What we’re about
Welcome to the grass roots, people-powered, community calendar of events for the Witches & Pagans Community in Los Angeles!
There are several new, important differences between this and most other Meetups. The most important difference is that from now on ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS ARE WELCOME TO CREATE AND ANNOUNCE MEETUP EVENTS - as soon as you send a request to be upgraded to Event Organizer status by sending a request to member, Krystal Rains. (click on members, and search for her name)
Due to the recent change in status/spammer ownership, there does appear to be one remaining change. It looks likes Meetup.com altered their policies regarding open calendars, such that groups started after 2014 are not able to allow all members to post events. Instead, admins can upgrade any member to "Event Organizer" status, allowing them to create, edit, and delete their own events as they like. When our meetup changed hands our page changed to the new model.
You can read about Meetup's policy here: Member Suggest Meetups. "
EVERY SINGLE COMMUNITY MEMBER can post ANY EVENT you like on the new Community Calendar - As soon as you request Event Organizer status due to the changes on Meetup.com (see above) - And you can even announce it yourself immediately the entire community without approval as well.
Here is - step by step - how to create a grass roots Meetup event on the Community Calendar:
1. Join the Community.
2. Go to the members, search for Krystal Rains and request to be made an "Event Organizer"
3. Event Organizers may add Meetups by filling out the 'Let's Meetup and...' form
4. Meetups added by Event Organizers are turned into official Meetups immediately.
5. Event Organizer-added Meetups with a date selected will appear on the Calendar
6. Event Organizer-added Meetups without a date selected will appear only on the 'Upcoming' Meetups list on the Meetup Group's home page
7. The Event Organizer who adds the Meetup may choose to announce the Meetup to the Meetup Group's members immediately.
Finally, the community mailing list is currently moderated, but informative messages will be approved to reach the entire community!
Please Use the Message Boards for ongoing conversations.
These are powerful community building tools. Please use them responsibly.
This is our community. Let's nurture and care for it.

Broom & Mill of the Witch-Blood HYBRID series with Griffin & Carrie
The Green Man Store, 824 North Hollywood Way,, Burbank, CA, USBroom & Mill of the Witch-Blood
A Nine-Week Hybrid Series with Griffin & Carrie
Starts Oct 14th 2025
CLASS WILL SKIP TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4TH
As we come into the Witchy Season, here we go again with the ultimate Initiate Witch experience series. In years past this one has become known as the series that truly pushes the way people craft! The Witch-Blood Series is different each time it has been presented, as has been the Broom and Mill Series. Last year, it made sense to find a new way to present the Witch-Blood that could also work as a Hybrid Series, allowing folks further away to be able to experience this Key Traditional Witchcraft Series.
Another popular Series we have presented is the Broom & Mill, which is a Series based on a presentation of a series of Key Witchcraft material as it is tethered to the Witch’s Compass. The Compass of Winds, brings order to the Winds of Creation, as the Spirits or Breath of the Dragons, as realms arranged upon a Compass Rose. This is a Traditional Witchcraft Cosmology system that differs from the Ceremonial Based elemental system, and is employed as the working construct of Sacred space, that a Traditional Witch uses to bring the working communion between the witch and the Spirits and Gods, as needed for the Old Arte.
Each year we have worked both Series as it may reflect the world about us, helping us to awaken the Legacy within our Witch-Blood as it may aid us in our work and navigate the world about us.
This year we will again bring the two series together and reflecting the world about us, seek deeper insight and clarity into how our Witch-Blood Legacy, as it is arranged about the Compass, may be claimed and employed.
This Series is designed for those who have taken classes with us before and are familiar with the type of Traditional Witchcraft we teach, the basic forms and practices as well as the witch’s compass. Starting with a classroom section to address the subject matter each week, we will then move to a Vision Quest format to delve deeper into the material & Legacy in a more one on one, personal manner.
This series takes us on a 9 weeks journey of practical personal insights in search of the Witch-Fire of Cunning and power that dwells within. During this time we will also cover background lore and associated info with many Craft subjects, focusing mainly on how to practically apply the Witchcraft Legacy in today’s world as Witches and Seekers of the Old Craft living in the world of today. In simple terms, this Series is about how to claim the power of the Witch living this world today. What is asked of those working this series is to come with a willingness to take on the work in earnest. However, as the format will be Vision Work, each person will be able to take the work only as far as they feel moved to do.
Together we will draw from the Spirit Flame within your Blood and from our decades of experience and teaching of British Traditional Witchcraft, to awaken the Draconic Witch-Fire within you and the cosmos about you!
We will be covering many of the fundamental subjects in British Trad Craft that we have covered before, but this time with a focus on practical application and delivery of the goal through the awakening of those Witch-Blood gifts from within.
This will be an advanced level series rooted in the specific style and approach towards British Trad Craft that we have been teaching over the past years. As such we will have to limit this class to only those who have taken Witchcraft Classes with me before! Please contact the store if you are unsure of what this means.
We will be doing some powerful workings in these classes. So salty snacks for grounding will be a must for each class.
Videos will be available for a short time on the Mighty Network for those who register for the full series.
IN PERSON STUDENTS: The cost for whole series, paid in advance, is $228. Single class is $33.
ZOOM STUDENTS: The cost for whole series, paid in advance, is $183. Single class is $28.
**PLEASE NOTE: Payments for all Events, Classes, and Rituals at The Green Man are non-refundable.**

Join us on Zoom for a Salon lecture "Reincarnation: Greco-Roman, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Christian Perspectives" for Ipso Facto by Dr. James Rietveld on Thursday, December 11, 8 pm..
Reincarnation When we hear the word reincarnation, we often think about Eastern Religions, in particular Hinduism and Buddhism among others, but rarely do we think about the Greeks and Romans or some Jews and early Christians believing this particular mortal life is not all that there is, but that the soul continues and enters into further lifetimes within a literal physical body.
Together we will investigate beliefs in reincarnation within the contexts of both the East and the West.
We will decipher the very first evidence for such beliefs, and offer explanations for why they developed (or were realized depending on your perspective).
You will journey all over the world, including the Americas, comparing different perspectives on reincarnation.
You will realize there’s more diversity to beliefs regarding living multiple lifetimes then is commonly taught!
This lecture will be from an academic historical point-of-view, not a faith-based perspective, so whatever your beliefs on this topic, you are welcome at this informative and entertaining talk!
This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903
Dr. James Rietveld is a professor at CSU, Fullerton and Cal Poly Pomona, CA of History, Anthropology, Religion with a PHD from Claremont School of Religion, is author of two books, and can be seen on History channel's "Crazy Rich Ancients."1 attendee
