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.

*PLANETARY MAGIC FOR BEGINNERS*
_“When is the best time to light this spell candle?”
“What planet/ energy is good to work with if I’m doing a spell to sell my property?”
“How do you make Moon Water?”
“In my Natal Chart, Venus is in detriment, can I still do magic around love?”
“What is a Mercury Retrograde, and why do they say not to do magic during one?”
“What is the most potent thing to manifest on an eclipse?”If these questions sound like ones you’ve asked before, or you have questions along those lines, and you wish to know more, this may be a class series for you.
Oftentimes, the goal of a magical practitioner is to craft spells and workings intended to improve the quality of one’s lifestyle, surroundings, or interpersonal connections through creating, or compelling, stability, expansion, ease and success with specific outcomes and various endeavors. A particular way of approaching this is through Planetary Magic – a form of sympathetic, magical practices centered around harnessing the energies and influence associated with the planets. Many would say that the key to unlocking these cosmic influences lies within the understanding of astrology.
Astrology is a cosmology – the language of the stars. And, as it turns out, like learning any language, it is remarkably intimidating and overwhelming to study, as there are a multitude of concepts, techniques, interpretive considerations, and even math, which one has to tackle for even an ounce of it to “sink in.” And while one would find that a true study and understanding of astrology has its roots in every ancient cosmological perspective, if you are someone with little to no knowledge about astrology, know that should never be a hinderance or limitation to cultivating a magical connection or praxis with any of the celestial bodies. As with every magical practice you have to start somewhere, and Planetary Magic is an accessible path worth exploring.
In this 4-week class series, we will discuss foundational concepts in astrology which relate to a basic understanding and practice of planetary magic. We will endeavor to explore and piece together several techniques and perspectives that will be useful in expanding your magical practice. In other words, this is a class intended for an absolute beginner – no previous astrological study is necessary. And, the goal of this class is to introduce you to the world of astrology through simple practices and perspectives that don’t require years of systemic knowledge or sophisticated math. Planetary Magic is not only a wonderful way to connect to celestial energies, but also a practical and fascinating approach to spellcrafting.
Topics throughout the series include:
– Planetary Significations & Correspondences
(This involves concepts which help you determine what the most appropriate ingredients for your spells can be.)
– Planetary Attunement & Remediation
(Techniques in connecting to planetary energies, while learning how to make challenging transits work for you – not against you.)
– Magical Timing
(Identifying the most auspicious times to dispatch your spells to achieve results you want.)
– Spellcrafting Techniques
(Practical ways of working with various crafting materials, creating sigils, and employing planetary spirits towards your magic.)
– and much more.Please come to class prepared with whatever items you need for notetaking. Throughout the series I will also be providing you with additional study materials (PDFs of the class PowerPoint Presentations, Reference Guides, Worksheets, Charts, and Tables.
