The new Witch Wars blaze through our community with all the heat and fury of a Medieval inquisition. In this era of social media, former friends turn bitter & dangerous rivals over any perceived slight. We need an approach to encountering our differences in a healthy and productive manner - one that does minimal damage to our relationships, organizations, & spaces. Sadly, we must also stand prepared to do battle when our fellows just won't honor the Peace of the Hall. Katessa S. Harkey is the Storyteller of Spiral Cult Circus, a small Hermetic Fraternal Order in Portland, OR. A member of the occult community for 14 years, she has weathered through many a spat in this fracas - and hopes to see just as few of them into the future as possible
