The Rowan Tree Church [Witchvox Sponsor] presents...
An Introduction to Lothloriën
When: Oct. 10th. 2009 - Nov. 7th. 2009
Where: Kirkland, Washington
Unicorns and Goddesses and More ... Oh, My!!!
Event Details: For those who might be interested in the Tradition which provides the underlying belief system discussed in A Wiccan Bardo, Revisited and which is the Wiccan Tradition of The Rowan Tree Church. The Tradition of Lothloriën manifests itself in the gardens at The Hermit’s Grove. Training of its teachers takes place through its ‘Mystery School.’ The Rowan Tree Church is a network of individuals who believe deeply in our Tradition and work collectively to demonstrate our deep love for this planet.
In what ways is The Tradition of Lothloriën similar to Wicca in general and in what ways does it differ? The Tradition of Lothloriën is a ‘mystery tradition’ which includes many of the practices not commonly found in the other, newer traditions. And what about those Unicorns? Where did they come from? Working with universal archetypes rather than a specific geographical region (e.g. Italian, Celtic, etc.) The Tradition of Lothloriën works with mystical and psychic disciplines, explores death and rebirth and is one of the more challenging Wiccan Paths to be found.
Taught by the Tradition's founder, author Rev. Paul Beyerl
What is Lothloriën?
Lothloriën is an Earth-based religion, with our roots in mystery religions of the world. As an Earth-based religion, we celebrate the seasons and the cycles of life. We recognize that Truth is found in many cultures around the world and draw our archetypes from many paths. What makes Lothloriën unique is our acceptance of all people regardless of their culture, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, religion or sexual orientation.
Through the archetypes of Unicorns and other universal symbols we extend our beliefs into an inclusive view of reality. We seek to transcend gender-limiting expressions of the Divine and embrace all peoples and cultures upon our planet. Lothloriën strives to be inclusive in all ways.
Our humble origins were formalized in 1977, when Rev. Paul Beyerl (trained and initiated into a neo-Alexandrian Tradition) , began teaching the Craft to a small group of people on Oak Grove in Minneapolis on Sunday mornings. Out of those early rituals, The Tradition of Lothloriën came into manifestation. It was in 1979 ce that Rev. Paul and the group of students sharing the emerging Wiccan Tradition he was teaching and creating made a commitment to the name The Rowan Tree Church. The Rowan Tree Church was centered on Oak Grove in Minneapolis when it received legal recognition as a Church February 4, 1980 ce.
As The Rowan Tree Church turned fifteen and Rev. Paul joined with his partner gerry, we relocated our publishing and administrative office to Kirkland, Washington. The Rowan Tree Church has its ‘home office’ in the Beyerls’ cottage on Rose Hill in the Puget Sound area of western Washington. The 45, 000 square feet of garden and paths, ritual and sacred spaces are home to many species of medicinal and magickal herbes, fruits and sacred trees. In 1997 ce, the acre of land which gerry purchased originally in 1983 ce was given as a gift to The Rowan Tree Church toward securing the future of The Tradition of Lothloriën. This land plus the cottage and classroom which are the Beyerls’ home on the front lot are often known as ‘The Hermit’s Grove.’
Since that time, we have evolved and made many changes. Today, we exist as solitaires and as Communities scattered throughout North America. A variety of personal preferences based upon affection or sexual orientation are accepted. One need not be Wiccan to seek Membership in our Church: Lothloriën encompasses Members of a variety of beliefs. We have Members who, in addition to Lothloriën, practice other Wiccan Traditions and other faiths (including Christian) .
Our goal is not quantity in membership but quality. Our Members are found in both the United States and in Canada. We are a collective dedicated to our Mother Earth and to The Tradition of Lothloriën.
