Question by LabGrrl: Pagans: Random spelling changes?
Other than magic(k).
I got forwarded a ritual where the author called a conjury a kennarie, I’ve seen the spelling ethamy for athamé and wylle for will. These instances had nothing to do with Old English and everything to do with new silliness.

Are there any words you have seen spelled in wacky ways in newer Pagan materials that you just had to sit there and decipher?

Any words you intentionally mispell?

Any “new spellings” we should retire?
In the case of wylle for will, it took me a good 2-3 minutes before I realized the author of the ritual was saying will…rofl.

They give the appearance of having come from an older oral tradition. It’s another marketing ploy, like misspelling Kwik Kleen
