Pagan Pages Magazine is seeking a very special Witch, specifically a Hereditary Witch who would be interested in writing a monthly column regarding articles assisting those interested in writing spells, BOS's etc. and the ABC's, with the little facts of how tos' to accomplish them.


The column is not to be about the history of Paganism, Wicca, etc., but merely the importants facts of correspondence, days of the week, moon phases, candle colors, etc., what nots and don't dos when writing a spell, doing a ritual, preparing for a Sabbat. What to record in a BOS, how to find the perfect BOS, blessing sacred space etc. This is meant to be an educational column for all ages of all paths to help all remember the little important things we can so easily forget when we get up in the hectic mess we call everyday life. Don't laugh and say I would never forget, for we all can. We all take short cuts every now and then and sometimes its good to just have a reminder and that is what this column is going to be about.


If you are interest, please do not response to this bulletin but email me personally at

January 2009 Classes, Meets, and Events:


Raising Pagans


Hosted By:  Off the Beaten Path


When: Jan. 2nd. 2009
Where: Butler, New Jersey


Category: Networking
What to Bring: pen, notebook, snacks to share
Price/Donation: Free


Meet other local pagan parents!


Event Details: IFollowing the successful start of Pagans Like Me, Off the Beaten Path received several requests for a pagan parents group where parents can discuss raising children in a pagan household. This is the place to share your ideas on pagan spirituality for children and learn how others are handling the complex issues surrounding children and pagan spirituality. We will discuss different topics and share ideas for age-appropriate seasonal celebrations and rituals, and resources available to parents who want to raise their children as pagans. Bring refreshments or snacks to share; coffee, tea, and herbal tea will be provided by Off the Beaten Path.


Are you a new mommy feeling a bit overwhelmed? New mommies are welcome to bring their babies with them; we have not-so-new mommies and some pretty old mommies who can hold those young-uns for a while, talk to you like an adult, have coffee or tea with you, discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of raising pagan children, in short, help to be a support group you can turn to when you need it. We would prefer toddlers be left with a sitter once they're mobile, as the store is not child-proof and we don't want them to get hurt.


This is the season for inclement weather. In case of snow, call to be sure the event has not been cancelled. Our primary concern is the safety of our customers. Once-a-month events (Guided Meditation, Pagans Like Me, Pagan Parenting) cancelled due to snow, will be cancelled for that month. Stay warm, stay safe, and we'll see you soon!


Event Location: 15 Boonton Ave in Butler

Community Night (Offerings Of Gratitude) 


Hosted by: Sacred Circle

When: Jan. 3rd. 2009
Where: Long Branch, New Jersey
Category: Workshop
What to Bring: Yourself
Price/Donation: Free

Community Night (Offerings Of Gratitude)

Event Details: Community Night (Monthly)
Topic: "Offerings Of Gratitude" 2nd Annual
Date: Saturday 1/3/09
Time: 7pm-9:30pm
Cost: Free

Please pre-register by calling 732-229-1119

This is a free event for people to gather with like-minded individuals to socialize, have discussions, and forge friendships. It has become very evident to us
 that there are many people that feel like they do not have a community to rely on and to feel a part of. Many people feel disconnected or not welcomed by
 the people around them and may feel like there is no one that they can talk to that is "like them". Join us in this night of forging a community- to feel 
welcomed, connected, and at home. 


This Month:

We are all touched by other people through out our lives. People come in to teach us a lesson, to offer us help, to inspire us, or to make us mindful of who
we are and what we are doing in life. 


This month we ask each person to bring and share a story of someone who has touched your life and effected a positive change (whether they meant to
 or not) . We will share our stories and then create prayer flags as a group to offer a blessing of gratitude in that person's honor. These flags will then be
 hung in front of the store to blow in the wind and carry out those blessings on the wind. We will then hang the flags outside our store to send the blessings 
to that person for the up and coming year. 


Please bring your personal stories- we will supply the fabric, markers, and string for the flags.

Please RSVP as soon as you can so we know the quantity of supplies to bring.

Not practiced in awhile? Confidence a little shaky? Demands of life lowering your energy? Why not take some time for yourself and re-connect to Reiki…

In the words of William Rand, "A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats body, emotions, mind
 and spirit, and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation, and feelings of peace, security &well-being… sensing the presence of Spiritual Beings,
 feeling their touch, knowing they work with you...being raised into ever greater levels of joy and peace by simply placing your hands on another…watching
 your life grow as your continual immersion in Reiki transforms your attitudes, values and beliefs." 


The evening includes a centering meditation, sending distance Reiki to those in need, and hands-on for each other. Suzanne offers an intuitive perspective
on practicing, based on Japanese Reiki techniques.

own personal team of power animals and spirit teachers. All will be taught the traditional 
journey technique so we may "fly" as a community. 
Each circle flows in accordance to the needs of every participant and the Earth's cycles. 
While at times only journeywork is needed, other times the circle is called to participate in 
other forms of healing work for each other or our Mother Earth. 
Please bring: a notebook and pen, blanket or pillow to sit on, a scarf to cover your eyes, and 
drums and/or rattles if you have them. Extra drums and rattles will also be supplied if needed. 
Come with open hearts and experience healing with community. Let us weave our individual threads 
together into a masterpiece!

The Cry of the 30th Aethyr which is Called TEX.
Class & Ritual Working
OPEN EVENT - 2:00 pm
Part I
Overview and Theory:
LIBER XXX AERUM Vel Saecvli Svb Figvra CCCCXVIII
Being of the Angels of the 30 Æthyrs:
THE VISION AND THE VOICE by THE MASTER THERION
Presentation of The Vision and the Voice (Liber 418) chronicling the
mystical journey of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) as he explored the 30
Enochian Æthyrs originally developed by Dr. John Dee and Edward Kelly
in the 16th Century. These visions took place at two times: in 1900
during his stay in Mexico, and later in 1909 in Algeria (along with
his magical companion, Victor Neuburg). Of all his works, Crowley
considered this book to be second in importance behind The Book of the
Law, the text that established his religious and philosophical system
of Thelema in 1904.
The Vision and the Voice is the source of many of the central
spiritual doctrines of Thelema, especially in the visions of Babalon
and her consort Chaos (the "All-Father"), as well as an account of how
an individual ego might cross the Abyss, thereby assuming the title of
"Master of the Temple" and taking a place in the City of the Pyramids
under the Night of Pan.
Part II
Enochian Ritual Working:
The Cry of the 30th Æthyr which is Called TEX
"Exordium of the Equinox of the Gods."
"The first attempts to obtain these visions were made in 1900, in
Mexico, where FRATER PERDURABO had journeyed in his efforts to obtain
a perfect understanding of the mystic traditions and methods of
attainment of every race and clime. The first two Aires were
investigated on November 14 and 17, 1900. The Vision and the Voice was
mysterious and terrific in character. But what he saw was not
altogether beyond his previous experiences; what he heard was as
unintelligible to him as William Blake to a 7th Day Adventist. He was
encouraged by the evident importance of these results, but found that
he was absolutely unable to proceed with the 28th Aethyr. It became
evident, some 9 years later, that what stopped his further exploration
of the Aethyrs in 1900 was simply that his Grade did not entitle him
to go further than the 29th. In fact only a Master of the Temple, 8x =
3{square x}, can penetrate beyond a certain point, and further, as
sections of the Comment point out, even a Master of the Temple cannot
pierce through the veils surrounding the outer of these Aires."
A practicum of sorts, we will begin the work performed by the Master
Therion. It is planned to continue the full set of Æthyrs this coming
year since it will be the centennial for the majority of this Work.
Note: If you have a scrying implement (e.g., black mirror, crystal
ball, etc.) feel free to bring this with you â€" although this is not
mandatory.

MAGICKAL KNOWLEDGE SERIES II:
The I-CHING or Book of Changes
OPEN EVENTâ€" 2:00 pm
Fra. D.S.W. invites you to join him in an interactive exploration of
the Yi King: The Book of Changes; the ancient Chinese oracle.
This presentation will include an overview of the history, symbolism
and methods of deriving the 64 Hexagrams of the Yi King. We will also
explore how it was utilized by Aleister Crowley, its application to
Thelemic Magick and examine how Crowley correlated the Yi King with
the Hebrew Qabalistic Tree of Life thus forming a link between the
foundations of Eastern and Western magic.

Manifesting your 2009 Intentions w/ Denise Hoagland
Event Details: Every year most of us have visions of making changes on New Year's Day. Some 
of the most common goals are; quitting smoking, loosing weight, trying to be kinder, attempting 
to get a new job or position, moving, changing a career, finding a relationship. 
Completing these goals are often never carved in stone to actually make the commitment. 
In this workshop we will focus on the goal or goals for 2009 during a guided meditation 
facilitated by Denise Hoagland. We will then complete a tree of goals for you to take home. 
We will cast a spell to seal the fate of the goals. Keeping a commitment is a journey that needs 
to be seeded before it sprouts. Please bring a goal in mind, something comfortable to sit on, 
mat or scarf to cover your eyes.

Heal The Healer's Circle


Hosted By: Denise Saracco/Peaceful Paths

When: Jan. 17th. 2009
Where: Butler, New Jersey

Category: Public Circle
What to Bring: Notebook/Pen, blanket/cushion to lie on

Price/Donation: $20.00

Heal The Healer's Circle

Event Details: Heal The Healers Circle

Date: Saturday, January 17th, 2009
Time: 12:00 Noon – 2:00pm
Held At: Peaceful Paths, 7 High Street, Butler, NJ 07405
Cost: $20.00

This circle has been created to support healers of all modalities. Healers have precious gifts
they share with the world. In these times of rapid and profound change, the healers are often 
the first to feel the effects. Changes can create temporary imbalances within us. The energy 
shifts can leave us feeling frustrated, confused, cloudy-minded, and alone. 


We are not alone. As the winds stir up the dusty wounds within ourselves and others, this is a
time to gather together, to forge a strong, supportive, loving community where we can lean on 
each other in times of need. This is a time of joining hearts as One and support one another on 
our unique paths as Healers.


This circle has been called to discuss some very real challenges faced by the healers, as well
as provide a sacred space for personal healing, growth, awareness, and community. Those in need

It has evolved into an evening where all the participants bring and play drums, rattles, flutes or whatever type of instrument you wish and while we are collaboratively playing, the spirit of the drum bring forth healing energy to the group.


When we, as a community, drum together, sharing our spirit in the form of rhythm, it changes our relationships for the positive. As we play together, we give ourselves an emotional release and a healing. The release and healing is different for every person that is in the rhythm circle.


People of all levels of musical expertise are welcome in our community drum circle and share their rhythmical spirit with whatever drums and percussion you bring to the event. You don’t have to be a trained drummer to participate.

In these classes we will work with fresh and dried herbs, making tinctures, liniments, oils, syrups, salves, and more! Robin Rose will share some of her favorite recipes and most effective remedies.

PAMPERED CHEF FUNDRAISER:

PLEASE HELP MERILYN!!

Merilyn, a 3 year old German Shepherd/Chow Mix (picture attached), was involved in a tragic accident a few months ago with a lawn mower, and needs your help to pay his vet bills!

Initially the costs for surgery to save his leg, and ultimately his life, were very high, and the ongoing care continues with costs every couple of weeks until he regains his health. The damage was extensive: he severed his sciatic nerve & Achilles tendon, and shattered the bone in his foot. They fused the severed nerve and tendon, but he has no use of the foot since the bone was shattered.

We are glad to report that he is responding beautifully to treatment, and although a complete recovery is highly unlikely, the vet insures us that he will be able to get around and be a loving pet for many, many years to come.

However, there is still a balance and more expenses as the next few months unfold. "Mom" and "Dad" would appreciate any help you could give them towards Merilyn's recovery.
