Welcome to the 2010 edition of the Montreal Pagan Yule Fair. Co-hosted by Le Melange Magique (The Magical Blend) and the Montreal Pagan Resource Center (MPRC), this year’s fair promises to be one of the most exciting yet!

Join keynote guest author Ellen Dugan along with authors Christopher Penczak, Judika Illes, Arin Murphy-Hiscock, Adelina St. Clair and a host of local speakers for two full days of workshops, panels and conferences.

Local artisans and craftspeople will be selling their creations so it’s a great chance to find something special for Yule. Readings and psychic consultations, book signings, an author’s supper and public Yule ritual top the weekend off.

Join us, spread the word, and celebrate this magical time of year!

Gaia Gathering Montreal – Open Meeting

Hi everyone

The time has come to coax you all out of the woodwork, vine-work, and gyp-rock! Gaia Gathering is seeking volunteers to help with local fundraising events and the Conference as a whole. This is a great way to both get involved with the community and plant something special onto a CV.

If you want to help out, and you’re in the Montreal area, come out to our next Open Meeting on:

Monday October 18th at 7pm
Concordia University’s Multifaith Chaplaincy
2090 Mackay, Montreal

If you can’t make the meeting (or if you’re outside of Montreal), please email Scarlet, our volunteer coordinator, at scarletcougar@gmail.com and include what
you can offer, your email and phone contact information.

We look forward to seeing you on the 18th!
Amanda, Hobbes, Melanie and Scarlet
