Omicron takes a toll on pagan community's vital conferences

January 20, 2022

Pagans are a decentralized community, comprising largely independent, small temples, covens and kindreds, with many people operating as solitary practitioners, without even a common doctrine to bring them together.

What they do have is conferences. “In person events are our crossroads, agora, United Nations, Brigadoon, block party, state fair, and more. Friendships and alliances are created and deepened. Issues are explored and sacred techniques are shared,” said Ivo Dominguez Jr., an elder in the Assembly of the Sacred Wheel, in a statement to Religion News Service.

Dominguez is the founder of the long-running conference Between the Worlds, normally held in Delaware in conjunction with the appearance of certain astrological configurations. After canceling their April 2020 meeting, Dominguez and his fellow organizers were hoping to gather later in January, but omicron has forced another postponement, to 2023.
