Four Columbia, SC-area Pagan groups were part of a community book drive to collect books for pre-K to 2nd-grade students in public schools. White Star Coven, Greenwild Spiritual Fellowship, Temple Osireion, and Gaia’s Rising CUUPS held the Ready 2 Read drive in a local park, collecting nearly 300 books that children will get to take home to keep at the end of the school year. Following a blessing ceremony attendees shared cookies and hot chocolate. All agreed that the collaborative effort was a welcome positive note during difficult times, also pointing out the importance of books and literacy to many Pagans. The event was held as part of S.C. Interfaith Harmony Month. More information about the events at Interfaith Partners of SC.

Interfaith Partners of South Carolina announced that Rev. Pamela “Mela” Borawski of Greenwild Mystical Academy and Bell, Book & Candle Podcast, is the new Pagan Faith Representative to their board of directors. Borawski succeeds Holli S. Emore of Cherry Hill Seminary who served for the past ten years. Borawski was approved at the IPSC Annual Meeting on November 14, 2021, and has actively supported and participated in interfaith work for a number of years. At the meeting, she said, “For so long, many pagans have lived in fear of being seen. To have the opportunity to be seen is truly transformative, both personally and for our community.” IPSC faith representatives serve the entire state, both representing Pagan interests and serving as an interface between IPSC and Pagans around South Carolina. Her first task will be to communicate the upcoming (January) S.C. Interfaith Harmony Month, recruiting Pagans to offer open events and attend other religions’ events throughout the month.
