Group Overview: Introduction
Blessings to you of the Blackberry Vine
You will find this group has it's religious beliefs but it is more of an occult order and mystery tradition that takes one to the heart of your own personal Godhead. There is an inner Pagan Sisterhood. However we also celebrate Full Moons with our Priests in our tradition known as Plutarchs. Male guests are welcome as well if they would like to experience our rituals and perhaps in time train as Plutachs themselves.
Others may belong to Wiccan Covens as we do not provide Wiccan worship. We do not worship the God in our circle, although you may choose to personally.
So yes there are Wiccans amongst us but they are fully apart of our group and practice as we do in our circle. There are also many other paths. I personally have my own male Deities but they do not come into this Oracle Circle. What unites us is our love and devotion for the Dark Mother in her many guises, and the love of our Sisters and Brothers.
We provide services of the Dark Mother on her behalf for our respective communities. Currently we have two certified hospice volunteers, who can reach out to the Pagan community for end of life care. Our clergy is legalized through the Universal Life Church. Currently one of our Priestesses has a Third Degree Reiki Attunement, who's services are available by donations to The Oracle.
Resources on our group sites will be provided for you to look up information to aid you in your study. We INCLUDE SOLITARY PRACTITIONERS. There is a Mother Coven that keeps track of the Sisters, and our activities, however we are promoting our Dark Goddess tradition here, not so much as the Mother Coven. The tradition itself is called Witches of the the Blackberry Field. The Mother Coven is known as The Oracle, because the Oracle of Delphi was called the navel of the Greek world, therefor the Mother Coven is the navel of the tradition of the WBBF. Please note this is not an online coven.
Our tradition is based on Greek, Chaldean, Egyptian, Sumerian, Celtic and Eastern Mysticism (yes my library at home is huge) . Our tradition is influenced by Hermeticism, and Wicca but we are neither and one can clearly see this when reading our files. We follow the teachings very closely of the Hellenistic Hekate, of what her Oracles left behind in writing, as well as the practices of the Oracle of Delphi (minus the animal sacrifices) .
If you have further inquires please read the FAQ section of our website and if your question is not there then please contact me.
We do offer open circles every Dark Moon as a public service to women looking to burn away the negative and invoke the various blessings of the Dark Mother, such as healing, wisdom, courage etc depending on the ritual that night. We work with and honor a different Dark Lady every circle.
In addition to our rites of the various moon fazes we do have a set of our own Sabbats, which you can learn more about at our website.
Once again please contact me here for more details.
Blessings to you of the Torchlight Divine
The White Lady and Oracle Mother

(always slaying inner demons, Jai Kali Ma )
Notes:
We are not a "goth" circle we come from many different backgrounds.
We are not a "Vampire" or Satanic group, nor do we have anything to do with the fiction known as the Necromonicon. What you do in your own time is your business though.
This is not a group for RPGs, we expect serious study and devotion to our religious path.
The Sisterhood is a supportive tradition which is why we work with the Dark Mother, to seek the Light in the Darkness and merge with that Light.
We are not a substitute for professional counseling or medication., we are in addition to as spiritual support.
We are a robed circle and do not practice skyclad.
Our Oracles do not do drugs and are expected to be responsible during a session.
All hospice volunteers are expected to undergo the same legal training as anyone else.
We do not preform nor train clergy for Handfastings, only funerals and baby blessings.
