EPN has no interest in serving as the "Pagan police," and explicitly supports the autonomy of each person and group in matters of faith, belief, and worship. The Maine Pagan community encompasses a wide variety of people and practices, and seekers are cautioned that any person or activity that makes you uncomfortable is probably wrong for you.

Silver Circle

Silver Circle is an open circle. We welcome all who are serious followers of a Pagan path. We are dedicated to the passing of knowledge to those who seriously seek a Pagan way. We do not accept those who claim to be Pagan just to be different, or for the "shock factor." We are family oriented and encourage parents to bring well behaved children to rituals and other activities. We are an established church under Maine law.

Silver Circle holds rituals for the Sabbats and full moon esbats. Instruction is available, upon request, to those dedicated to the ways of the Lord and Lady. We try to keep classes as eclectic as possible and to explore more than one path.

Some of our members host the Lewiston Witches meet and greet on Sundays at Governors Restaurant in Lewiston. They gather at 7 Pagan time in the evening.

Maine Pagan Clergy Association

The Maine Pagan Clergy Association is a support and networking organization for Pagan clergy with a ministry in Maine. Clergy are self-selected. If you believe you are Pagan clergy, you belong here. No one will check your credentials at the door. Our quarterly meetings are open to all Pagan clergy, and are held at various locations around the state. Meetings are held in a cast circle, so that those who wish to gain counsel from other clergy on sensitive matters may do so in an atmosphere of confidentiality. (Because sensitive subjects can come up at meetings, we ask that no one under 18 attend without a parent.) We offer an avenue for interested Pagan clergy to obtain legal licensure. See the website for application. Also check out our website for a listing of upcoming MPCA meetings.
