If you\u2019re in the North Texas area, please join us on Saturday, February 25 from 2:00 till 5:00 for our \u201cIntroduction to Modern Pagan Religion\u201d class. We\u2019ll cover the beliefs and practices of our ancient ancestors, the origins of Wicca and other modern Pagan religions (and the differences between them), basic concepts shared by most Pagans today, the structure of group rituals and how to lead them, and the essentials of personal spiritual practice. <\/p>\n

This will be the third edition of this class. It\u2019s intended for people who are looking for some live instruction to complement their solitary practice, those who are looking for something beyond all the Wicca 101 books, and those who are curious about modern Pagan beliefs and practices no matter what religion they follow. <\/p>\n
