Friendly Pagans

Friendly Pagans (relaunched April 2, 2010) is a resurgence of a central calendar for pagan events in the Chicago, Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Indiana areas that was running in the early 2000's.

Completely updated and automated, free to post your pagan friendly event and the site includes a blog to contact other like-minded people in the area to help facilitate networking on events. The concept is: local pagan groups would link the calendar to their website and have up-to-date info on the entire local community displayed right on their web page.

Connecting people with people - my goal is to unify and centralize a pagan friendly network of events that are legitimate and complete. All who participate, maintain and publish on this website are promoting religious and magickal / craft awareness, and are helping to build a peaceful, fair, and free world.

Paganism is a spiritual way of life which has its roots in the ancient nature religions of the world. Such belief in the sacredness of all things can be found world-wide. We celebrate the sanctity of Nature, revering the Divine in all things; the vast, unknowable spirit that runs through the universe, both seen and unseen.

Pagans understand that we have many tools within our grasp to help us in our life. Some of us perform rituals, cast spells, pray, use herbs, meditation, Homeopathy, and deal in magick in all it's forms. We don't all "do" the same things. But the basic "reason" we are doing these things are the same. Basically, we are people who, like most who have faith in a higher power, try to live a good life and honor our God(s) and Godesses.

For all those who equate being a Pagan with devil worship and Satanism, please understand that Satan is part of the Judaea-Christian beliefs and has nothing to do with paganism. Also, not all Pagans are witches (Wiccan) much like not all Christians are Methodist. Not all pagans cast spells...

The above reflects the personal views of the website creator, and I have stolen words from the best! Please understand - one of the best parts of being Pagan is, you don't have to agree with me... we are all on a path with the same destination. Blessed Be.
