FETICH SORCERY IN LA COULEUVRE NOIRE: Explorations within a System
Treadwell's Bookshop, 34 Tavistock St., Covent Garden WC2E 7PB

David Beth of La Couleuvre Noire
7.15 for 7.30 start. £5.

Michael Bertiaux (b. 1935) is amongst the most challenging magical practitioners and innovators that the twentieth century produced. His personalised interpretation of Haitian voudon influenced by Martinism; his 1960s counterculture explorations; his Thelema; his psychelelic tantra - all are driven by an idiosyncratic but visionary philosophical and artistic creativity. British occultist Kenneth Grant wrote about him in several of his works, and so further extended Bertiaux's fame even beyond the bewildering Voudon Gnostic Workbook. Associated with his circle is the magical order 'La Couleuvre Noire', founded by Lucien-Francois Jean Maine, an order of esoteric voodoo which has been enriched and given a recent prominence in Europe by David Beth, who currently lives in the UK but who travels extensively in South America and the Continent. Beth brings explanatory clarity, a wealth of personal experience, and comprehensive expertise on the LCN (he is author of Voudon Gnosis. published by Scarlet Imprint, 2008). Tonight he will speak on a strand of its workings which he himself developed: fetich sorcery, and he will expand upon what he wrote on the subject in Voudon Gnosis. Treadwell's is pleased and honoured to welcome him back in our series magical practitioners' evenings.

THE OCCULT IN LATE VICTORIAN & EDWARDIAN LITERATURE: Some Reflections on Belief
Treadwell's Bookshop, 34 Tavistock St., Covent Garden WC2E 7PB

Elisa Gray of Lincoln College
7.15 for a 7.30 start. £5.

The occult featured heavily in the fiction of the late 19th century and in the early years of the 20th; moreover, a good number of practising occultists wrote stories, poems and novels. This is well known but this talk takes it deeper: Elisa Gray looks into just how English occult authors reflected upon their own beliefs, and how they expressed these beliefs in their artistic creations. She picks out a few luminaries for particular discussion, namely Yeats and Crowley - where she focusses on their poetry. Algernon Blackwood's beliefs on the supernatural are considered, as well. Most excitingly, a leading woman of the Golden Dawn, namely 'new woman' Florence Farr, is examined: the speaker looks at her writing and occultism - and how reveals her influence upon decadent advocates such as Aubrey Beardsley and Oscar Wilde. The speaker, Elisa Gray, is a doctoral student at Lincoln College, working on decadent literature.

Friday 17 July to Tuesday 21 July 2009
“UNITING HEAVEN AND EARTH” – The Living Tradition of the Céile Dé
Chalice Well, Chilkwell Street, Glastonbury, Somerset, BA6 9EG

Céile DéThis earliest manifestation of Celtic Christianity is rooted in a Native reverence for The Mother… Earth… as She ever-births The Incarnation in our surrendered hearts. This inner journey takes us through Nature and the Divinities of the Celtic Otherworld, beyond what our imagination will ever conceive, into the realms of the Unknowable One, who wants to break our hearts, so that we might find the Beloved there - and dissolve at last into the No-thingness beyond all things...

This living tradition is at once, lyrical, mythopoeic, esoteric and deeply devotional. It seeks balance at all times between the need for earthly, psychological and mystical development. It has at its heart a deep faith in and celebration of the transformative power of Love.

This introductory workshop will explore some of the philosophy of the tradition and its application in real life. There will also be experiential work:

  • Learn about Céile Dé's contemplative practices
  • Explore some of the mythology and philosophy of the tradition.
  • Learn ancient Gaelic sacred Chants.
  • And other spiritual practices, that work with and honour the beautiful land all around us.

Ongoing Community: Newcomers will have the opportunity to consider further, ongoing teachings and practices within a newly formed group that will offer a powerful container for those who seek a path that invites commitment and openness to real inner change.

Saturday 18 July 2009
PAGANISM, EDUCATION AND THE ACADEMY - Conference
The Festival of the Edge, Wenlock Edge, Shropshire

EUROPEAN PAGAN ACADEMIC AND EDUCATION NETWORK (EUROPAEN)
THE PAGAN ACADEMIC NETWORK (PAN)
Welcomes you to an educational conference.

The conference is about all aspects of paganism and how they are studied and taught in the UK and internationally, particularly but not exclusively in the British Isles. It is being held as part of the Festival of the Edge to enable delegates to hopefully explore wonderful storytelling events on display, as well as the wonderful scenery of Wenlock Edge. Paganism has a great deal of overlap with the oral tradition, since its sacred traditions pre-date the invention of writing (c. 3000 BC) by at least 100,000 years! It is often in the stories and myths and legends that are handed down orally from generation to generation that pagan knowledge was and is still transmitted. The earliest human habitation in the Shropshire hills goes back possibly a very long way – in nearby Wales the earliest human remains were found at Pontnewydd Cave in the River Elwy valley dating back 230,000 years! What religious paths did these our ancestors follow? What faiths inspired them on their long journey to here and now? Wenlock Edge itself dates back to between 410 and 355 million years ago. In the face of such immense epochs of time, contemporary humanity surely needs to cultivate a degree of humility and cease our religious wars and conflicts, and consider the wisdom of the Elders of mankind with reverence.

We are inviting any academics, teachers and educators in the UK who are either known as practicing pagans, or who have an academic interest in paganism as a field of study, interpreted in the broadest sense of the term. Topics addressed could include the study and practice of : Druidry, Wicca, shamanism, prehistoric religions, Classical Greek and Roman religions, Egyptian, Slavonic, Germanic, Norse and Anglo-Saxon religions, Amerindian religion, African, Polynesian, Indian and Asian religions etc. It is the purpose of the conference to advance scholarship and study into all aspects of paganism and to promote a healthy debate about the contributions of paganism to world civilisation and culture. In a world where religion is too often a force for polarization and conflict, we are keen to understand the creative overlap between faith communities and to explore the way that ancient oral pagan traditions often underlie the more recent revealed religions. Teachers interested in paganism and in reviewing the status of paganism on the national curriculum and in the statutory provision for Religious Education are also welcome and invited to attend.
One possible outcome might be to investigate the idea of establishing a Pagan School and / or College somewhere in Britain or Europe, and to explore the practicality of so doing. The conference is open to all educators already working either within official education systems, or those working within other educational structures and projects outside the mainstream educational world. Another question is to investigate the status of pagan studies within the national curriculum and specifically within the religious education syllabus currently on offer in schools in the UK and throughout Europe.

Several distinguished educators, and pagan thinkers have been invited to speak and to submit their views on the conference theme. In addition we are issuing a call for the submission of papers from practicing academics and educators throughout Britain and abroad interested in advancing knowledge and research into any aspect of a paganism and education in the broadest senses of the term. Students and scholars from all departments and faculties of learning are welcome, not exclusively from the fields of religious studies scholarship.

This event is also being held as part of IIPSGP’s celebration of the bicentenary of Darwin’s birth, he being born nearby in Shrewsbury in 1809.
An article was published in the Pagan Federation Journal in 2007 concerning the work of PAN, which is reproduced below to give further information on the background to this conference.

A day entrance ticket to the Festival also brings entry to the PAN Conference itself which runs from 1-4pm. The event is taking place at Stokes Barn, which is near to Much Wenlock, off the A458, Shrewsbury to Bridgnorth Road in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

PAGAN ACADEMIC NETWORK (P.A.N): A Project in the making By Thomas Daffern

This new academic network has been established to fulfil a need long felt to be lacking in educational circles. It will provide an academic forum for interested researchers and teachers involved in all aspects of paganism to network with one another. It will also work to achieve full representation and consultative responsibility for Pagan academics and educators on curriculum governance and planning authorities at local, national and international levels, as a faith tradition of equal status to the other faith traditions sharing our multicultural world. It will aim to achieve recognition for pagan studies as an important part of the religious education tradition at both school and University level. Similarly in terms of interfaith work, where we seek to restore official recognition to indigenous traditions and pagan faiths of all regions worldwide, including European and ancient pagan traditions native to the British Isles and Ireland. One of the long term aims of the Pagan Academic Network is to see the eventual establishment of an officially recognised Pagan College or school within the education sector in the U.K. We are pleased to work with other colleagues and organisations towards this long term end. We also act as a contact point for international scholarship in the field of Pagan Studies and welcome the work of members who can take on board the correspondence with pagan scholars in other cultures and traditions overseas. Our vision is that the work of PAN can assist the redefinition and reclamation of a purified and responsible form of pagan spirituality, in harmony with nature and other spiritual and religious paths, helping to bridge the gap between scientific and spiritual learning, and to restore harmony between masculine and feminine modes of knowing.

WHAT IS PAGANISM?
Semantically speaking, anyone who lives in the countryside, or who has an interest in rural matters and a love of nature qualifies as a Pagan (which comes from the Latin word for a country-dweller)! The definition of what exactly constitutes paganism is itself evolving, but for a working definition we mean those original spiritual and philosophical teachings and traditions which constitute the primal faiths of all humanity, descended from Palaeolithic times, through the Neolithic revolution and the beginnings of urban communities. There is no such thing as a central "dogma" or revealed code of belief which unites all pagans into a central belief; rather, there are certain general clusters of belief and practice: such as the inherent dignity and value of all life; a belief in the spiritual integrity of individual human beings, and the right of freedom of worship and spiritual practice; a love of the female and male equally, as both worthy of reverence and love; a pluralism and tolerance of different philosophical positions without needing to discover a centralising totalitarian "truth". Pagan communities were also the first to develop most of the characteristics we associate with "civilisation": agriculture, temples, houses, communications, writing systems, metallurgy, pottery, animal husbandry, language, hunting, prayer and spiritual worship, painting, music, dance, erotica and the arts of beauty, education and learning, schools and colleges etc. Among cultures and traditions which have their essence and origin in pagan thought are the following: Latin, Greek, Celtic, Scandinavian and Germanic, Phoenician, Canaanite, Ancient Semitic, Sumerian, Egyptian, African, Arabian, Indian, Amerindian, Shamanic Central Asian, Tibetan, Polynesian, Melanesian, Japanese (Shinto), Traditional Chinese (Taoist). Many of the great philosophical and spiritual traditions of humanity evolved out of pagan roots, and in more modern religions such as Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism, Bahai etc. it is often possible to catch glimpses of their more ancient heritage. In relative terms, the "revealed" textual religions of humanity are all very recent, none older than a few thousand years of direct transmission, with their texts all dating from within this time, although traditionally they see their own origins as far older in a blurred mythological past. The relationship between paganism and revealed religions, and textual and oral traditions, is therefore of great interest to P.A.N. as modern scholarship tends to see far less a distinction in belief and practice than once was the case, in the times of persecution. All revealed religions have an esoteric core component which often shows greater affinity to pagan belief and practices, including a greater respect for the divine feminine, for oral transmission in addition to textual transmission of knowledge, and for the principles of peace, tolerance and spiritual harmony, than is the case in fundamentalist and literalist schools of thought. Indeed, it is the rise of the literalist and traditionalist schools of fundamentalist religion which always spells particularly bad news for Pagan scholars. After all it was the “founder” of pagan academia, Plato, who understood that allegory, symbols and metaphor are at the foundations of religions, and thus those allegories, symbols and metaphors are about discovering the truth behind religious scriptures rather than about the literal truth of the text.

WHO IS P.A.N. DESIGNED FOR?
People who are following a particular modern Pagan or pagan influenced tradition, and are involved in academic study, at whatever level, whether studying or teaching at University, or whether engaged in private research and writing - such paths could include, some or several of the following: the Goddess path, Shamanism, mysticism, Wicca & Witchcraft, Runes and oracles; Egyptian religion, Celtic religion, Druidry, neo-Classical traditions (Greek, Latin, Etruscan, Cretan, Scythian etc.), Indo-European studies, Semitic traditions, alchemy, Gnosticism, Rosicrucianism and esoteric Christianity, Freemasonry, Theosophy, Anthroposophy, Magic, Taoism, Yoga and Hinduism, Kabbalah and Judaism, Sufism and Islam, Zoroastrianism, Shinto, Spiritualism, Channelling, New Age beliefs, Amerindian religion, Bon, Tantra in Buddhism and Hinduism and its links with Taoism, new religious traditions etc. PAN will be relevant in all such fields of study. Similarly with the social and natural sciences, humanities, education, history, archaeology and philology and philosophy in general. Many modern pagans also have a close affinity with the environmental movement, and may be working in horticulture, gardening, animals, farming and rural pursuits. Many Pagans also work in the healing professions, in counselling, psychotherapy, massage, midwifery, nursing, and the various alternative therapies. Others work in the fields of the arts, beauty and design, or in the media, or computers and information technology. Some may already be involved in teaching or research in Pagan Academic institutions, such as the Avalon College of Druidry based in the USA indeed a whole plethora of interesting Pagan educational initiatives are springing up at present all over the place, including in cyberspace. Also, some people might want to get involved with PAN, who are working in professional careers which outwardly may seem to have little to do with their Paganism. In all such areas, P.A.N. is hoping to be able to offer valuable contacts and advice on how to reconcile one's professional activities with ancient spiritual teachings, while encouraging members to develop the highest levels of academic research skills relevant to their professional career. The Network is therefore open to all people who are studying any aspect of Paganism and who wish to join with other colleagues in open-minded debate as to the true meaning and significance of paganism and related spiritual traditions. Members may be people who have received or are studying for a higher educational qualification or a degree from a University, or alternatively may be independent scholars researching into the principles and practices of paganism. Whilst in the long term we hope to publish an International Journal of Pagan Studies, for the time being PAN has a regular entry in the Muses Journal which is the annual publication of the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy, and is available on subscription.

NETWORKING:
Individual members of PAN may also be active in other relevant organisations, like the PF, and we maintain friendly relations with a wide ranging body of educational groups worldwide. The enormous range of pagan organisations worldwide shows that this is an important area for research and study - PAN however is the only group which takes an eclectic overview of the whole field of pagan studies from an academic point of view.

PAN is a project of the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy – You can find out all about us on our website or you can iipsgp [at] educationaid [dot] net( email) Dr. Thomas Daffern, IIPSGP, Rhos y Gallt, Llanerfyl, nr Welshpool, Powys, SY21 0ER.
Dr. Thomas Daffern Ph.D. B.A. (Hons.) D.Sc. (Hon) PGCE has taught peace studies, history and philosophy for many years, teaches Philosophy and Religious Studies in the secondary school sector, has worked for the Universities of London and Oxford, has ran 30 seminars on peace and ethics in Parliament, has travelled and taught in some 30 countries worldwide, directs the International Institute of Peace Studies and Global Philosophy from a base in Wales, runs the Order of Peace Poets, Bards and Druids and is Peace Officer to the British Council of Druid Orders. He is the author of over 30 books on all aspects of education, spirituality philosophy, history, peace and religion (see website).

It is worth remembering that Plato and Aristotle, for instance, both of whom accepted in principle the wisdom within Ancient Greek Paganism, nevertheless would not have called themselves “pagan” simply because the term did not as yet exist. They simply were people of Thriskia, Sophia, and the Mysteries. So too some people on a modern mystical or esoteric path may find it difficult to resonate with the term pagan, yet on deeper study and reflection may realise that the source of many of their spiritual aspirations can most comprehensively be so designated, along with the term Primal Religions.
