Resources for Pagans on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn
Social media has proven to be a great tool for pagans and paganism. As a rule, many pagans tend to avoid organized religion or spirituality, with the exception of small covens or groups. In the neopagan world, this was often spiritually beneficial, but difficult for those wishing to connect to like-minded individuals to learn or teach further.
Facebook, Twitter, and even the professional LinkedIn are excellent online resources, providing pagans a chance to connect with one another. There are also many interfaith and universalist resources available for those looking to find peace with members of various belief systems. While connecting any spiritual belief to a professional networking site like LinkedIn might be risky for some, I think it’s valuable if part or all of what you are selling connects to the pagan community. I am a member of these communities because I sell my writing (including this page, which is undeniably pagan). I think people expect writers to be quirky, and I like people to think I am quirky enough to entertain them and professional enough to do the job right.
While these sites are helpful, I don’t think that any of the social media sites quite rival Witch Vox in their capacity for connecting pagans to one another (especially because Witch Vox has implemented search functions such as ‘by type’ which are specifically relevant to certain pagan paths or professions).
Here is a list of resources for those looking to connect to other pagans in a social and professional way using social media:
