Welcome to
Many Paths CUUPS
What is Many Paths CUUPS?
Many Paths CUUPS is a community of Pagans, witches, Druids, heathens, primals, polytheists, nature-centered spiritual seekers, and LGBTQ+ allies. We gather for community, education, ritual, and celebration of all paths toward the light.
The Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) was chartered by the Unitarian Universalist Association at the General Assembly in 1987.
The Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS) is an organization dedicated to networking Pagan-identified Unitarian Universalists (UUs), educating people about Paganism, promoting interfaith dialogue, developing Pagan liturgies and theologies, and supporting Pagan-identified UU religious professionals.
What We Do
-
Community Rituals
Join us for celebrations of the Pagan Wheel of the Year hand-in-hand with our sister chapter Keepers of the Great Grove (Peoria).
Immerse yourself in the world of Pagan hospitality with our gatherings and explore the history and significance of each Sabbat. We are a vibrant community and we love to share our holiday rituals, expand ourknowledge of Pagan celebrations, and embrace the magic of the wheel of the year.
Our communal rituals are sober, all-inclusive, child-friendly, and open to practitioners of all levels. -
Educational Workshops
Check out our Events tab for more information.
Many Paths offers educational workshops throughout the year exploring a wide range of spiritual, magical, and mythological traditions. These workshops provide opportunities for both beginners and experienced practitioners to deepen their understanding of specific deities, spiritual practices, historical traditions, and magical techniques.
Past workshops have explored figures such as Aphrodite, Persephone, and King Paimon, examining their history, mythology, symbolism, devotional practices, and modern relevance. Other workshops focus on spiritual traditions, practical spirituality, divination, meditation, ritual and spell design, and Earth-centered practices.
Our goal is not to promote a single path, but to provide a welcoming space for learning, discussion, and personal exploration. Participants are encouraged to engage with new ideas, ask questions, and discover practices that resonate with their own spiritual journey.

Monthly Meetings
Meetings held every second Wednesday at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Bloomington-Normal at 7pm.
Join us each month for fellowship, discussion, and community. Our meetings provide a welcoming space to connect with others, explore spiritual topics, learn about upcoming events, and build lasting relationships within Bloomington-Normal's spiritual community.
Each meeting includes opportunities group discussion, presentations from local esoteric vendors, event planning, monthly magics, and opportunities to share experiences and insights with one another.
Whether you are new to Paganism or have practiced for many years, our monthly meetings offer a chance to connect with others, build meaningful relationships, and participate in a supportive local community.
All are welcome. We hope to see you there!

Community Engagement
We at Many Paths believe that spiritual community extends beyond our meetings and rituals. Throughout the year, we work to strengthen connections within the broader Pagan, spiritual, and local communities through collaboration, service, advocacy, and mutual support.
Our members participate in community events, support causes that align with our values, collaborate with other CUUPS chapters and Pagan organizations, promote local artists and vendors, and build relationships with like-minded groups throughout the region.
By fostering connections both within and beyond our chapter, we help create a stronger, more vibrant community where diverse spiritual paths can thrive.
