I have gotten several e-mails asking "What is the PCCO?" so I thought I'd
post the brochure/flyer than new and/or prospective members get.

What is the PCCO?

The Pagan Community Council of Ohio is a non-for-profit corp. sponsoring
social, educational and religious activities for the Pagan residents of
Ohio.
"Pagan," according to the Council's bylaws, refers to any positive,
life-affirming, earth-based religion, ethic or philosophy consistent 
with the ideals and behaviors stated in the Wiccan Rede ("Do what you
will; harm you none."), the principles of Wiccan Belief adopted by the
Council of American Witches in 1974, the Earth Religion Anti-Abuse
Resolution of 1988, and similar declarations of high principle.
The council has 120 members throughout the state, as well as in Pennsylvania,
Kentucky, Indiana, Maryland, New York, Illinois, Michigan, West Virginia
and Virginia.
The Council has two local branches in Bowling Green and in Dayton who are
on their way to providing local based support for their Pagan communities.
The Council has many meetings every month both at the central division
and the regional divisions.

Education

The Council provides lectures and workshops designed to educate Pagans
on different traditions and perspectives of Paganism. The past year featured 
workshops on the Tarot, the Kaballah, and conflict management, as well as 
sponsoring appearances by author Patricia Monaghan ("The Book of Goddesses
and Heroines"). We welcome suggestions for future educational programs.

The Council also provides information on Paganism to the community at 
large. Representatives have spoken on local radio and TV programs and 
addressed the Columbus Metropolitan Club. In addition, the Council has been 
featured in articles in the Columbus Dispatch, the Columbus Free Press,
the Ohio State Lantern, Columbus Alive, and the Columbus Guardian. 
In addition we have appeared on all three of the local TV news
media stations.
