Indiana Wiccan, Pagan, and Heathen Resources
Last Update -- February 7, 2001
This should be the last update before we go to our new URL. I'm also redesigning the pages off line for a completely new look, but it'll take time (I'm teaching myself style sheets). As always, send submissions and corrections to dagonet@paganpride.org. -- Dag

the area. NIPA coordinates at least two activities a month which are open to any Pagan-friendly people (under eighteens must bring a parent). They can be emailed for more information either here or here
