SLPS was asked to read the tarot at the U’s Crimson Nights Friday, April 11, 2014 which was circus themed. SLPS was put in with the reptiles and read for free for over three hours to many different students. Although the Daily Utah Chronicle reported on Monday, April 14, 2014 that Crimson Nights was losing steaming, the tarot readings were still popular.

SLPS is pleased to announce that on April 1, 2014, we will be welcoming in as the new president Mr. Palpatine from Naboo. This is an exciting opportunity as Mr. Palpatine served as Chancellor of the Republic Senate and Emperor of the Galactic Empire for many years prior to his retirement from that post. He is highly skilled in the use of magic and even manifests the ability to shoot lighting from his hands. His hooded regalia and shadowy aura will fit well and bring in a fresh perspective with the new direction of SLPS. Inaugural ceremonies will be held at 7pm in his throne room in the Salt Lake Temple. All hail Palpatine!
Utah State University Pagan Alliance (USUPA) Back in the Void

It is with sad hearts that we report the folding of our wonderful sister group Utah State University Pagan Alliance. Over the last two years since Kassie Cressall graduated, USUPA has had periods of inactivity, and as SLPS reported last year, had come back from the void under a new president. The old president Kassie posted on March 19, 2014 on their “We are no longer an active club on campus. If you are interested in joining the USUPA or renewing it please contact Kassie at kjcressall AT gmail DOT com. She is happy to answer all questions, point you towards currently active groups, and guide you thru the USU club process. Thank you to all club members, leadership, and supporters over the past three years. You made USU history by being part of the first Pagan Alliance in Logan, Utah”
Being such a small place, we hope all the members of USUPA find a new resource and group for spirituality in Logan, UT

A few members and guests of SLPS gathered last night Friday, March 21, 2014 to prepare the eggs for Ostara 2014. At first the brown eggs appeared to present a challenge of if the dye would stick, but it sure did! Some beautiful eggs are now waiting to be presented to the Goddess and eaten in sacred Ostara egg salad! There was even a black egg! The other plastic eggs hold wildflower seeds read to be sown into the barren Earth in symbol of the returning life of spring time.

The Society exhibit “A Look at Paganism: Beliefs and Culture of the Neopagan Community” that was held at the J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah ran from January 17- March 16. It was an enormous success! All the hard work paid off. 8 people came together donating items or approving of their use for display in the wall cases at the library. It was headed, organized, and proposed to the exhibition committee by President Cureton. All the explanatory cards were also written by President Cureton. Sections included (As pictured in level one) music, art, literature, crafts, (as pictured in level 2) films, Pagan deities, (top half) Magical Arts and Sciences, (bottom half) Jewelry, and ritual items.
Louise Poulton of the exhibition committee said the application was “very well written and put together.” A few of the members of the committee said they were very impressed with the display and that it received only positive feedback. Many students and guests stopped to look at the different displays and contemplate Paganism. It was one of the highest trafficked exhibitions to date!
The reserve desk on level two, which is next door to the display cases also reported many people stopping to look at the displays. SLPS is so happy that it succeed that there is a plan in the works to have the exhibition go to other schools and universities to teach people about Paganism. Currently Salt Lake Community College Library and the library at Utah Valley University are the best places. Here are photos from the exhibition.

Posted in Other, Tarot, Vending, tagged Belly Dancing, festival, Salt Lake Pagan Society, Spring Fest 2014, tarot reading, Thia on March 10, 2014| Leave a Comment »
SLPS had a wonderful time doing $5 tarot at the 13th Annual Belly Dance Festival by Thia at the Utah State Fairground on Saturday, March 1, 2014, in North Salt Lake. The festival ran from 10am to 10pm. It included various vendors, belly dance troupes, music, and shows. As the day went on, the more well know and advanced troupes performed, leading up to the grand performance at 10pm. SLPS though, after nine hours of tarot and forty readings, dancing, and music, packed up and headed to dinner at the Rio Grand at 8pm for the cilantro chicken!
