Listing various kinds of resources for the Pagan Community, including circles (both open and closed), church groups, meeting places, study groups, and event organizers in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Northern California (down to but not including the Bay Area), British Columbia, and Alberta. Some are looking for more people and are open to everyone, while others are very selective, and a few are not open at all (just wanting the community to know they exist).
A listing here does not necessarily mean a specific group can or will help you. If you can't find the resource you're looking for, create it! Tell us about it, and others will help you with it. That's how all these resources came into being.

Men and women of all ages and experience levels welcomed!
A highly structured, well organized Tradition (yes, such things ARE possible in the pagan world!) comprised of smaller societies (Covens and Guilds) within a larger community (the Circle whole.) We offer Sabbat celebrations, including two weekend summer festivals, Esbat meetings for the Covens, and detailed lessons that progress through many areas and levels of knowledge. The Path of the Morgan was created for a lifetime of learning.
We are proud of our ability to build and maintain a strong community both within our Circle and between our group and others in Oregon and Washington. There are no "witch wars" here ... no melodramatic scenes nor bitter, grumbling undercurrents. Keeping to our steady and reliable method, we've found that a civilized atmosphere allows creativity and personal expression a freedom seldom found in pagan groups. This is a good place to make and keep friends.
Our Circle opens for new applicants every summer season, June 1st thru August 31st. Interviews are conducted via email and phone, and finally in person. We close each September to allow our newly expanded group time to adjust until the following summer. We provide information on Morgana Wicca and Circle of the Sapphire Flame all year long. 6 to 9 pm is the best time to contact us. We are located in the Beaverton/Cedar Hills area of Portland.

Spiral Scouts

Contact: Kristi
SpiralScouts, a program for girls and boys working, playing and learning together, has existed within the Aquarian Tabernacle Church to benefit member's children for over a year. Recently word about it spread on the internet and, due to the great demand, it has been formalized into an expanded program under the name SpiralScouts International, Inc., a nonprofit subsidiary of the ATC. SpiralScouts supplies leadership handbooks, awards, merit badges and pins, embroidered shoulder patches, and activities handbooks to make the program work for you on a local basis.
The program has a unique approach to scouting. Each group is led by both a male and a female adult, to achieve and teach that balance that is so central to Paganism. While it is based on Pagan beliefs and practices, it is designed to be adaptable by other non hostile minority faiths as well, by substitution of the faith based activities with their own. In addition to the usual fun activities and woods lore, camping and the customary scouting activities, the program includes teaching about the many mythologies of the ancient world. Uniquely, it includes a component new to scouting - life strategies and skills for teens, to help them learn early how to have good relationships with their peers and adults, and interpersonal skills that will serve them throughout their adult lives.
Please contact us for more information.

Meetings twice-monthly (more or less) at various locations in and near Calgary, Alberta. Some homework and assigned readings; students will be expected to write short papers, design and perform rituals.
Students may make a formal dedication of their intent, but per custom we make no guarantees of initiation or placement within a coven. We are most comfortable working with students who have attained the age of 25 years. Please contact us for more information.
