Summer is coming and the snow is almost gone away from the Sierra Nevada range. Pagans are coming out to gather and build community while enjoying the warmer weather here in Nevada.

The majority of happenings listed below are not found on Witch Vox but only through groups here in the state. So, without further ado… here is Simple Abnormality’s list of current Pagan Nevada events, groups and contact information.

1. First off we have the “I AM” campaign from the PUC that is set for all of us political Pagans to get our post cards out by Summer Solstice. Here in Nevada the campaign started out well with the distribution of the main PUC press release for “I AM”. The Nevada Pagan Unity Campaign is starting fresh this season and I am hoping to make “I AM” noticeable here in our state. If you would like to join the NV PUC e-group to stay updated with all the latest Pagan politics in Nevada while meeting other like minded Pagans, then have a visit over at our main page: Nevada Pagan Unity Campaign
