IPAN : Iowa Pagan Access Network

Community Education

Printable Handouts :: Recommended Reading :: Classes offered by IPAN

One of the goals of IPAN is to promote knowledge about Paganism and Pagan Religions to help increase understanding and acceptance throughout our communities. We will be working to format and upload as many of our educational materials to this site as possible. We have chosen to use the Adobe .PDF format which is great for preserving the accuracy of documents.

In order to view these pages, you will need to install the Adobe Acrobat Reader- it's free and available at the Adobe website.

The list is short at the moment, but we continue to write and solicit materials from other pagan groups.
