Posted in Other, tagged , , , on July 29, 2013| Leave a Comment »

It has been decided… the Salt Lake Pagan Society will be meeting at Cafe Solstice inside Dancing Cranes Imports. After several weeks of searching for a new meeting place, Cafe Solstice came out triumphant. “With being a new age place, good food, prices, friend staff and the soon opening 700 E trolley line from TRAX, this was the ideal location. And with the addition of Dancing Cranes inside, it makes it easy to pick up supplies on a weekly basis” said President Muad’Dib. Come join us the starting on the second Sunday in August (August 11th) after Lughnasadh at our new location!

July 2013 Full Moon Ritual

Posted in magic, wicca, witchcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on July 21, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Thanks to all who came and joined in the July 2013 Full Moon ritual on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at 8pm. Being such a wonderful evening with a warm breeze, crickets and birds chirping and the setting of the sun in the west behind the Oquirrh Mountains, a small altar was set up outside.  Iyata Bond led the ritual and instructed everyone in the beginnings of the Women’s Mysteries. The ritual was opened with the usual LBRP, Rose Cross and Thor’s Hammer. Blessings from the Moon Goddess on the objects was performed, along with healing and other spell workings. A special scepter dedication was done by President Muad’Dib for his new Medusa scepter. Cakes and Wine were passed around and a special coconut cake was eaten as the late night snack. Next up Lughnasadh!

July 2013 Dark Moon Ritual

Posted in druidry, magic, occult, Pagan, wicca, witchcraft, tagged , , , , , on July 8, 2013| Leave a Comment »

A select, few, members of the pagan society gathered on Saturday, July 6, 2013 at 8pm to perform and work dark moon magic. Starting off with druid breathing exercises and grounding, then moved into the dark moon magic, which included a fire in the portable fire pit on the deck. “It was a perfect night to burn since the ground was damp and there was little chance of spreading fire through the wind,” said Lunar Oak Spirit. After the magical workings, thanks to the moon goddess and the dark lords such as Hades, Shiva and Osiris were presented. Pizza-hut pizza was the midnight snack while the Saturday night film pick was Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the perfect Pagan Movie followup!

Report-Beehive Tea Room Out of Business

Posted in Other, tagged , , on July 7, 2013| Leave a Comment »

The Pagan Society feels that it has lost a dear friend this week. The Beehive Tea Room is closed for business, forever. President Muad’Dib spoke with the owner Lisa and confirmed that she has closed the doors to the tea room and filed for bankruptcy. Lisa said “I tried to see if I had any more tricks in the hat and I didn’t. I couldn’t afford to keep going so I had to close.” The society is deeply saddened to lose its meeting place. The society started meeting at the Beehive Tea Room in May of 2010.

The society formed in October of 2009 with the idea popping up in August 2009 to get a group for college pagans at the U going. So this cozy, classy, and wonderful tea room supported the society through all its up and downs to this point. “We wish we could save the tea room, it’s been our haven and our special place for over three years now,” said President Muad’Dib. From their own website “After ten years we have decided to give up the struggle and close our doors forever. We thank everyone who has shared a cup of tea with us over the years. Cheers!” (www.beehivetearoom.com). SLPS will be hopping around locations on Sundays to find a new suitable home.

So far the list of places visited have been Toasters, Bad Ass Coffee, and Cafe Solstice. President Muad’Dib is also considering changing the time to 12 or 1pm to accommodate the not so early morning crowd. Many factors go into finding a new place from location, public transit access, menu, and feel. Details to follow, stay up to date right here on the only Pagan blog of Salt Lake City!
