What is it like to be part of an initiatory coven? What do they do? What is a lineage? What does it mean to be part of a priesthood? What is a mystery religion? What is required for initiation? Join Temple of the Rising Phoenix Matriarch and several Priests and Priestesses of this American Wiccan Tradition as they present a panel on what it is like to be part of an initiatory lineage. Members will share their personal experiences "both challenges and rewards“ of being part of a longstanding lineage of over 45 years and learning and growing in this kind of structure. The Tradition is a syncretic, initiatory, mystery religion dedicated to the worship of the Goddess and God through ritual practices, magick and esoteric processes for the purposes of enlightenment, spiritual advancement, and attunement with nature.
A few years back, we explored concepts of rewilding for ourselves and our spiritual communities. Now we are taking the next step of removing ourselves from situations, people and places that no longer nourish or nurture us. Stepping out into the world, where do you find the Divines and how do they look? How do you find the courage to engage deeply with the Spirit-folk we call Gods and Ancestors? Come explore the concept of feral church and how it applies to you, your life and the people that surround you.
