About Blackberry Circle

Blackberry Circle is a Pagan group located in Conroe, Texas. We celebrate the Turning of the Wheel by offering open rituals for those who follow the Pagan paths, but we focus on the Wiccan spirituality.

We currently have seven acres of land in Conroe that we are developing for ritual uses. On March 20, 2007 we received our non-profit corporation status from the state of Texas making us an official Pagan church. We are now working to eventually obtain our federal 501(c)(3) status.

At this time we are not taking on full time students although that time is fast approaching. Once we have things set up we will be offering classes to the Pagan community as well as opportunities for those who desire to fulfill the requirements to become clergy of the Blackberry Tradition.

Below are some of our founding members and clergy with a little information about them:

Keith

Keith has been practicing Wicca a little over ten years and was formerly involved in the Texas Pagan Awareness League. He is very interested in educating those who are searching this path through individual classes but especailly during rituals.

Terri has been studying and practicing Wicca for more than ten years. She has been invloved in varous groups during this time and has led public rituals. She is very active in various causes for the betterment of everyone.

Catherine "Shadow Crow"

Shadow Crow resides in Spring, Texas and is originally from Pennsylvania. She transplanted to Texas 10 years ago and found the Pagan path 6 years ago. Shadow Crow does not follow any specific tradition but works the most with and pays homage to Bast. Over the years she has learned (and still continues to) creative ways to incorporate Paganism into her daily life and her home. She is a member of Blackberry Circle in Conroe. Her thrill in life is learning from people and places she is introduced to along her path of discovery. One of her goals in life is to educate the community about Paganism and to cast aside the many myths about our religion which exist in society today.
