We are a social networking group for all Southern California pagans who are sick and tired of tyranny and oppression and who seek the freedom to be ourselves, to speak our minds and hearts freely with no fear of reprisal, and to worship the gods and goddesses of our choosing in the way we see fit.
Our main networking venue is our free discussion mailing list. It's a mailing list to which everyone is welcome to subscribe and post messages on any topic. It's a traditional Majordomo-like mailing list, NOT a Yahoo group. The list is completely uncensored and unmoderated. As long as they are in plain ASCII, your words will reach other pagans instantly!

(Our server does not let HTML or attachments through, so you can be
safe knowing that by subscribing to our mailing list you are NOT
subjecting your mailbox to unreadable garbage, bloat or viruses.)
Our vision is to have more than just a mailing list, i.e., what we would like is a community of actual live people. A vibrant community with regular face-to-face meetings and frequent public rituals. We have made some efforts in that direction in the past (we have held two public sabbat rituals in north San Diego County, one Yule and one Ostara), but those functions are currently on hiatus. Right now the mailing list is all we have.
If you would like to help us achieve our goal of having more functions, please join our mailing list and make some posts. Introduce yourself and start a lively discussion. Let's talk about how we can strengthen our community — that's what the mailing list is for.
We could use some help with improving this web page and the special mailing list management software we have developed that guards the free speech rights of our members. If you are skilled in web design or in UNIX application programming, you may be able to help your fellow free pagans! Please post on the mailing list if you think you may be able to help with any technical matters.
This web page and the socal-free-pagans mailing list are hosted on computer systems built by Harhan Engineering Co., a 100% pagan-owned engineering services company, and operated by the Interplanetary Internationale IT operations team.
Our servers run the UNIX Time-Sharing System by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson.
We operate all of our services, including this group, using exclusively open source software and in full compliance with open standards.
