Welcome to the MIT PSG Wiki - Homepage of the MIT Pagan Students' Group

The MIT Pagan Students' Group is a support network for Pagans in the MIT community. We welcome MIT students, employees, family members and anyone else in the MIT community with an interest in Paganism. In addition to organizing meetings and hosting rituals, we work to improve the image of Paganism in our community. Paganism is an affirmation of the beauty and sacredness of life on this earth, and of our unity with it.

The MIT PSG is also an informal collection of Wiccans (ranging from hierarchical rigid traditionalists to radical separatist feminists), Discordians, Pantheists, Shamans, Taoists, and those still searching for a path. The group is open-minded enough for people interested in Paganism as a personal religious phenomenom, as a broad political agenda, or as anything in between and beyond.

To see what is going on at the PSG, please take a look at our Current Events!

You can also take a look at our Planned Events, browe our Past Events, or take a look at our Library.

The MIT PSG office is in Walker Memorial in room 50-318.

We are now on Facebook and Twitter.

Kate Chadbourne

Ostara -- Equinox -- Emerge and Surge(Ritual and Drum Circle)

Date: Saturday, March 24, 2012

Time: Doors open for ritual at 7 pm, Doors close/ritual starts at 7:30 pm. Ritual ends by 9 pm when the doors open for the drum circle.

Once the ritual starts, we won't accept late arrivals, but after 9, people can come and go as they please to the drum circle.

Location: The beautiful MIT Chapel, on the MIT campus in Cambridge, MA at Mass Ave & Amherst St., MIT Building W15

Parking: Parking is available in the Chapel Turnaround: "Parks 20 cars and is for use with Chapel events. Turnaround is located on Amherst Street just after the Chapel."

For months our seeds have lain dormant. Now we plant them with intention and see them sprout. Our dreams start to take on physical form as the year turns ever closer to their fruition.

The ritual will feature Harpist and Storyteller Kate Chadbourne:

Kate Chadbourne is a singer, storyteller, and poet whose performances combine traditional tales with music for voice, harp, flutes, and piano. She holds a Ph.D. in Celtic Languages and Literatures from Harvard University where she teaches courses in Irish language and folklore – but the heart of her understanding of Irish folk tradition comes from encounters with singers, storytellers, and great talkers in Ireland. Sharing this blend of scholarship and music, Kate has found a warm welcome at museums, colleges, libraries, folk clubs, and schools throughout New England. She has been a featured “tradition bearer” in the Revels Salon series and in the Gaelic Roots Concert Series at Boston College. Her music was featured recently on NPR’s programs, “Cartalk” and “All Songs Considered,” and songs from her latest CD, The Irishy Girl, are played on Irish radio programs throughout the country. She has published two chapbooks of poetry: Brigit’s Woven World & other Irish poems (FoxHarpkerInk, 2011), and The Harp-Boat (Kulupi Press, 2008), a collection of poems about her father, a Maine lobsterman. Whether Kate is singing, telling stories, or sharing a poem, she aims to leave her audiences moved, enlivened, and eager for their own adventures.


We will also be having live percussion by Martin Case and the Lee

Joseph Brogan-Saxophones, Flutes Jean Laing-Djembe, Percussion Joshua Mayo-Djun Djun, Djembe, Percussion Omar Gittens, Djun Djun, Percussion Martin Case-Saxophones, Djembe, Percussion

This is an open public ritual. It is intended both for those curious about Paganism and for practicing Pagans. All participants are equally welcome. This event is drug and alcohol free.

Directions:

The MIT Chapel is the cylindrical building with an odd spiky thing on top near the MIT Student Center. Get to 77 Mass. Ave. on the side opposite the MIT entrance with the pillars and walk west, away from the pillars, towards dorm row -- the chapel will be on your left. If you get to Kresge Auditorium (the building that looks as if you could ski off it), you've gone too far. If you notice a large inflatable grub-like thingy to your left, you have definitely gone much too far.
