Northern California Black Hat Society®

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.  

The NorCalBHS® also stands proudly as the Founder of 

The National Cauldron™

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 Full Moon Festival & Samhain Ritual  in October.  

We also host the largest Norse themed event in the area with our annual Yule Gathering & Viking Feast every December at the Scottish Rite Temple.

 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.
