Northern California Black Hat Society®

Established 2016

"This is not your Grandma's Sewing Circle folks!"

The Mission Statement of the NorCalBHS® is simple.

We are here to support and celebrate our diverse community.

We are also here to preserve and maintain the dignity and

honor of being a Pagan, Witch, Practitioner, Healer and/or Heathen.

We are Practitioners of the Old Ways & Ancient Arts!

Our society honors the ways of our ancestors, in hopes of continuing traditions and teaching the next generations.

We are a faith based organization with our roots deep in Paganism.

We recognize the divine in nature and spirit.

All paths are honored and respected among our members and we provide a safe and welcoming community to celebrate and commune together.

We truly strive to bring like-minded folks together to help put humankind back in harmony with the Earth, and each other.

Membership to the NorCalBHS® is now open, effective Jan 2021.

We have several levels of membership including affiliate membership

for those outside of the Northern California area.

Please see our membership page for more information.

We are a private society that organizes and hosts public classes,

meet-ups, rituals, and cultural and spiritual based events to

celebrate our Sabbats and Esbats.

We host public quarterly Full Moon Festivals & Open-Air Markets and our annual Samhain Soirée & Séance in October.

We also host the largest Norse themed event in the area with our annual

Old Norse Yule Gathering & Viking Feast every December.

We serve our community, Pagan or otherwise, with our

Pagan Neighbors OutReach program, which collects items in need

for the area homeless, with a focus on our homeless veterans.

We do a clothing and blanket drive every year, starting in late October,

to help folks through the colder months.

We also offer house blessings and clearings, free of charge,

conducted by our trained members.

The NorCalBHS® is a privately owned and operated organization.

We reserve the right to refuse or deny membership, without discrimination, as we see fit.

Our 2021 Donation Collection has started!

If you're not familiar with our Share the Warmth Program, we collect items in need for the area homeless, with a focus on our homeless veterans. We do a donation drive every year, starting in late October/November and then personally distribute items along with sack lunches and hygiene bags to homeless communities in the Sacramento area.
We're currently collecting winter items such as adult size sweaters, coats, hats, gloves and socks (socks must be new in sealed bags). We're also currently in need of clean and gently used blankets and sleeping bags.

Follow our main BHS Facebook page for updates on local collection dates and locations.

You can also purchase items in bulk, such as socks, hats, mittens, snacks, and hygiene items from Amazon and have them shipped to us directly for distribution.

If you'd like to volunteer to assist in any way with our program, please drop us an email at infonorcalbhs.com
