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 church's
rustic site on Hollis road in
Ellenboro.

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. We sometimes hold our
business meetings online,
using Zoom.

Highway
Cleanup - Our church
participates in the NC "Adopt A
Highway" program. We are

of street extending from highway
74, just in front of the Walmart
turn-in, down Dekalb St to just
in front of the hospital.

Wicca
Wednesday - The
church holds a monthly Wiccan
discussion group on the first
Wednesday of each month. We meet

open to the public. Each month
we feature a different Wiccan
topic of interest. 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.

Imbolc - Imbolc
celebrates the return of
spring's longer days. It's
name connects it with the
first production of milk for
young lambs and kids. We
celebrate Imbolc with the
lighting of candles and other
fires. call

Ostara - Ostara marks
the time of the Spring
Equinox. It takes it's name
from the Saxon Goddess of the
dawn. We celebrate Ostara as a
fertility festival by coloring
eggs and practicing
divination.

Club - The church

interest to Wiccans.

Hollis
Road Site - The
church holds most of our
rituals at a rustic wooded
site on Hollis Road, between
Ellenboro and Polkville. The
site has limited parking and
very primitive amenities. Our
rituals are held out of doors
and there is currenlty no
permanent structure on the
property. Please dress in
weather-appropriate clothing,
including sensible footwear.
If possible, please also bring
your own folding camp chair.
In warm weather, you may also
wish to bring something to
wear into the creek.
Directions to the site are
available through Google
Maps.
