THE NEW YORK CITY WICCAN FAMILY TEMPLE
Category: GroupsOrgs
Website Profile: Wiccan Family Temple Tradition
Formed by Starr, Luna and Athena on July 4th 2007. The concepts of our tradition are based on many combined. Eclectics that we are we took a little from some and created our own. We follow the Wiccan Rede. And believe in the threefold law. Do not necessarily believe in covens as it is not for everyone. But do believe in witches of all traditions, levels etc. coming together to celebrate and raise energy for the Esbats and Sabbats. We do believe in learning and sharing our knowledge with each other. We do believe in witches learning and gathering knowledge through books and via the internet, but studying in groups to gather hands on experience as well. Our tradition has dedications not initiations, once you have been with us studying for a full year and a day and has participated in the Esbats and Sabbats during that time. We believe that wicca and witchcraft is a way of life that should be shared with the entire family. So we welcome members to bring their children and their non-Wiccan family members to share in our open celebrations. We love to chant, sing and dance. We believe in healthy living, taking care of the Earth, our communities and the environment. We do believe that everything on earth as a spirit like the trees that are all around us. We are certainly Witches and proud of it. We believe in getting politicaly involved which is why we created the NYC Pagan Council a civil rights organization to help pagans August 2007. We also formed the WFT Academy of Pagan Studies in July 2007 and the Dragon Academy for the kids Sept. 2008. And Charmed by Starr which started in 1994 to provide our community with pagan ritual items to present. Also started our own tradition of NYC Witches Masquerade Balls since 2005 to present. We believe that a wise witch who is Wiccan never stops learning. For there is an entire world to learn about and many traditions to be.
We are The Wiccan Family Temple, New York City based. We are not a coven. We are a group of Eclectic Solitary Witches who comes together as families to celebrate on Sabbats and Esbats and other special occasions. Come join our Family. Everyone of all traditions are welcome to join us for any or all of our celebrations. Everyone of all ages, races and genders are welcome to celebrate with us. Our celebrations are always participatory.
History of how we came to be The Wiccan Family Temple and our collaborators:

From its origin as just a supplier of Pagan/ Wiccan items, over the years Charmed By Starr’s offerings have grown to include psychic readings, Craft classes and Group Wicca studies.
