This unusually cool and dry summer season has been a time of significant growth in our community. Most notably Sacred Paths on Raymond in St. Paul has been established by a number of Pagan professionals and entrepreneurs as a Pagan business incubator and intimate performance space. You can buy a membership which will give you a discount for merchandize, classses and services. Sacred Paths will also rent space for classes, consultation, and events. The site was previously the Twin Cities campaign headquarters for Obama, and the vibes are wonderful!

More established Pagan institutions are also b earing fruit: Sacred Harvest Fest promises to be an outstanding event -- again. UMPA is continuing their service projects; watch for news on that in September! CUUPS has opened their annual Labor Day weekend retreat in the woods to the Pagan public. SaraCura has created a new outlet for artisans and artists and other small businesses. (See story on our local arts page.)

Find out what else will be happening in the Pagan community by checking out our news and event pages.

The mission of Twin Cities Pagan News is

• to foster public Pagan worship;
• to promote the developmment of local Pagan institutions for advocacy, charity, mutual aid, and networking, such as Pagan Pride Day; and
• to faciltate people finding the groups whose culture best fit their needs and values.
  

Since 2001, this editor and our webmaster have been publicizing open to the public Pagan events for dozens of groups. Longevity is a good thing, but there's plenty of room for improvement, and we're looking for other folks to help make the magic happen.

TwinCities Pagan News is always looking for news stories about our Pagan community. We invite you to send them along with your comments and suggestions to the editor.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR MORE REPORTERS!
Write us if you'd like to join Grace as a regular reporter on local Pagan news. We're especially interested in an assistant editor with Dreamweaver or html experience and a reporter for local environmental activities, such as seed-sharing, participating in secular groups engaged in environmental care, guerilla gardening, and co-op gardening (Moonglow's yard, Gemini Jack's labor, and Caw_Crone's instruction).

IF YOU HAVE AN EVENT TO PUBICIZE
please send us the full details -- including price. We generally offer free publicity in our standard format if your event is free or for a small donation. Reciprocal publicity is rewarded with preferential placement and treatment. We reserve the right to edit or reject free ads.

If your class, program or event is generating income for presenters, we offer advertising at a nominal fee, to help sustain this service. Paid ads can contain your art and other special treatment. Paid advertising also receives preferential and sometimes multiple placement.
