BS-Free Witchcraft (Nerd and Tie Network Feed)

39. Mabon and Aidan Kelly


Listen Later

In the last few years there has been some minor push back against using the name “Mabon” for the Autumnal Equinox. In this episode we’re going to talk about how Mabon got its name, who came up with the name, and why exactly a small group of British Traditional Wiccans are so mad about it.

Spoiler: it’s because a bunch of Gardnerian Wiccans are mad at Aidan Kelly.
