WiCoM sponsors group rituals for all eight Wiccan sabbats, as well as for other special events and occasions. Many of these rituals are open to the public or invited guests who are not members. Certain events are open only to the membership and their guests. Each event is overseen by volunteers selected by the ceremonial leaders of the organization, the May Queen and Green Man, who are chosen each year by lottery at Beltaine.

Congratulations ...
to Adamina our new May Queen; to John, our new Green Man; and to Emrys Anu, our Fool for the 2013-2014 Wheel of the Year. May their tenure in office be as eventful as they might wish.

Upcoming Events:

Saturday, May 18, 2013 - Estelle Daniels' Intensive One-Day course in Hellenistic astrology, 12:30 - 9:00 p.m. Venue Pending. Astrology has been one of the foundations of magical and esoteric thought for at least the last 7000 years. This class will offer instruction in these ancient but basic techniques of the art. It is designed to introduce people new to astrology and will have information that will be useful for well-seasoned students of the Esoteric arts.

This class is different from Estelle's previous Astrological Intensive class. This is the first time she has presented this material.

WiCoM (the Wiccan Church of Minnesota) has an ongoing commitment to providing educational opportunities to the Pagan community. This class will be free except for a small charge for materials. Donations gratefully accepted.

Statement of Faith:

“For there are three great events in the life of man -- love, death and resurrection in the new body -- and magic controls them all. To fulfill love you must return again at the same time and place as the loved ones, and you must remember and love her or him again. But to be reborn you must die and be ready for a new body; to die you must be born; without love you may not be born, and this is all the magic.”

There's a great deal number of social debates happening in our country. While it is illegal for churches to endorse an individual candidate, it is permitted to endorse a position on an issue.

To that end, we wish to quote from our Membership Handbook, Article 20 from our By-Laws:

It is the conviction of the Wiccan Church of Minnesota that: as the Goddess and God are everywhere and within everything, and that all interconnections and consensual interactions express Their Sacred Will; therefore do we recognize, validate, and sanctify any and all stable, nurturing relationships between consenting adults.
(Adopted 1/20/91)

And it's Not Just Us!
On March 29, 2012, as part of the campaign to defeat a constitutional amendment to restrict the definition of marriage, a multi-faith alliance of folks dedicated to equal treatment of all persons under the laws of the land came together at Zion Temple in Saint Paul in a celebration of their unity: Minnesotans United for All Families. There were representatives from many Christian denominations, and from the Jewish communities; from multiple ethnicities and races. 

One of our Elders was asked to present on behalf of the Wiccans/NeoPagans of the Twin Cities area.

We were recently provided a link to the video collage documenting the event...

Enjoy!
