Blackberry Circle Book Club

Hi everyone! I would like to invite you to the first meeting of the Blackberry Circle Bookclub. This will be a bookclub which meets online, every Thursday night from 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm central time. We will be discussing books from the Blackberry Circle recommended reading list (Pagan/Wicca oriented). Depending on the length of the book, you will be responsible for reading 1 - 3 chapters per week and then get ready for some lively discussion every week.

I know money is tight right now for a lot of us. If you cannot afford the book we have chosen, check our your local library. Sometimes, libraries will order books they do not have from another branch. Even if you can't get your hands on the book, you can still join us for the discussion.

Please know this is open to anyone who is Pagan/Wiccan friedly, they do not have to be members of Blackberry Circle, it is only hosted by Blackberry Circle. So, feel free to pass this message on to anyone who might be interested.

If you are interested, send me an email to and I will send you an invite. The invite will come from shadowcrow so be on the look out in the email box. Should you have any questions, feel free to ask. I look forward to us learning and hearing everyone's input!
