This is a memorandum on the occasion of the upcoming WIRD meeting.
On paganism:
Paganism is a collective term which encompasses traditional belief systems based on pre-christian mythologies and metaphysical world views driven by the concept of magic. Individual pagan practices are often hybrid in nature, pulling from many different sources.
Relation to other religions:
Other religions are typically regarded as a source of inspiration for individual ritual work. For historical reasons there are some tensions with the Christian churches, which have claimed copyrights on pagan festivals like Yule (Christmas) or Ostara (Easter).
What we can contribute to WIRD will strongly depend on the nature of the meetings. Let’s see…

Dear all,
I would like to invite you to the first social of the Pagan society in this year. We will have it on the thursday evenning (8pm), which is the 1st of march. For a location I suggest the Inspires Cafe in Coventry. Let me know if you intend to come so I get an idea of numbers.
Since the last meeting is quite a while back, I will set no specific discussion topic. Although I might have some things to report from the meeting of the WIRD (warwick inter faith round table) meeting which is held this week. =) Also let me know in case you are interested to represent the Pagan society at this meeting with me.
Hope to see you at the social if not before!
Rik

They society will reconvene in april to discuss matters around the upcoming high festival of Beltane [ wiki ] [ BBC ] .
Time and location were 1st of may in the City Arms in Earlsdon. (was arranged last minute so I had no time to update it here).
On the name Beltane: Wiki . Old gaelic or irish, meaning something like "bright fire".
On the gods: By Belenos! By Belisama!
And via paganweb:
Appropriate Deities for Beltane include all Virgin–Mother Goddesses, all Young Father Gods, all Gods and Goddesses of the Hunt, of Love, and of Fertility. Some Beltane Goddesses to mention by name here include Aphrodite, Arianrhod, Artemis, Astarte, Venus, Diana, Ariel, Var, Skadi, Shiela–na–gig, Cybele, Xochiquetzal, Freya, and Rhiannon. Beltane Gods include Apollo, Bacchus, Bel/Belanos, Cernunnos, Pan, Herne, Faunus, Cupid/Eros, Odin, Orion, Frey, Robin Goodfellow, Puck, and The Great Horned God.
On traditions etc., due to lack of time I just link to this article , which is a bit arbitrary though, since google spits out a lot..
Anyway, the next meeting will be on Satanism wiki.

Follow-up to Meeting on Tarot from Pagan Society
… discussion Tarot and other things..
.. good night with some card reading and discussion. Special thanks to Cristina for excellent divinatory services =)
I may briefly comment on the healthy scepticicsm ot the scientific mind, which was expressed during the discussion.
Critic: The problem with using the Tarot cards to, say, increase awareness of your current life situation, desires, hidden confilicts or fears etc. is that
Tarot-advocate (me in this case): I believe that this critique is based on a difference in perspective. Tarot is a tool used on the grounds of the conviction, that your subjectivity and the nature of relationships with people are important in life. And it is exacly this realm that you aim to explore when working with Tarot cards or comparable tools. So a Tarot reading explicity builds upon personal reactions and interpretations of the cards.
And for the randomness, well, that is for everyone himself to decide =)
For that I'll quote some anecdote accredited to Niels Bohr, who had a horse shoe over his desk. One day a student asked if he really believed that a horse shoe brought luck. Professor Bohr replied, "I understand that it brings you luck if you believe in it or not."

Follow-up to Meeting on Tarot from Pagan Society
This wednesday we joined the highly interesting meeting of the Earth Spirit group in Coventry. They hold regular meetings every month typically featureing talks and discussions, but also including celebration of festivals like the spring equinox and participation at the Leamington Peace festival in June. So I believe we will be back.
That very meeting featured a talk and discussion about Crowley's Qabalah, moderated by a very competent speaker.
Here are some books recommendation for further reading:
Also two links on ritual work (Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram):
