The intent of Mystic is to create a space for community, learning, and practice of alternative spirituality including but not limited to witchcraft, paganism, polytheism, and various global practices that utilize spellcraft. Members of Mystic will expand their knowledge and understanding of crafts such as tarot, divination, astrology, plant/herbal magic, meditation, manifestation, et cetera magick/spells. Mystic neither condones nor participates in magick that seeks to harm others and strives to remain a positive space for practice and learning. 
The Emerson Poetry Project (EPP) is dedicated to building a community of writers who want to share their original work, receive helpful feedback, and improve their craft through the medium of performance poetry. Every voice is important, and EPP provides an open environment in which anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute. We hold weekly meetings consisting of open mics, slams, featured poets, and workshops.
