UB students who are interested in learning about - and participating in - various branches of paganism now have a forum on campus to share their interests with fellow students, due to the recent formation of the Pagan Student Association.Twin sisters Christie and Candie Syphrit, along with Agnes Nogal, a biological sciences major, created the Pagan SA, which still has temporary club status, in order to provide a way for students to meet, discuss paganism, and eliminate the negative stereotypes and stigmas associated with paganism.According to the Pagan SA Secretary Teresa Steenburgh, a sophomore English and philosophy major, at the first meeting, members talked about what it means to be a pagan."Our earliest discussions were on definitions of paganism and a brief introduction to the family of religions associated with paganism, such as astaru, druidism, Wicca/witchcraft, neopaganism, shamanism and homosexuality in Wicca," Steenburgh said.The club currently has 42 members on their mailing list and approximately 10 members turn up for the weekly discussions, according to President Christie Syphrit."Out of curiosity I attended their first meeting and found it very refreshing and non-obligatory," said Marcus Steinzor, a junior exercise science major.
