Finding a spiritual home: Pagans, atheists, humanists form social groups to reach like-minded



TETONA DUNLAP
Feb 22, 2017

TWIN FALLS — Wendy Koffer carried a wicker basket full of gloves, clippers, plastic baggies and a ball of string as she strolled through Rock Creek Park.

Koffer’s eyes scanned the landscape beyond the paved pathway, looking for twigs, berries, plants and leaves she could use in spells and magic.

Walking alongside her were six other members of the Magic Valley Pagans. They held fabric bags and wore sweatshirts to protect them from the chilly, cloudy afternoon weather.

When Rachel Arreguin spotted a cluster of tall stems with spiked tops, she ran over flapping her arms with glee to clip off the top. It resembled a thistle, but with sharper thorns. They placed it in a plastic bag and continued down the path, passing by a group of disc golf players.

This sounds like an excellent idea to provide opportunities to socialize with like-minded people.
