Environmental notes

I've decided that this will be the content of the Pagan Almanac which is aired each week. I'll also archive older almanacs entries.

If you would like me to list an event, please email me at dee@paganfm.com

Any event submitted must include the following:

Event name,
Event date,

Event location,
Contact person,
Contact phone number or email address,
Description of event,

Your email address and / or telephone number.

I will not post any event that I'm unable to confirm, nor events that I don't believe would be of interest to PaganFM! listeners. The earlier that you can get an event to me, the better.

 

Ongoing, weekly:

Prayer Requests

Every Sunday
Time: 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Location: Your own home
Notes: Please answer this request post stating your reason for healing energy and/or prayers sent your way. Prayer requests can be asked for other than healing and for other than yourself.
A white candle will be lit for you on Sunday unless you request another color to be used. This is a group event so the more people involved the better. Feel free to join sending out energy. Always keep in mind that requests are always done for the highest good of all concerned. This may mean the outcome may be different than we hope for. The spiritual healing work we do is designed to work in harmony with other treatment modalities, not as a subsitute.

2nd Saturday of each month
New Hampshire Seacoast Pagans have their monthly meeting at Karnan House in Portsmouth, from 2:00 to 6:00.
This is an informal gathering for Pagans. Most of us are from the Portsmouth Seacoast area, but all are welcome. We provide free coffee and tea, and usually somebody will bring some food. There’s no agenda – just hanging out, networking and good conversation.

MotherRoots Healing Center presents...

Red Tent Temple

When: Nov. 30th. 2008
Where: Newmarket, New Hampshire

Welcome All Women!

Event Details: Red Tent Temple

Beginning this month when the darkest and coldest time of the year embraces us, Mother Rooots will be hosting a monthly non-denominational Red Tent Temple for women of all ages! Come and warm your body, rest your soul and uplift your spirit in sacred, women's space! Inspired by Anita Diamant's novel, The Red Tent, women everywhere are raising their own Red Tent Temples on or around the new moon, all over the country every month to honor the natural rhythms and cycles of women. This is a collaborative experience. We will need women to step forward to help priestess this event by bringing soup, herbal teas, offering healing work, helping to set up the space, etc. and we call on all women who are craving time to rest, heal, do some divination, or simply, BE ~ without any agenda at all ~ in the sacred women's space of the Red Tent Temple. Bring your journals, your knitting, or your favorite book. Come to rest, to nap, to dance, to sing, to heal, to renew. Wear a little red! Please bring your own mugs, bowl and spoon.

There is a $5 - 10 donation to help cover costs. The first Red Tent Temple will be on Sunday, November 30 from 3 - 8pm. A formal circle will be held from 5-7. (Set-up volunteers please arrive earlier - call to let them know if you can help out and in which way you would like to do so.)

Young, newly bleeding women are especially welcome, along with the women-elders in our community!

Event Location: 501 Kent Place Commons - North Entrance in Newmarket
Event TIME Details: 3 - 8 pm

UU Church of Manchester presents...

UUCM Holiday Faire 2008

18th annual event, November 22.

Event Details: That's right - For 18 YEARS! The Holiday Faire at UUCM has truly become a tradition that our members and friends
look forward to every year. Even the local community takes time to stop by for some of the items that have become
a tradition - such as the cookie walk, white elephant, Raffle Baskets and Quilt and the diversity of our Vendors from pagan crafts to jewelry.

We occasionally stir things up and introduce something new from time to time. New members join our church and
with them come new ideas. If you see something missing don't hesitate to make a suggestion. One never knows what you will find at UUCM Holiday Faire. New in 2007 we added FREE live music. While you shop you enjoy the talents of Concert Pianist Gary Finger, the amazing talents of Professional Flautist and teacher Beth Ditkoff and her many students. We even had Myschyffe Managed. This singing troop has been making an name for itself for the passed three years on the Renaissance Fair circuit all over New England in Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts, Main and New Hampshire.

New for 2008 – Fiber Nuts. If you have a passion for any of the fiber arts from quilting to knitting you will want to stop and see this booth. You are certain to find a great bargain.

Sunday, December 21, we'll celebrate Yule, or the Winter Solstice. In honor of that day, we'll celebrate the solstice, here at PaganFM! You're invited to attend a solstice ritual right here at the station. We'll have the ritual, then cakes and ale (non-alcoholic), fellowship, and then start the radio program as usual, at midnight. Consider joining us, and send us an email at dee@paganfm.com so that we can know how many people to expect and plan accordingly.
