Circle of the Awakened Forest

Location: Wake Forest

“And thou who thinkest to seek Her, know thy seeking and yearning shall avail thee not unless thou knowest the mystery; that if that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, then thou wilt never find it without thee” Merry Meet!

We are an established British Traditional Gardnerian Witchcraft teaching group located in the Raleigh/Wake Forest area. We are 3* Initiates of the same. We are open to seekers SPECIFICALLY interested in the possibility of being initiated into a formal Gardnerian Coven if mutually desired. Our training is NOT based on a “year and a day” model, as a Seeker’s journey progresses differently and in their own time. This is a commitment of time and patience. If you seek training in British Traditional Gardnerian Witchcraft it is important that you thoroughly research this Tradition as all Traditions are different, and not suited to every seeker. We highly recommend reading, Traditional Wicca: A Seeker’s Guide by Thorn Mooney and Stewart Farrar’s “What Witches Do”.

We will email you a short application and once completed, we can set up a face-to-face meeting (in a public venue, of course). Our application is NOT optional. It is important for us to determine if our teachings and your expectations are one and the same. That said, there are no right or wrong answers, we just want to learn more about you!

We teach British Traditional Gardnerian Witchcraft whose tenets are now and will remain unchanged from that which was passed down via our lineage from Gerald Brousseau Gardner. We are open to individuals of ALL races, sexual orientations, and gender identifications and only ask that research, understand, and respect these tenets before reaching out to us. Our ties are based on love, trust, and respect. If you come to us, we expect nothing less from you.

In Darkness, Light!
