Please spread the word! There are now two Pagan-supportive AA meetings in the area, every Monday and Thursday night at 7:00PM, both at Eye of Horus, 2717 Lyndale Ave. South in Minneapolis.

vital Pagan institution.

For years, Jaime Meyer has been teaching the shamanic art of the drum. He
has made rattles and drums from reindeer hide and antler and can
lead beginners to become a percussive tribal orchestra in a single
evening!
They gather on Friday evenings (see current schedule below) from 7:00-9:30 PM, generally in the Cummins Room at
at First Universalist Church of Minneapolis 3400 Dupont Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN 55408. (There is a small
parking lot; note that Dupont Avenue is one-way, northbound.) A drumming class is held at 6:15 in the same space. Bring
your drums, rattles, and sticks if you have them. As always, we'll
gladly accept your free will donations for the program, but we don't
want anyone stay away for financial reasons.
Check out Jaime's new blog at http://drummingthesoulawake.blogspot.com/
The following schedule is subject to changes, announced by newsletter. Contact bremer101@yahoo.com to get
an introductory letter from Jaime a few days before each drum. Feel
free to bring a friend any time.
Save the Date: The first regular drum of the Fall will be September 5th, in the Cummins Room. |
Druid's Grove Gather: 3rd Thursdays of the month
Note change of day. This group now meets on the 3rd Thursday of the month at Merlin's Rest, 3601 E Lake St Mpls. 7 to 9 PM.
It's a warm and friendly place with traditional pub food. Don't miss the photos of Stonehenge, etc. The wonderful old man I met there boasts that this is the only Pagan pub in Minneapolis. It's served by busses #21, 24, and the 53 Express.

Networking & Clubs & Other Events
at Eye of Horus
Pagan Night Out - Thursday, 9/27/2008,
6pm – 9pm
Come for coffee or tea, come for cards, come and knit or stitch, come for craft discussions, come and chill to the best of pagan music playing in the background. This is an informal, semi-structured meetup with occasional theme or movie nights. (Come share your ideas for themes). Meet new people, catch up with old friends, and most of all, have fun in a space that is more than Pagan-friendly and west of the River, for those who can't always make it all the way to Coffee Cauldron, or for those who want the option to gather more frequently. Twice a month Eye of Horus will transform the gallery space into a Salon. Feel free to drop in! Suggested donation ($5 - $?) to cover the cost of coffee/tea/cookies/space.
Hellenic Reconstructionists' study group 2nd & 4th Fridays
This is an open group, always welcoming newcomers. Please join in! Discussions will focus on Greek & Roman pantheon, and reconstruction of religious practices.

7-8 p.m.
Chant for Peace:

Mystic Posse Meet-up:
1st Saturday each month
10–11am
Todd Berntson, D.C., leads this open group. Meet with others who seek a deeper understanding of themselves and a stronger connection with the Divine. Our meet-ups involve learning concepts and then applying those ideas in an experiential activity. The focus will be on developing our five aspects of self (intellect, emotions, sexuality, physical body, and spirit). Activities tend toward some form of ritual, meditation, or discussion.
Donations ($1 - $5) are encouraged, to help cover costs.
Monthly Open Drum Jam
3rd Friday each month 7-9 pm
Bring your drum and join the circle! We jam on from 7-9 p.m on the

Higher Grounds: Full Moon Rituals in Stillwater
Each ritual will center around the name of each month's moon; for example, this coming Full Moon is, of course, the Harvest Moon! For this ritual, think about a "Spiritual Harvest" you are thankful for this year. Please write it on a piece of paper beforehand. However, we will have paper available if you forget.
We will try to hold the rituals on the actual full moon dates: Mon., Sept. 15; Tue., Oct. 14; Thu., Nov. 13; Fri., Dec. 12.
Gather at 6 p.m. for socializing, etc. (or earlier if you like)
Ritual will be at 7 p.m. SHARP! (We will make every effort to keep the ritual to one hour, to allow for a bit more socializing afterward, and time to make it home for a good night's sleep.)
Ritual Garb is encouraged.
Cakes and Wine will be passed during the ritual.
If you have musical instruments such as drums, rattles or wind instruments, please feel free to bring them along!
Coffee and Tea will be available before and after ritual. Please bring whatever you would like to drink, and/or a dish to pass.
GUESTS: You may bring guests as long as they are familiar/comfortable with "circle etiquette," which can be emailed to you on request.
ALLERGIES: Please call regarding allergies to incense, etc. Cat and smoker on premises; however, there will be no smoking indoors on Full Moon Day.
SITE: ALL rituals will be held outdoors unless it is raining/snowing or BELOW FREEZING! So, please dress accordingly! In case of inclement weather, ritual will be indoors. It will be SNUG, but we can do it! Some chairs will be provided, however, we will be standing during ritual, unless you have a medical excuse.
Free will donations will be accepted to cover expenses of your host/hostess.
Questions? (651) 439-9238 or (651) 283-2930.

Full Moon Walks at Coldwater Spring
Coldwater is a 10,000-year-old spring that is a limestone record of geologic
history from meltwater under the last glacier to the present. During full moon
walks we provide interpretation about the geographic and human history of the
area. Permission from United States Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife
Service is being sought to visit the spring during these walks. Coldwater
is such a beautiful and peaceful site. We would like to allow time for people to
see and hear the water, to experience being at the spring, and to walk the
labyrinth. If we show up for these walks, it will support our claim that this is
a
sacred site which should be protected, not to mention this is a beautiful way to
honor the moons.
We meet at the parking lot at the end of Minnehaha Park From Hwy 55, or
Hiawatha Blvd., turn into Minnehaha park at 54th St. Follow the road as it turns
left and park in that parking lot. We will walk the frontage road to Coldwater.
Walking is a significant part of the experience, to put your feet on the land,
and walking is a traditional method of spiritual contemplation. We want only
foot traffic in and out of Coldwater for full moon walks. In fact, we wish there was a pedestrian gate. http://www.friendsofcoldwater.org/
We have been able to verify that this activity is still continuing as of 11/24/07.
For dates and details on full moon walks, contact Susu at: susujeffrey@earthlink.net |

Reconstructionist Religions Meetup -- 3rd Saturdays
@ Diamonds, 1618 Central Ave NE, Mpls (NE side)
Saturday November 18, 2006 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Meet other local people who practice a Reconstructionist Religion,
such as Baltic, Celtic, Germanic, Greek, Kemetic, Nordic, Roman,
Slavic, etc. The meetings are a time for socializing and networking
where we can compare notes with the other groups in town to see what
we are all doing. Where our efforts overlap we could also consider
pooling our resources.
Guests are welcome. We are a rather small Meetup so for now the
Minneapolis and St. Paul Reconstructionists Meetups will be held
together.
* Events are free to attend
[Our information on this comes 3rd hand and is incomplete. If
anyone involved can provide an email addy or phone contact for this
event, we will continue to maintain this free ad. Please email info
to the editor.]
But Most MeetUps are Dark Again:
The Minneapolis Witches and Magickal Meetups:
have lists of interested parties
but no organizers.
THIS IS HOW Meet-Up WORKS:
Meet-Up events take place in public places, such as local
restaurants, clubs, etc. It's a great way to meet like-minded folks.
If you the MeetUp site now & then, you'll see there's always new groups
forming. At one time there was a Pagan Parenting Meet-Up,
a Wandering Witches (solitaries) Meet-Up and a St Paul Ritual Creation
Meet-Up.
Don't understand exactly how Meet-Up works?
Visit: http://www.meetup.com/faq/tutorial/
For future months, register at http://pagan.meetup.com/
IF ANYONE GETS ANOTHER PAGAN-RELATED MEET-UP EVENT GOING,
please let me know, and
we'll publish the info here as well.
There is a modest cost to be a group leader, along with an
expectation of regular attendance. Again, we only get the
institutions we're willing to support. So has the $9/mo PER GROUP
been just more than meeting other Pagans is worth? Or is there
some other reason that Pagan/Wiccan/Magick Meetups withered?
What's your opinion?

Not exclusively Pagan, but too much fun to leave out
of these pages.
Mr. Fun Spin Jam
Spin Jams have been going on in Mpls for about 7 yrs. It's always
been alive and new mainly because everyone feels involved and a part of
the experience. Let's enhance this involvement... bring a drum or
any percussion instruments including singing bowls and didgeridoos and
bells for the opening circle, bring snacks and drinks to share, make a
dish for folks to enjoy, bring something for the altar (a good place to
put a photo of a loved one who need healing energy), bring a poem to the
opening circle, bring a friend, or just bring an open heart & mind...
Dates and venues are too
irregular and short notice to list here but they ARE frequent; an email list is available.

New Age Social Hour (NASH) Albertville/St. Michael NASH
is an informal group that meets 4 times a year at different locations. Most often we will meet at a restaurant or park to share a meal or activity. NASH is designed to be an opportunity to gather the Pagan community together with all Pagan paths and groups from the area to share group news and announcements as well as to be able to network with others on shared projects from the community. It is meant to be an informal gathering for fun and friendship among people of all paths and beliefs. It is not meant to be a place to convert anyone to any other path. We would encourage you to come and join us for a meal and just have a good time. There is power in numbers and it is fun to meet others of other paths as well as your own. If you have any questions contact Lady Sherrell at: 320-493-7187

Saint Cloud State University Pagan Alliance
It is rumored that this group is meeting on Wednesday Evenings. Unfortunately, I have no contact
info on them in a year, and cannot verify if they still meet, how to reach
them, or whether they are open to non-students.
If anyone can verify or supplement this information, I will update
this notice.
"The SCSU Pagan Alliance is a recognized University Organization
supporting pagans and friends in central Minnesota by providing
regular meetings for us to get together with likeminded people and
doing whatever we can to support each other on our paths in life.
Regular weekly meetings are held in the Atwood Theatre Lounge on
Wednesdays at 8pm during fall and spring semesters."
University Pagan Society
We have heard that the University Pagan Society is no longer in operation at the U. If this information is incorrect, please contact the editor ASAP.
This is
another long-running Pagan institution; locations have varied over
the years. The University Pagan Society is a student group at the U
of M. meeting regularly on Thursday, 7-9, first floor of Peik
Hall 159 Pillsbury Drive. Look for the sign with the UPS moon & pentacle logo. Show Me A Map to Peik!
For more information, please visit www.umn.edu/~pagan
UPS is currently looking for new members, and most especially
student members. We have had a high amount of turnover in recent
times, and many students graduated this year, so the group make
up has changed from what it was in the past.
If you have any questions about the group,please e-mail pagan@tc.umn.edu.
