Pagan, Polytheist, & Witchcraft Resources!

(Always under construction, please watch your step!!)

There is an old saying or joke in the Pagan community that basically goes…

“If Christians, Muslims, and Jews, are Peoples of The Book, then Pagans must be Peoples of The Library”

This works in part because following a spiritual or religious path within Paganism or Witchcraft or The Occult, often involves being willing to do a LOT of research.  These paths are rarely if ever ones of easy answers, and anyone who tells you differently may be trying to sell you something!  Frequently one source leads to another sending us down a rabbit hole of research into some related or barely related topic and into a Wonderland of growth and self-realization as we fumble along out paths unscrewing the inscrutable and questing towards our own winged or perfect state.

Not everything you find here will relate directly to Witchcraft or Paganism or The Occult.  Some of these resources lead into other topic areas that have overlapped some way or another in my own journey and may be of use to others in their own journeys.  Some of these sections are presented as general life resources, a topic area Paganism and Witcraft has been lacking in for years but that some recent authors are working to correct.  Some of them are presented to help others avoid pitfalls.

Many of these topics are presented without preamble or introduction, other sections I have added some introductions to for clarification.

This page and the links and introduction and the section introductions are under constant revision as I learn and grow in my own journey.  It has its own comments section down bellow; feel free to use it if you have suggestions of links I could add, or questions, or observations!

Peace,

Pax

Charities

NOTE: Currently none of the listed charities are specifically Pagan.  In many cases they have come to my attention from friends in the Pagan movement.

    I have a friend who is pagan, and needs free legal help concerning a child custody matter. she’s pagan and was sexually manipulated by a supposed pagan, and a child w2as produced. The child is with him, and she desires custody. She tried using an attorney, who took her money, and produced nothing.
    Do you know of any resources she could use? She’s in Redlands, California.

      Dear Reverend Fleming,

      I can suggest a few different resources…

      The Alternative Religions Educational Network, formerly the Witches Anti-Discrimination League.

      The Lady Liberty League

      The Earth Religions Legal Assistance Network

      Are all good possibilities for further advice and assistance, another thought would be to contact your local or state members for Covenant of The Goddess, and the folks of the Reclaiming Tradition, to see if they can aim you at some Pagan friendly legal assistance and counseling resources for your friend.

      Prayers for your friend,

      Pax/ Geoffrey

      Dear Reverend Fleming,

      At the current time I don’t list specific or local Meet-up groups in the resources listing here, although if you have a separate website for Pheonyx Circle I would be happy to check that out and consider linking to it?

      Peace,
      Pax

  2. This is magnificent! I just formed a page on Facebook dedicated to Pagan charities, causes, and aid organizations, in part due to difficulty in finding resources like this. Not meaning at all to compete with such a wonderful resource, I’ll cross post this site and promote it on that page. I’m just getting started with it, but it’s located at https://www.facebook.com/PaganCausesAndCharities. Thanks for all of the wonderful work here.

        Thanks for the updates! I am afraid that the last year or so has seen me develop a major case of burn-out in all of my creative and spiritual efforts.. I am wrestling with that at the moment and hope to be back in form soon.

        1. No worries at all. I’m in the same boat quite often. At the moment I’m on the “on again” side of the “on again, off again” approach to things. Sadly the facebook group I created is not the first. It is probably the easiest to keep running as there are so many great things going on in the pagan world, so hopefully it’ll have more life in it than some of my previous endeavors.

So what do you think?! Opinions? Ideas? Beuller... Bueller?!
