We’re thinking about trying something new next year: a monthly “Seeker’s Salon,” consisting of a 2 hour block, part social, part free basic class (think Wicca/Pagan 101 type subjects). If that sounds interesting, please use the poll below to let us know what sorts of topics you’d like to see in these classes. We’re alsoContinue reading “Thoughts for 2024”

Discord Server
We’ve got forums here on the website for conversations, but with the way most social media is going, someone at Pagan Pride Day suggested that a Discord server might be a good secondary option. So, with that in mind, we now have a Discord server. Please feel free to join and jump into the conversationsContinue reading “Discord Server”
Poltics and Pagans
Yesterday, we hosted Pagan Pride Day (not affiliated with the Pagan Pride Project) here in metro Detroit. As part of that, we facilitated a discussion around community, and how we make the community stronger. One of the things that came out of that discussion was a discussion on politics. As a 501(c)3, we are notContinue reading “Poltics and Pagans”
School Supply Give Away!
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but school is going to start up again soon (we know – we’ve been working on the first year of Spiral Moon Academy‘s full program!). And the beginning of school means shopping for school supplies, and that adds up fast. Pagan Pride has traditionally included a canned food drive,Continue reading “School Supply Give Away!”
Toys for Yule Update
We are accepting applications through Saturday at this link. We have one family so far in need of assistance this Yule. Family #1 is a parent and 7 year old child. The child is interested in Spider Man, Boxing, and Hot Wheels. The parent says they mostly shop at Kroger and WalMart. If you wouldContinue reading “Toys for Yule Update”
Membership Discount Options
We know that money is tight for many of us. While a reliable income would mean we were one step closer to having our own space rather than meeting in restaurants and coffee shops and parks, we want to find ways to include everyone. We already allow you to earn back your membership fees ifContinue reading “Membership Discount Options”
Community Safety Updates
It’s always been my intention to make sure that we’re doing what we can to make sure that all attendees at our events are safe. I’ve said in the past that I think that means that many volunteers need background checks, volunteers who work with our youth need training and guidelines on appropriate conduct, andContinue reading “Community Safety Updates”
Toys for Yule
Over the years, a variety of organizations have organized a Yule gifting program specifically for the children in our community, particularly those whose families might be struggling to make ends meet. This year, we’d like to take on that role. With that in mind, we’ll be opening up applications. We’ll keep applications open through DecemberContinue reading “Toys for Yule”
Blasphemy is Illegal?
Do you know what blasphemy is? I thought I did…but then I heard that it was illegal in Michigan. I think I knew that, actually, based on a case that made national news a few years back over someone cursing while on a canoe trip. So, I decided to go look it up. Blasphemy noun, plural blas·phe·mies.Continue reading “Blasphemy is Illegal?”
Apps!
Well, that was an experience! I am, at heart, not a software developer, though I’ve written programs from time to time over the years. It’s taken far longer than anticipated, but our apps are now live. Both apps have access to all our groups and to our calendar and upcoming events list. They also haveContinue reading “Apps!”
