Cyberhenge: Modern Pagans on the Internet (2004) by Doug Cowan remains a foundational text in the fields of online religion and contemporary Pagan studies. We use this anniversary as occasion to reevaluate the digital culture and practices of contemporary Paganism over the last 20 years, gathering scholars to discuss the histories and futures of Paganism and broader magical cyber-communities, including those of BIPOC practitioners who may or may not embrace identification as Pagans. Collectively, participants will provide analysis of the book’s impact, share perspectives on the dynamics of online magic today, and strategize directions for future scholarship. We are honored to include Cowan as respondent. In addition, there will be time for conversation between panelists and discussion based on audience questions. Come celebrate and scheme with us!

1) please do NOT schedule on June 26. Two participants have conflicts on this day. We are open to any of the timeslots. Given the number of panelists participating, if we could have a 90 minute session we would be grateful.
2) The feature to "create new user" was not working and I was not able to add TWO panelists who are not currently AAR members: Ceri Houlbrook, University of Hertfordshire and 2) Lilith Dorsey, Voodoo Universe and Pop Occulture Show (independent scholar/practitioner). Could you add these two panelists or can they be added later if the panel is accepted?
