Group Overview: Heh, heh ... good. You had enough of a sense of humor
to check this listing. That's one thing that you're really going to
need, in a group like this. Let's face it, fertility rituals are
strange experiences, by their very nature, and somebody who takes
himself ever so seriously won't be happy here. We will be worshipping
Aphrodite Pandemos (the bringer of desire), Dionysos, Pan/Faunus and
Hermes, as we celebrate some of the Greek and Roman fertility
festivals. ("LFG" stands for "Lupercalia Festival Gathering").
As tradition mandates, we will be holding skyclad rituals (nudity
mandatory for men, optional, but encouraged, for women). This is a
younger Pagans' group, for those over 18, born after 1960. (Please
note that this is a specifically heterosexual group). While we will be
interested in "sacred sexuality" of a sort, there will be no orgies,
prostitution, drugs, or other events of interest to the vice squad
happening here. What is embraced here is a wholesome passion for life
and love, not the sordid, or that which is disrespectful to others, or
to oneself. The experience will be more visceral and emotional than
intellectual. (Philosophical discussions are more apropo for a shrine
to Aphrodite Urania, than one to Aphrodite Pandemos).
Let us leave speculation for another time. This is to be a place
where we shall read our poetry, as we drink our mead and raisin wine,
in relaxation and peace. One joins, not as an individual, but as
a member of a couple, with a friend of the opposite sex. Reasons for
these policies, if you are interested, may be found on our website. If
you do decide to come, please remember, there are no spectators here,
only participants. Bring an interest to share with us. Oh, and bring
that sense of humor.

a detour; the newsgroup was originally linked to because
the Gathering's homepage was located on an adult server).
