(Under Recent CONSTANT Construction, please watch your step!!)
If you’ve read my bio then you know I’ve been involved in some community building efforts within the Pagan community. Often this has included an online component and it was through my membership in a number of e-lists and yahoo groups that I first started compiling lists of Pagan community links.
This page is my latest attempt at such a compilation. It will probably be undergoing almost constant construction and alteration as I try to keep it up to date and easy to use. It is arranged into some broad categories and roughly alphabetically. I have tried to list sites and categories that will relate to an active and engaged member of the Pagan Community.
~Note~ We come to Paganism, sometimes for a few years, sometimes for a lifetime with many different interests and influences; as a result, this list sometimes touches on some seemingly unusual sites and categories, please bear with me. ~/Note~
This page has its own comments section down bellow; feel free to use it if you have suggestions of links I could add or questions or observations!

I have a friend who is pagan, and needs free legal help concerning a child custody matter. she’s pagan and was sexually manipulated by a supposed pagan, and a child w2as produced. The child is with him, and she desires custody. She tried using an attorney, who took her money, and produced nothing.
Do you know of any resources she could use? She’s in Redlands, California.

(e-mailed him with functioning links to relevant organizations)
Dear Reverend Fleming,
I can suggest a few different resources…
The Alternative Religions Educational Network, formerly the Witches Anti-Discrimination League.
The Lady Liberty League
The Earth Religions Legal Assistance Network
Are all good possibilities for further advice and assistance, another thought would be to contact your local or state members for Covenant of The Goddess, and the folks of the Reclaiming Tradition, to see if they can aim you at some Pagan friendly legal assistance and counseling resources for your friend.
Prayers for your friend,
Pax/ Geoffrey
Please add my listing of the Pheonyx Circle to be listed under Witchcraft

Another resource for Cultus Deorum (Religio Romana) : http://www.cultusdeorum.org
Thank you very much! I will look forward to adding it!!
This is magnificent! I just formed a page on Facebook dedicated to Pagan charities, causes, and aid organizations, in part due to difficulty in finding resources like this. Not meaning at all to compete with such a wonderful resource, I’ll cross post this site and promote it on that page. I’m just getting started with it, but it’s located at https://www.facebook.com/PaganCausesAndCharities. Thanks for all of the wonderful work here.
Feel free to cross-post away! And thank you for your work building Pagan community as well!!
Unfortunately it would appear that Vodou Aid is no longer operational. Their website gives a 404 now.
As is Polytheistic Charity. The operator of that site is now over at the Humanistic Paganism site.
Thanks for the updates! I am afraid that the last year or so has seen me develop a major case of burn-out in all of my creative and spiritual efforts.. I am wrestling with that at the moment and hope to be back in form soon.
No worries at all. I’m in the same boat quite often. At the moment I’m on the “on again” side of the “on again, off again” approach to things. Sadly the facebook group I created is not the first. It is probably the easiest to keep running as there are so many great things going on in the pagan world, so hopefully it’ll have more life in it than some of my previous endeavors.
