Twin Cities Pagan Pride is next weekend at Minnehaha Falls Park from 10am to 6pm. It’s a fabulous site. The falls are one of the great sacred sites of the Twin Cities. It’s also one of the best parks in the Twin Cities. This new location is just wonderful. Check out the day’s schedule here.

Paganicon early registration rates are in effect through the Pagan Pride celebration. If you intend to go to Paganicon next spring, register now, pay a little less  and learn more here.

The first issue of the Sacred Paths Journal is available

One of our sacred sites has been contaminated. In order to remove graffiti from the Spring House at Cold Water Spring, paint remover was used which then ended up in the water. Please be aware that the water may be contaminated now before gathering water for your sacred purposes.

Wow, I’m still processing from Sacred Fire Circle in Paradise. Night after night immersed in powerful ritual experience; SFCiP is an astounding event, with really nice camping. The people were beautiful every one. There was some rain, but mostly during the times when we were trying to sleep, and the sound of the rain on the tents seemed to enhance the sleeping experience. Hopefully you’ll join us next year. http://sacredfirecircle.hawkdancing.com/index.html

Meanwhile, there are reports about Summerland Spirit Festival in Wisconsin which was flooded, some people lost personal possessions, cars were unable to start for being in too much water for a while, and some participants had to be evacuated by rope because the bridge washed away. Hopefully positive energy will be sent to those who suffered through that hardship.

The Sacred Paths Center has raised over half of the money they need, but they still need to raise quite a bit of money by the end of the month to stay open. They are accepting donations online, so even if you aren’t in the area you can donate to keep the dream of a Pagan community center alive. http://sacredpathscenter.com/
