How and Why to Submit a Pagan Post on Our Website: A Complete Guide

In a world filled with diverse spiritual paths, Paganism continues to grow and evolve as a vibrant, dynamic, and eclectic community of individuals seeking connection to nature, ancient wisdom, and personal spirituality. Whether you identify as a Wiccan, Druid, Heathen, or simply as a Pagan exploring your own unique spiritual journey, your voice matters, and your experiences can help others along their own path. This is why we encourage you to submit a Pagan post to our website.

In this blog post, we’ll explore why submitting a post is essential for both you and the broader Pagan community, what types of posts are most impactful, and how to submit your content easily. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a first-time contributor, this guide will help you share your wisdom with the world!

Why Submit a Pagan Post?

1. Share Your Knowledge and Experiences

The Pagan path is deeply personal, of course. Indeed, every person’s journey is unique, from how they came to Paganism to how they practice, engage with deities, or connect with nature. Therefore, by sharing your story or insights, you can help others in the community who may be searching for guidance, validation, or simply the joy of hearing from someone who shares their beliefs. Paganism thrives on community and mutual learning, so your experiences are valuable.

Example Topics:
- How you began your Pagan journey
- Rituals or spiritual practices you’ve developed
- Experiences with specific deities, spirits, or ancestors
- Seasonal celebrations or unique ways you honour the Wheel of the Year

2. Foster a Sense of Community

Pagans often face a sense of isolation, as it can be difficult to find others who share your spiritual path. However, by contributing to our website, you’re helping to foster a sense of belonging. Furthermore, your post could inspire connections, facilitate discussions, and offer encouragement to someone feeling alone in their journey. The more voices we amplify, the stronger our collective community becomes.

3. Preserve and Evolve Pagan Wisdom

Paganism is often described as a modern reconstruction of ancient traditions, meaning that it is constantly evolving. While many of our practices are rooted in history, there’s always room for innovation, creativity, and new interpretations. By contributing a post, you’re actively participating in the evolution of modern Paganism. Your thoughts, practices, or ideas could inspire new rituals, beliefs, or traditions for future generations.

4. Boost Your Personal Profile

If you’re a writer, teacher, or practitioner looking to establish or grow your presence in the Pagan community, publishing articles on websites is a great way to build your profile. By submitting high-quality, well-thought-out posts, you’ll gain visibility and credibility in the community. Plus, if you include links to your own website, blog, or social media, it can drive traffic to your personal work or offerings.

Types of Pagan Posts You Can Submit

Our website welcomes a variety of Pagan-related content, allowing you to express yourself in a way that best fits your expertise and passion. Here are some categories to consider when drafting your submission:

1. Personal Reflections and Experiences

These are posts that focus on your individual journey, challenges, breakthroughs, and spiritual growth. They are heartfelt narratives that resonate with readers on a personal level.

Examples (Already On Site):

2. Educational and Informational Posts

If you have expertise in a particular area of Paganism, you can educate others with instructional or fact-based articles. These posts are excellent for those who enjoy research, historical reconstruction, or who have mastered specific aspects of Paganism.

Examples:

“A Beginner’s Guide to Casting Circle: What You Need to Know.” My version is here.
“The Historical Origins of the Sabbats and How They’re Celebrated Today.” I have a similar post here.
“Working with Crystals: How to Incorporate Them into Your Pagan Practice.” My work is here.

**Although I may have previously wrote articles on the subjects, we always welcome personal accounts and experiences.

3. Rituals and Spells

One of the most popular types of content in the Pagan community is the sharing of rituals and spells. Whether it’s a detailed step-by-step guide or a creative new way of approaching magic, these posts are always appreciated by readers looking for inspiration.

Examples:

“A Simple New Moon Ritual for Beginners.”
“Spell to Manifest Abundance in Your Life.”
“Celebrating the Autumn Equinox: A Ritual for Balance and Gratitude.”

4. Seasonal and Sabbat-Related Content

Content that ties into the Pagan Wheel of the Year is always highly relevant. Readers love to see how others celebrate holidays such as Samhain, Yule, Ostara, and Beltane.

Examples:

“Yule Celebrations: honouring the Winter Solstice in a Modern World”
“How to Create a Beltane Altar for Fertility and Passion”
“Samhain: Connecting with Ancestors Through Ritual and Reflection”

5. Book, Movie, and Media Reviews

If you’ve come across a book, documentary, or other media that you feel is relevant to the Pagan community, consider writing a review. Sharing your thoughts on books about Paganism, witchcraft, mythology, or even fiction with Pagan themes can be helpful to others.

Examples:

“Review: ‘The Witch’s Path’ by Thorn Mooney”
“Pagan Themes in Disney’s ‘Frozen’: A Look at Norse Mythology”
“Top 5 Books Every Modern Pagan Should Read”

6. Art, Poetry, and Creative Writing

If you’re creatively inclined, you can submit poems, short stories, or Pagan-themed artwork. This form of expression can be a powerful way to communicate spiritual truths and emotions that transcend words.

Examples:

“A Prayer to the Goddess Hecate: Poetry for the Dark Moon”
“The Forest Spirits: A Short Pagan Tale of Nature’s Magic”
“Art: Visual Representations of the Four Elements in Paganism”

How to Submit A Pagan Post

Submitting your Pagan post to our website is simple and user-friendly. Just follow the steps below, and you’ll have your content published in no time!

1. Choose Your Topic

Start by deciding on a topic that you feel passionate about. It’s important that your post reflects your authentic voice and experiences, so write about something that excites you. Refer to the categories mentioned earlier if you need some inspiration!

2. Prepare Your Post

Once you’ve chosen your topic, it’s time to draft your post. Here are some tips to make sure your submission shines:

Be clear and concise: Make sure your post is easy to read, with well-organized thoughts and ideas.
Proofread: Check for grammar and spelling errors. A polished post shows care and respect for the readers.
Include references: If you’re writing a fact-based article or sharing historical information, be sure to include citations for your sources.
Add personal touches: Even in educational posts, it’s great to add a personal story or insight to help readers connect.

3. Format Your Post

We prefer posts that are 800 to 1500 words in length, though shorter or longer submissions are welcome as long as they provide value. In all cases, they should not be less than 300 words. You can include subheadings, bullet points, and lists to make your content more readable. If you’re submitting art, poetry, or creative work, the word count may differ.

Feel free to include relevant images or videos, but please ensure they are either your original work or properly attributed to their creators (with permission). You should not copy and paste from elsewhere because your post should be all your own work.

4. Submit via Our Submission Form

Once your post is ready, simply head to our website and navigate to the “Submit a Post” section. Our submission form will guide you through uploading your content and providing any additional details, such as your name, a short bio, and any links to your social media or website (if applicable).

We review all submissions before publishing, so please allow up to two weeks for us to go over your post. If it’s accepted, we’ll notify you via email when it’s live!

Submit a Pagan Post: Pagan Club Policy

Before you write an essay for the Pagan Club, you should make sure you understand our privacy policy and terms of use. However, just use common sense, and it will be fine. We obviously reserve the right to adjust your posts if necessary. Indeed, should your posts be way off the mark, we may not publish them. This helps with spam prevention, of course.

By and large though, pagan posters are easily recognisable, so your posts will go live as you submit them. However, your first post may have to await moderation first. Then, when you build up a reputation, they will go live right away.

Submit a Pagan Post on the Forum

The Pagan Club website is ideal to post in-depth articles, but we also have a Pagan Forum. So, not only can you comment on the articles here on the Heathen Blog and make your own posts, but you can use our message boards as well. They are complementary to each other, but the forum allows better social interaction with like-minded people.

So, if you prefer forums or can’t gather your thoughts enough for an in-depth blog post, just use that chat medium instead. Finally, if you have any suggestions for the Pagan Club Website or the Pagan Forum, let us know. Its your domain, so use it!
