Welcome to the Las Vegas Pagan Pride Day Official Website! We have the dates set for our 2011 events. Mark your calendars! See below for information on LVPPD on Nov. 5th 10am-4pmCOMMUNITY REQUESTLas VegasPagan Pride Day is requesting help from local artists. This year is dedicated to the connection of Art and Spirit. We are exploring various forms of art and send out this call to share your art with the Pagan community. We are asking for three things: 1. We need Tattoo gift certificates, vouchers to be used for personal talents, Pagan themed art prints, crafts, music or many other facets of creativity. Items valued over $100 will receive booth space to showcase your art at Las Vegas Pagan Pride Day on November 5, 2011. You will also receive advertisement and acknowledgement in LVPPD material. 2. We want Black and White digital art to be used for a coloring book. Ideally the art will be standard page sized. We also request your business card image in a separate file to be used as an index of pagan friendly artists. This coloring book may be given out as gifts, sold as a fund raiser to pay for printing, or added to many other coloring books created for Pagan Pride International. 3. We are searching for People willing to discuss their personal link or understanding of Art and Spirit at Pagan Pride Day. We are looking for artists to discuss their link in the creation of art, tattooing, crafting or to demonstrate their skill. This community is built of people with many perspectives and we value your input and contributions. We seek assistance in creating a continued vision of Pagan Pride. Please send your contributions to info@lvpaganpride.org. Please pass on to other artists to provide new opportunities and community support.

“Pagan Pride Day is a celebration of diversity,
culture, differences and similarities. The community is full
of different beliefs and practices and together each one contributes to the
whole. PPD reinforces the fact that the community needs to respect everyone in
it,” said local coordinator Peter “Bear” Beaulieu.
Las Vegas Pagan Pride
Day is an affiliate of The International Pagan Pride Project, a non-profit
organization dedicated to the elimination of prejudice and religious
discrimination through education, activism, charity and community. By providing
accurate information and showing the greater community a glimpse into the Pagan
culture, there is hope to lessen the view of prejudice. Pagans are business professionals,
homemakers, artists and students. Pagans don’t always fit the stereotypes given
to them. Pagan Pride celebrations are held annually around the world
Items of
non-perishable food will be accepted and donated to 3 Square Food Bank. The
food drive provides participants the ability to share with others while making
a positive statement about Paganism. Pagans have been wrongly accused of practicing devil-worship and
performing "black magic.” Most
Pagans enjoy a religion emphasizing respect for nature, humanity, and oneself.
Modern Paganism is a growing religious movement based on combinations of
ancient polytheism, modern eco-spirituality, and reverence for the Divine as
both masculine and feminine.
The event is sponsored
by Agave Sprit Grove,
Well of the Moon, Grove of the Sacred Springs, Unitarian
Universalist Congregationand the Toteg Tribe. Las
Vegas Pagan Pride Day and The International Pagan Pride Project are not affiliated
with any specific pagan tradition or religion. For more information about the event, visit the website at www.lvpaganpride.org.

Las Vegas Pagan Pride Day Saturday, November 5, 2011 From: 10 AM to 4 PM Location: 3616 E. Lake Mead blvd., Las Vegas NV 89115 Blessings to everyone! I am Peter Bear, the current resident agent of the Pagan Pride Project in Las Vegas and LVPPD coordinator. I am excited to offer the opportunity for a New LVPPD Coordinator. Over the past 8 years it has been my pleasure to bring the opportunity of the Pagan Pride Project to Las Vegas. Together this community has brought together many types of pagan paths and celebrated our diversity and strength. I would like to step down as the Coordinator and assist or consult to maintain the continued strength of LVPPD. I would be happy to meet with anyone interested in taking over the duties of Coordinator and chairing the community board. In many communities there are co-coordinators so feel free to put together a group to take over the duties. Contact me at info@lvpaganpride.org if you are interested. This is an exciting opportunity to bring new ideas and change to the community.
Goddess Ink Announcing the first two publications of this exciting new press, located in Las Vegas!
The Heart of the Sun: An anthtology in Exaltation of Sekhmet Edited by Candace Kant and Anne Key Preface by Normandi Ellis. Featuring writings from: Normandi Ellis, Margaret Atwood, Nicki Scully, Barbara Hand Clow, Hank Wesselman, Chandra Alexandre, and Genevieve Vaughan
Heart of the Sun: An Anthology in Exaltation of Sekhmet is an intriguing glimpse of Sekhmet's many guises, as seen through multiple ways of knowing. Academic and personal essays, ritual, meditation, art, and poetry, combine to reveal a distinct picture of Sekhmet to each reader. Desert Priestess: a memoir by Anne Key
Desert Priestess: a memoir recounts the three years Anne Key spent as Priestess at the Temple of Goddess Spirituality Dedicated to Sekhmet. Beginning with her first rituals, the story interweaves the daily duties of the priestess, contact with temple visitors, and appreciation for the natural beauty of the desert. Part spiritual memoir, part nature writing, and part religious philosophical exploration, this book evokes the unique experiences of a 21st century priestess.
