Membership


There are two levels of memberships available for Reading Pagans & Witches (RPW). By offering both General and Supporting Memberships we make it possible for you to choose your level of involvement in RPW.

General Supporting
General Memberships are open to anyone, aged 13 and above who have either joined the RPW Forum or RPW Yahoo Group and/or attended an RPW meeting. (If you are between 13-17 a parent must attend at least your first meeting or two and grant permission for you to attend.)  There are no annual fees or volunteer service requirements for General Members. Supporting Memberships are available to anyone age 18 and above who has:
  • Attended four (4) or more RPW Meetings in the past 6 months and/or is actively participating on the RPW Forum.
  • Has met the annual dues/volunteer service requirements as outlined below.

There are annual fees and/or volunteer service requirements for Supporting Members. Annual Fee/pledge of Volunteer Service Requirements are due each January and are as follows:

  • $40.00 with 0 hours of volunteer service.
  • $20.00 with 4 hours of volunteer service.
  • $0.00 with 8 hours of volunteer service.

Fees and service hours are pro-rated, depending on when your supporting membership begins.  For the breakdown of those fees, click here.

All Members:
  • Are part of a great community of people who have similar spiritual outlooks.
  • Are invited to participate in any and all public and private RPW activities, including (but not limited to): classes, events, meetings, and rituals.
  • Are invited to lead discussions, activities, ritual, and classes at our meetings and events. 
  • Upon the approval of the RPW Officers, members are also welcome to offer RPW-sponsored activities, rituals, and classes outside of meetings and events.  (Of course RPW would not presume to have any say over non RPW-sponsored activities, rituals, and classes.)
  In addition to the above benefits, Supporting Members:
  • Receive a membership card which will be used for future programs such as the Local Business Partnership and discounts to RPW sponsored events.
  • Are able to participate in voting.
  • May be nominated for offices.
  • May request one personalized email address under ReadingPagansAndWitches.com
