Australian Magick & Paganism

This is a page for all of the links about Australian Magick and Paganism events and info I can find. I'm particularly interested in networking information i.e. local groups, gatherings, festivals, etc. If you have any suggestions for my list don't hesitate to let me know via email.

Gatherings and Events

http://www.magickhappens.com.au/ - "A Celebration of Witchcraft & Paganism." The event has workshops, lectures, shops, stalls, some entertainment etc. Not enormous yet, but not bad for getting an idea of some of the local pagan/magick groups in the area. There are Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne events I believe.

http://pagan.drak.net/publinks/network.htm - Pagans in the Pub Network. Meetings usually every 2 weeks at a local pub - check directory listings for times and places.

http://www.mindbodyspiritfest.com/ - For Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide

http://mitakuyeoyasin.org/ - "Mitakuye Oyasin Inc. is a Canberra pagan group which aims to promote awareness and acceptance of pagan religions in the general community, to foster an attitude of religious tolerance, and to support and assist members of the pagan community wherever possible. Mitakuye is currently planning its third annual gathering - Gateway 2003 - to be held in Canberra over the Australia Day long weekend. Gateway is intended to be a celebration of the diversity of paganism - a chance for all paths to come together to share beliefs and practices in a supportive environment. It is intended to be a forum for learning and growth, as well as celebration."
