Book Club - The church holds a Wiccan book club which meets at Books-a- Million in Gastonia, NC the second Thursday of each month. The meetings start at 7:00pm and are open to the public. Each month we feature a book of interest to Wiccans. Non-Wiccans are welcome to attend and contribute to discussions, of course. These meetings are not intended as a forum for debating the merits of Wicca itself, however, and disruptive individuals will be asked to leave.

Esbats - We hold esbats centered around the moon in various phases to honor the Goddess and to work magick. These gatherings are also a time of fellowship and social bonding. Esbats are typically held at the homes of members. Please call or email for directions


Business Meetings - Business meetings give members a chance to be part of the church's decision making process. Typical agenda items include scheduling and budgeting for rituals and other special events. The meeting is held in the small meeting room at the Shelby Memorial Library.

Lughnasadh - Lughnasadh is the celebration of the first harvest. It is named for the Celtic God, Lugh. We celebrate the grain harvest by sharing a loaf of bread baked into an anthropomorhic representation of the grain crop. click here for directions.


Mabon - Mabon, also called Harvest Home, is the Neopagan festival of the Autumn Equinox. Like the Sprng Equinox, it's a time of balance between dark and light, when there are equal hours of day and night. It is also the second of the year's three harvest festivals. We celebrate Mabon as the main ritual at the Charlotte/Piedmont Pagan Pride Day community event.
