FAQ

Paganism is an umbrella term for nature-based, non-mainstream religions. In fact, the word "pagan" originally meant "country dweller" or "of the land." 

Paganism is extremely broad, so beliefs vary from person to person. It's typically associated with being polytheistic, however some pagans don't believe in any god at all!

We want to create a safe space for pagans; a spirituality that rarely involves community. We hope to get like-minded people together to discuss topics that they otherwise (typically) can't share. 

We also hope to destigmatize paganism at Syracuse University so that students understand what it truly means to be pagan. We work with other groups associated with Hendricks for this exact reason-- to spread the word!

We currently meet every Tuesday, however if you can't make it: don't worry! It is not meant to add stress to your already stressful college schedule. This is a group intended to bring together like-minded people, give us a space to be ourselves, and discuss topics we usually don't get the chance to discuss with others! The commitment of this club completely depends on how involved you want to be. Some attend every meeting and ritual, some attend rituals, and some are working behind the scenes to make everything run smoothly.

NO! If you just started, or you don't have anything, this is a great place to start. We have pendulums, tarot cards, and crystals for the group to use (but please don't take them!). Just bring yourself!
