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.

Glyphs of Power: A 6-Week Journey into Magical Alphabets
In this immersive 6-week course, we will explore the Norse Runes and Celtic Ogham—two powerful alphabets woven with sound and spirit. Through sound-based exploration, symbolic comparison, and Vision Quest we will explore the mysteries of these magical glyphs. A portion of each class will also briefly touch on comparisons with other magical alphabets to look for deeper synergies in the mysteries. Whether you’re an experienced practitioner or curious seeker, this course offers an exploration into ancestral connection through two potent magical languages of northern Europe.**PLEASE NOTE: Payments for all Events, Classes, and Rituals at The Green Man are non-refundable.**

When we hear the word “Mysticism,” different unique visions come to our minds—the ascent up the Tree of Life of the Kabbalah in Judaism, the whirling Dervishes of Rumi in Islam, the Apostle Paul’s blinding light upon the road to Damascus in early Christianity, the stigmata of St. Francis and visions of Hildegard of Bingen in Catholicism, the hesychast prayers of the faithful in Eastern Orthodoxy, the spiritual ascent of the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism and gurus of Hinduism, the ecstatic utterances of the Pythia at ancient Greek and Roman oracles, and the spirit possession of shamans, witchdoctors, and wise one from all over the world. The idea Mysticism appears to mean different things to different people at different periods of time, but are these ideas really so different? What are the connections between them all in the realm of their shared phenomenology, their perceived union with the ultimate reality through ecstatic and intuitive experience?
Join us as we venture into the cornucopia of mystical experiences throughout history within different beliefs and religions, dancing upon topics that are often never discussed and realizing threads of connectedness that may redefine your understandings of what Mysticism is all about, and, perhaps, you may have a mystic-like epiphany of your own!
This lecture will be posted on the Dr. James Rietveld Salon Lecture You Tube channel, where you can also watch previous lectures: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jamesrietveldsalonlectu2903Dr. 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."
