The recognition of Wicca as a religion in 1986 was just the beginning for Pagans of all flavors in their efforts to achieve the same legitimacy as mainstream religions. Bringing our world of rituals and shadows into the light has been a long fought journey. Now that the era of secrets has given way to online magic courses and WitchTok, how do we keep our culture and history from being lost in the sea of marketing. The discipline of Pagan studies has existed nearly as long as the contemporary Pagan religious movement. Yet,outside of academics and authors, who has access to this research? Where can students go to find resources on Paganism? These are just a few of the questions that Pagan archivists Guy Frost and Velvet Caponi seek to answer.
