We keep seeing on forums the statement that we are a cult, and Yes, such a dangerous cult that we will make you think for yourself, and do some hard work, and all you will get in return is some personal growth.
We don’t deny we are…

By the flame that burneth bright,
O Horned One!
We call thy name into the night,
O Ancient One!
Thee we invoke, by moon-led sea,
By the standing stone and the twisted tree.
The we invoke, where gather thine own,
By the nameless shrine forgotten and alone.

Inequality in Wicca?
We have to remind ourselves that not everyone has what we have, or that we will ever have what others have, and that’s okay. Wicca is not about the accumulation of THINGS, but the accumulation of virtues and practices within our lives.

“The meaning of witchcraft is to be found, not in strange religious theories about God and Satan, but in the deepest levels of the human mind, the collective unconscious, and in the earliest developments of human society. It is the deepness of the roots that has preserved the tree.”

There is a piece of advice we too pass onto our students, that we should keep peace between ourselves and others, and strive to listen, as they may perceive a truth we may not see.
Sometimes the best lessons come from outside the tradition and from non-initiates.

A personal reminder…
For Her law is love unto all beings, Within the heart that Rejoiceth, with Compassion and Humility. Even if those beings are uncompassionate and driven by hate for others, we have to rise above their attitudes and keep pure our highest ideals.

Our Facebook page will no longer be available in the USA for the foreseeable future. A small faction of rightwing republican initiates have taken to reposting our content to turn our messages of acceptance into ones of hatred... All content will still be available here and on Instagram.

The spirits of our tradition are Form and Void, Evolution and Involution, Subject and Object, Unity and Manifold change. For our understanding we have socially set a reduced perspective and limit upon them for our recognition, to aid us in better understanding the complexity of the unfathomable.

“Our base is the Divine Life of the universe. Our means of keeping in touch with it cannot be through any man-made dogma, but through nature, which man did not make. Mens’ hands wrote all the holy books and sacred scriptures; only the book of nature was written by divinity.”

A new Rhetoric we see in our tradition is "Gerald said this, Gerald didn't agree with that" in defense of their hatred to others, but when we quote any other influential initiates, those quotes are toss aside if the person didn't 100% agree with the Prophet Gerald...

THERE IS NO ONE AND ONLY “TRUE WICA”
Statements are being made by extremist claiming that anyone not following their political views or opinions should be removed from the tradition.... well sorry to say that your interpretation of Wicca is not the standard and you are the minority for once!
