About Us
Our Tradition
We are an Earth-Based Wiccan Church that considers ourselves Metaphysical
Eclectic. We practice our rituals in a traditional coven setting, pulling from all the
Wiccan traditions, as well as, several other earth-based traditions. We are
Metaphysical and practice the Science of Mind over Matter. We incorporate
negative release statements, positive affirmative New Age prayer, visualizations,
and meditation into our daily lives in order to make life altering changes for
ourselves. Everyone who participates in our services and church activities quickly
learns, that you are the master of your own destiny. Because Metaphysics is not
religion specific and most of us did not start out Pagan, we often teach
Metaphysics by incorporating several of the world religions as examples, in an
effort that we can all find something to identify with, and quite possibly even
expand our scope of spiritual practice.
Our Beliefs
1) We believe in the Spirit of Nature, represented by a God and Goddess that is
indwelling in us all. This Universal Spirit is present in all that we see, hear, touch,
feel, taste, and beyond, and so can be found in everyone and everything.
(Panentheism)
2) We believe in the Laws of Natural Order. These are the laws that we can do
nothing to change and so we learn to embrace them and live within their rhythms.
3) We believe in the Wiccan Rede and consistently live by it's teachings in our
everyday lives.
4) We believe in the Law of Threefold. This law teaches us that anything we put
out into the Universe will return to us three times as powerful; good or bad.
5) We believe in Karma. This means that every action will be met with an equal
reaction. We strive to live a mindful existence and make every choice
conscientiously.
6) We believe in reincarnation and all the levels of existence.
7) We believe in the codes of conduct set forth in the Witch’s Code of Moral
Ethics:13 Principles to Live By written by Rev. Dr. Kendra Vaughan Hovey.
8) We believe in meditating on a daily basis to establish and maintain a direct
relationship with the God and Goddess within.
9) We believe in using negative release statements in order to negate the beliefs
we have learned about ourselves that are untrue.
10) We believe in using positive affirmative New Age prayer in order to reprogram
ourselves with our own life affirming personal truths.
11) We believe in visualizing on a daily basis in order to see our hopes and ritual
practices manifest in our lives.
12) We believe in the Metaphysical trinity of Mind, Soul, and Body or Idea,
Thought, and Manifestation.
13) We believe that our church should be a safe and loving environment for
people of all faiths and traditions to explore their spirituality and personal truths.
We do not believe
1) We do not believe in, nor do we worship Satan.
2) We do not believe in practicing Black Magick.
3) We do not believe in excessive ritual items or hoopla to perform magick.
4) We do not believe in performing magick for another unless they have asked us
to perform it for them.
5) We do not believe in, or participate in human or animal sacrificial rites.
6) We do not believe in practicing rituals skyclad.
7) We do not believe in asking anyone to perform sexual favors.
8) We do not believe in practicing the Great Rite publicly or with witness.
9) We do not believe in asking anyone to do anything against their own free will.
10) We do not believe in allowing anyone under the age of 18 to practice in our
Church without parental or guardian permission.
11) We do not believe in discriminating against race, sex, sexual orientation,
physical appearance, religion, class, or physical/mental disabilities.
12) We do not believe in proselytizing.
13) We do not believe in perpetuating fear about Witchcraft.
