Feature Story
Spirit's Edge in the St. Louis Post Dispatch!
Our most exciting media experience is the St. Louis Post Dispatch coverage and feature story on Spirit's Edge Shamonial Temple, where we worked with a hard news reporter from the Post that first reached out to HPS Kassia in early January 2016. The reporter attended our Imbolc ritual along with a photographer.
Then, we referred to several elders in the community for quotes, and HPS Kassia also worked with the reporter to run the story in conjunction with and to promo the St. Louis Pagan Picnic 2016, where we were able to create a broader story to benefit the entire pagan community and Pagan Picnic through our work over those 5-6 months.
Please also check out our Temple's Facebook page album with photos and links to that coverage HERE. Below is a summary description from our album at the time the article was published along with a photo gallery of the hard copy newspaper spread!:
"The article in Sunday's St. Louis Post Dispatch, timed perfectly to feature our Temple and Pagan Picnic! Reading the online version (on Sat. June 4, 2016) was awesome, but laying eyes on the print version for the first time late Sunday night after Picnic was truly beyond words! We were the cover of Section B and the main photo takes up nearly the whole front page!
The article not only beautifully featured our Temple and our members, it also captured the joyous spirit of Pagan Picnic and positively portrayed our faith in mainstream media through the words of Pagan experts and Elders in our community.
Our Temple endeavored to extrapolate this publicity to expand it to the greater Pagan Community and Pagan Picnic from its original focus on our Temple. It is also a tribute to our tireless efforts to build our online and in-person communities and a special nod to all of our members - we served as ambassadors for a path and faith which is often is not understood.
Thank you to each of you for being a part of it! Love, Blessings & Gratitude to all of you! Blessed be!
Love, Light & Blessings! ~Kassia S. Morgan, HPS
Spirit's Edge In The Metro News!
"Spirit's Edge had an absolutely incredible time at the 2019 St. Louis Pagan Picnic!! Temple member Sarah Bristow did a great job in an interview with Metro STL / The South Sider! I came up when Sarah was answering her questions, and she did a great job!! I also answered additional questions about our Mystery School and Temple. The article was excellent and quoted several pagan elders who original created and have run the Pagan Picnic over the years. Sarah's photo was on the home page of Metro STL for The South Sider, so exciting!! (That's head is in the background talking to other visitors to our booth.) Such a blessing to have such a great piece online about this amazing annual festival!"
Love, Light & Blessings! ~Kassia S. Morgan, HPS
