Regional Mailing Lists

Where there was one, now there are two... um, four.

• The Wisconsin Pagan Mailing list, lovingly known as the WIP list, serves the entire state of Wisconsin. Its membership has hovered around 150 on the main list and another sixty or so on the digest for the last several years. Started in 1995 by Wade, then a student at UW Kenosha, it grew from a few people who sent mail to Wade who then manually forwarded it to everyone else, to a full-fledged majordomo list. I've been on it since a few weeks after its inception.
  
  
• The Upper Midwest Pagan Email List is newer and since I'm not on it, I can't tell you much about it except that I've had an online aquaintance with Hawkdancing Studio since around January of 1999 and Nels has been a responsible and dependable person in everything we've been involved with..
  
  
• MadAPP - Madison Area Pagan Parenting
  MadAPP is a group that meets informally at various locations and times in the Madison area. All Pagan parents from surrounding communities and counties are welcome to join the group and attend our functions. We meet at various parks and play-spots to let the children have fun while the adults chat and chase after the kids. We also meet monthly one-half hour before the Pagan Tea & Talk, which is held the third Friday of each month at the WilMar Center. Our group meets at 7:00 near the play area inside the center. To sign up, go to groups.yahoo.com/group/MadAPP
  
  
• Yahoo Clubs, Pagan Wisconsin
  A Yahoo club is an online gathering place for people with similar interests. One requirement is that you must get a Yahoo ID to join, which requires that you give Yahoo.com certain information about you, and then must log in to Yahoo with a username and password. There are several groups (six, as of November 11, 2001), for Wisconsin Pagans, certain regions of Wisconsin, etc. Some are covens, and some may be closed. One thing is certain: they are on the increase. Last year about this time, I didn't know of any. They have several aspects, one of which is a mailing list. I was leery of them for a bit, since my experience was that they tended to disappear without notice. That appears to be changing.

As I hear of other lists, they will be posted here. The only requirement is that they be a possible resource for Wisonsin pagans. I know the Twin Cities isn't in Wisconsin, but for a lot of Wisconsinites it's a much shorter drive than Madison or Green Bay. Therefore, the resources don't stop at the state line.
