Wow . okay I think I'm going to need a new mouse now after scrolling through Hernandez' post. (which by the way, was very thorough but 1 noted discrepancy... definitely to include the Bay Area in California! There's "Storm's Coven" and a rather well known Pagan named Elaine holds a "Witchy Wednesday gathering."

I've always had the best luck getting hooked up with other like minded people at my local Metaphysical Shops. They always have a bulletin board loaded w/ info. Good luck & Peace...

Go to the meetups.com they have pagan groups in most towns. Go to the pagan book stores in your town and ask if there are any open circles. You can join lots of groups on yahoo. Just put in pagan and your town. If nothing in your town try the biggest one close to you.

I go to the local pagan meetups, and they have lots of good people. I heard that some places its harder to find people, but I can't imagine any place harder than this. I been here 10 yrs and we never had a store open for more than 6 mo's. The cops run them out. But I found lots of fiends to circle with.

Well, it would help if you told us what part of the world you were looking. Lacking that information, I'd suggest you check and see if you have a Unitarian Universalist congregation near you. UU's draw wisdom from many spiritual traditions including the big three (Islam, Judaism and Christianity) as well as Buddhism, Taoism, Humanism, Science, Earth Based Spirituality (this includes Wiccan & Pagan). Many larger groups have a coven or circle within the UU congregation.

Today's Christianity Not Jesus' Religion*



[5:72] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is the Messiah, son of Mary. The Messiah himself said, "O Children of Israel, you shall worship GOD; my Lord and your Lord." Anyone who sets up any idol beside GOD, GOD has forbidden Paradise for him, and his destiny is Hell. The wicked have no helpers.



[5:73] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is a third of a trinity. There is no god except the one god. Unless they refrain from saying this, those who disbelieve among them will incur a painful retribution.



[5:74] Would they not repent to GOD, and ask His forgiveness? GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.



[5:75] The Messiah, son of Mary, is no more than a messenger like the messengers before him, and his mother was a saint. Both of them used to eat the food. Note how we explain the revelations for them, and note how they still deviate!



[5:76] Say, "Would you worship beside GOD powerless idols who can neither harm you, nor benefit you? GOD is Hearer, Omniscient."



_____________________________________________________________________

*5:72-76 In John 20:17, we see that Jesus taught that he was neither God, nor the son of God. Many theologians have concluded, after careful research, that today's Christianity is not the same Christianity taught by Jesus. Two outstanding books on this subject are "The Myth of God Incarnate" (The Westminster Press, Philadelphia, 1977) and The "Mythmaker" (Harper & Row, New York, 1986). On the front jacket of "The Mythmaker" we read the following statement:

" ...Hyam Maccoby presents new arguments to support the view that Paul, not Jesus, was the founder of Christianity....it was Paul alone who created a new religion through his vision of Jesus as a divine Saviour who died to save humanity."



http://www.submission.org/suras/sura5.htm





Did Jesus or his Apostles follow a religion called Christianity? Who were the first 'Christians' ? Who founded Christianity and do the teachings of Christianity conform to the teachings of Jesus?



The teachings of Paul, the true founder of Christianity, cannot be found anywhere in the teachings of Jesus or in those of prophets before him.

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



Area: Portland, OR

Web: www.paganparent.com/spiralscouts/

Email: paganmom@paganparent.com

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.
