"We are a circle, within a circle,

With no beginning

And never ending..."

http://www.cyprian.org/Index/ This link will take you to The Index,
A Pagan networking organization for the greater San Francisco Bay Area
from Big Sur to Sacramento and all points between. Says Constance, its
moderator: "Founded in 1987 by Constance De Binero and Brook Attic,
The Index takes its name from the list the Papal Inquisition kept of
accused heretics, including those accused of the heresy of Witchcraft
(we have taken the name to honor Witches past and present), and was
born of the frustration of having to write to Circle Sanctuary
(http://www.circlesanctuary.org/ ) in Wisconsin to find someone 15 minutes
away. Our main purpose is to provide local event listings, and networking for
Wiccan, Pagan, Asatru, Umbanda, Druid, Shamanic, Thelema, Egyptian, and
other Neo-Pagan traditions in California's SF Bay Area."
