Q&A with @thepastelpriestess and @rosegoldtunic, Tea With the Gods: The Role of Mythology in Hellenic Polytheism with @thepastelpriestess, and The Realm of the Fae with @powerpriestess!
I was very blessed to have taken part in the group Beltane Ritual led by @nightshadeandroses and it absolutely nourished my soul. I got my new altar earlier that day as well and managed to cleanse it and set it up before the ritual. It’s something I will remember forever 💕
This convention was a memory of a lifetime, and I’m so blessed to have been part of it. Thank you to everyone who helped put this together (please go follow and support them!):
