The idea for this project started after I met a young lady at a store in Dearborn, Michigan. I noticed she was wearing a pentacle and I asked if she was Pagan. She immediately tried to hide it and apologized for having it out. I told her that I thought it was a good thing because I was Pagan as well. She smiled and we talked for a minute and she revealed that she thought she was alone in this area. I assured her that she wasn’t and that there were thousands of us out there.

I wanted to tell her about all of the events that were going on in our community and where she could meet other Pagans, but there wasn’t an event happening for several months. There was nowhere for me to tell her to go that day. So we finished our conversation and I left. I walked away wondering if she would ever find a spiritual home to work with other pagans.

So, I decided to build one. That encounter with that one young lady was the inspiration for me to begin working towards opening Pagan Pathways Temple. Pagan Pathways Temple is the only brick and mortar Pagan temple of its kind. Its purpose is to provide a home for practitioners of a variety of spiritual paths. To be a place where teachers and students can find each other, where priests and priestess’ can help those who are seeking enlightenment.

We have been doing this work for nearly 2 years now and will continue for years to come. Our goals however do not end with the Pagan community. We want to have in impact on the world. We want to help everyone to remember the wisdom of the Ancients, which teaches us that we are all ONE people. So our work must include helping to spread knowledge and wisdom to all of humanity. To do that we have to “come out of the broom closet” and show the rest of the world who we really are. To dispel and dismiss the many lies and delusions that people believe about us.
