by Michael Quintos - Jul 22, 2019


Currently docked at the Carpenter Center for the Performing Arts in Long Beach through July 28 is Musical Theater West's wonderfully vibrant new regional production of THE LITTLE MERMAID, Disney's Broadway stage adaptation of their hit 1989 animated classic, which itself was adapted from the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale.

MTW's production is a visual treat.

'Complete Teachings of Wicca: Book Two: The Wicce' released
by Robert Diamond - Aug 5, 2018


As a teacher of Wicca and Witchcraft for over five decades, The Witch of Oz is not happy to see where Wicca is heading in the 21st century. For her, with too many untrained and unqualified people claiming to be Witches. Anyone can use the title of Wiccan, and use it freely to denote their religious opinions but being a Witch takes years of dedicated training within a 'Traditional Coven.' However, she also believes that these people need vigorous and devout intensive training to be elevated to the title of Witch. It is for this reason she writes 'Complete Teachings of Wicca: Book Two: The Wicce' (published by Balboa Press AU).
