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
responsible for a 2 mile section
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
at Got Books in Shelby, NC. The
meetings start at 6:00pm and are
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.
|
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.

at Got Books in Shelby, NC and the

open to the public. Each month
we'll be playing one or more pre-chosen games. |
Litha
- Litha, also called
Midsummer, is the Wiccan
festival of the Summer
Solstice. It's the time of
transition from the waxing
year to the waning year. We
mark this turning point witht
he symbolic battle of the Oak
King and the Holly King.

Great American Campout - Pack up your sleeping bags and tents and come on out, we have plenty of room for creekside camping at our church's rustic wooded site near Ellenboro. We'll have a communal campfire to cook on, and lots of outdoorsy fun to share. After our Litha gathering, we will be staying overnight at the church's Hollis road site. click here for directions.

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.
