Merry Morn. I have a few questions. I have a circle of friends that are not on th Pagan path, but are; however, open minded and interested in my life and what a circle is all about. We have been friends for several years and they want to partcipate in a circle at my home.

The date this would happen is 04/04/07, two days after the Full Moon. I was thinking of doing a "Friendship Circle". I was planning on doing a Friendship cake that we all make together. I need some other ideas on this. One of my friends leans toward the Pagan path and she has done circle with me before. I would love some insight on things to do and what not to do. I would love this to be very light hearted and fun for all.

Any and all help and ideas would be greatly appreciated. :

Thank you all so much for the wonderful ideas. I live in the South, so hopefully the weather will be lovely. I was planning on having the circle outside under the Moon with lot of candles and tiki torches. I love the idea of the friendship bracelets. That is fabulous. We are going to have a lovely feast outdoor picnic under the Moon as well. I was thinking about providing everything to make harmony pouches for everyone to take home. Providing the herbs, stones, and materials needed. This would be a good opportunity to teach them about our connection with plant, stone, and color energy, as well as charging objects.

Thank you all so much for the ideas! This will be a lovely evening and I am certain they will want to repeat it again.

I have a few friends such as you have, that aren't fully pagan but have an open mind and a general interest. It's funny one is more pagan then they ever would admit. I have introduced them to making such things as prayer ties, and dream pillows Depending on the season we do a fitting communal meal before hand, or another ice breaker I have found that works wonder is a Drum Circle. It loosens people up and you have alot of fun. Not to mention that the energy is intense.

Ooh these are all such good ideas! Its wonderful to have friends who are more open minded about such things. I like the drum circle idea, Lyme. I have some friends back home who like to get together and do that, and the energy created is so intense and wonderful. And since they consider themselves to be too old for arts and crafts its a great activity to do together. I hope all your friends (and you too Talaria!) have a wonderful experience together!

Thanks for this question and the great ideas. I have several non-pagan friends that might be open to some of these things. I will have to give it some consideration.
