As I prepare for my trip to PantheaCon I am filled with excitement and expectation for a great event. This opportunity to interact with and learn from a vast array of individuals whom I have followed for years is unmatched in my experience.

As I pack I am reminded of what has always been the most meaningful part of attending Pagan events; Interacting with my Pagan brothers and sisters. Each past event I have attended started with high expectations and the intent of being of service to the Pagan community. Yes I am planning on attending some presentations, party a little and hopefully gain some insights and ideas that will support my continued growth on my chosen path, but it is service that will be my focus…

Over the years I have learned that by placing myself “in service” to the community I have the greatest opportunity for growth. Some have urged me to establish a high profile in support of organizations with which I am involved. For me, a more important activity is to support my community in tangible ways that do not necessarily command attention.

While I highly value and respect those who present, teach, lead ritual and are in service in a very public way, those whom I most respect and value at events are the dish washers, gate keepers, trash collectors, security personal and medical responders. There is great dignity and expression of the Divine in quietly being of service to others. These are individuals who “Walk The Talk” and I consider my self honored to be counted as one of their number.

So if you are attending Pantheacon and you see someone moving tables, setting up a room or any of the other hundreds of tasks that need to be done, offer to pitch in for a few minutes. It is possible that you will find it the most rewarding activity of the entire event.
