Cheltenham Pagan Moot

The Strand Wine Bar
High Street
Cheltenham
2nd Monday of the every month, 8pm - 10pm

The moot is primarily a social meet-and-greet, designed as an opportunity for local pagans to meet and get to know each other - although Elders of the different Traditions present often give a short (15-30 minute) talk on prearranged topics. There is normally also a small raffle - with fabulous prizes! (and to cover the costs of advertising, organising etc...)

Although the moot is not officially affiliated with any specific organisation, attendees are also members of both the Pagan Federation and the Children of Artemis - and will usually pass on information and news during the evening. Further details of the moot are advertised in both the PF's "Pagan Dawn" Journal, and the CoA's "Witchcraft and Wicca" magazine - together with local newsletters such as "Connections" - or contact Anj direct on: 07794 932210.

The Cotswold Pagan Society

For several years we were active members (co-founders and web-hosters) of the Cotswold Pagan Society - a cross-Tradition group that worked to provide simple, yet meaningful pan-pagan celebrations of the Wheel of the Year. Founder members came from the various Wiccan and Druid Traditions, and included both ourselves, Veronica Hammond (Arch Druid of the Cotswold Order of Druids), Keith Posner, Marion, Anj, Ann and John. The group was a great success and together we produced and co-led rituals for each Sabbat at the Rollright Stones in Oxfordshire, Clearwell caves in the Forest of Dean and Stonehenge.

Unfortunately, we are no longer actively involved in helping to organise the CPS events (mostly due to all our other commitments of Coven, family, work etc) - but Veronica is still organising some events under the Banner of the Cotswold Order of Druids. Details of both the Order and it's festival celebrations can be found at Twisted Tree
