Pagans, Witches Gather For Potluck Picnic
Dozens of pagans and witches from all over San Diego and Orange counties gathered at Martin Luther King Jr. Park in Oceanside for a potluck picnic Sunday.
The event, organized jointly by the Networking North County Coastal Pagans and the Orange County Pagan and Witches Meet Up Group, was a chance for members of both groups to meet, mingle and get to know people with similar beliefs and interests.
Paganism essentially describes "any nature-oriented form of spirituality, with the exception of Native Americans," said Ryan Smith, 21, a Palomar College student who helped organize Sunday's picnic.
Pagans include Wiccans, Shamans and those who follow practices of ancient cultures that existed prior to Christianity, such as Druids and Celts. Pagans believe in multiple deities as opposed to one God, and celebrate eight holidays, or Sabbats, each year. Full Story
