ABOUT PAGAN PRIDE LAS VEGAS

Jennifer Velasquez
"Lady Gwendolen"
Pagan Pride Las Vegas
Lead Coordinator & Treasurer
I am a Solitary Practitioner and while my practice is very eclectic, I have a strong foundation in Wicca as an 2nd degree Initiate. I am a skilled tarot card reader and Reiki Healer. I enjoy crafting and working with my hands expressing my creative nature. I believe that finding oneself is the true purpose of life. Discovering and uncovering the psychic abilities inherent to all humans is of the utmost importance. I have spent most of my life drawn to metaphysical, paranormal and unexplainable elements of this life. As I walk along my path to discover my truth and abilities, I have had the opportunity to gain much knowledge and insight. I feel compelled to share and promote that which I have learned; to help others find and discover their truth. “To thine own self be true.” -Wm. Shakespeare (Hamlet)

If you are a Pagan, the project can help you find pride and confidence in your path. If you are not a Pagan, the project can help you understand your Pagan friends, coworkers, and family members.

Defining the Mission Statement:
We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth:
We try to keep our purpose balanced through the inspirations of Air, Fire, Water, and Earth:
Fire: Activism
People aren’t necessarily going to go out of their way to find out what Pagans really do. We have to have the courage to act on our convictions and do what we need to do.
Water: Charity
We know that what we do returns to us. We need to demonstrate this by offering compassion to our communities where it is needed. When we share our own abundance, we show that we trust the Gods to share abundance with us in return.
Air: Education
We’re never going to be able to practice our spiritual paths openly if we don’t give the public accurate information about what we do and do not do.
Earth: Community
We’re never going to be able to practice openly if we don’t know anyone else in our local Pagan communities. We need to weave networking webs in our cities, in our towns, in our rural areas. We need these webs to support one another. That support will also show those who would restrict our practice that we are not just a few isolated wackos, but are a growing congregation of people who adhere to a faith that, while different, is as valid as their own.
