Pagan Tea House

Hi, all. I just thought I’d drop a line and let anyone who is interested know that I’ve been slow to update the site for fairly obvious reasons. Firstly, no one much cares where the phrase “Pagan Tea House” came from, so there’s no real hurry to put up a lot information. Secondly, I’ve run into the same old institutionalized disinterest and territorial wrangling that the PTH Group was crippled by; namely that everyone who has opened up a 3-4 person chat room somewhere on the Internet and dubbed it “Pagan Tea House” seems to want to believe that their particular PTH is the one, true, real deal. And, well, fraternizing in any way with anyone else might sink their individuality and all.

I promise I’ll get a lot more information up here soon. I’m going to be digging out all things related to the PTHs and listing them in some form on this site. I’m also going to be posting some links to PTH survivors who are out there on the Web doing what they do best.

I’ve set up a page on MySpace to facilitate the whole networking thing to those who might be interested. You can find it at;

Hopefully, we’ll see some of you guys there. It would be nice to come together in the same way that we once did with the PTH Webring (back in the mists of time). I’m looking forward to seeing you there.

I figure this is fair warning to the members of the various Pagan Tea House communities across the web that I’ve decided to root around and figure out who is where, and to list them on this site. Unlike the PTH Group of yesteryear, I’m not going to try to get people involved in cross-community activities or fellowship. I’m just going to list what’s out there, for the benefit of those who might still be interested in the various PTH communities but don’t know where to begin. I’m also hoping that old-timers such as myself might find this web site and know that there are still those of us out there who care about what that original Pagan Tea House represented; a very real community, even if it was an online one.
