Alright, thanks for starting this Eden!
I'll go ahead and make the first post, even though there's only two of us on 11/30, and both of us are not in Austin at the moment. I do think this tribe will fill up. There's kind of a void for Tx pagans on tribe, a search only pulled up this tribe, my tribe (OOCT, which is NOT pagan!) and Texas Witches, a good tribe but too Dallasentric for Austinites, and little Wicca-centric for the many neo-pagan paths.
But the Austin pagan scene is excellent! Why: THere's the shops, like BookPeople and Bookwoman on N-Lamar are the old pros that promote all things, Celebration on 43rd & Ave A in Hyde Park is the veteran meeting place for covens, very wiccan, Natural Magic 53rd/Duval just opened when I moved, and WHole Life Books, next to the Alamo Theatre on S-Lamar used to carry all the Tim Leary, Ram Dass, Robert Anton Wilson Techno-shaman books when I was a kid.
And don't forget the Univeristy of Texas' own Pagan Student Alliance. When I was there, the closest thing was the Pantheist Union, which morphed and joined into a tight fundraising/organizing group which has their own Pagan-Pride Day in RiverCity now! studentorgs.utexas.edu/psa/
Where were y'all when I was a T-sipper? Born too early...
So there is a lot to celebrate about being a pagan in Texas, but more being an Austin Pagan!
Always from Austin
