Core Beliefs
Emerge Your Authentic Self and Align With Spirit to Fulfill Your Soul's Purpose!
The Symbolism of Our Sigil
Except the keys, all elements are in the center symbolizing the Authentic Self is centered and grounded. Since we strive to become the Authentic Self, Evermoving We Rise is constantly grounded and centered. Silver represents the Goddess, and our connection with all things including the Higher Self and the Divine. The circle absorbs everything, showing our obsession with the Authentic Self, living our Soul’s purpose and passion, and being in alignment with Spirit.
The keys symbolize opportunities for the Authentic Self to emerge, grow, and serve Soul’s purpose with passion as it is in alignment with Spirit. The keys are on the opposite sides of the Goddess to show that the Divine provides opportunities, and those opportunities are constantly surrounding us.
The Phoenix shows that the Authentic Self must burn, rise up, and emerge from the ashes of the Condition Self. Each color represents the following: Purple (Spirit), Red (Passion), Orange (Positivity), and Yellow (Never Ending Learning).
The Moon Goddess represents the Divine. She is reaching for the Moon and Stars to connect with the Higher Self, the Divine portion of our Souls, and Spirit.
The orbits represent the Soul. The Soul is moving upward connecting with the Higher Self and the Divine.
The color black symbolizes the beginning and the ending. It reminds us that we are always in the cycle of Life, Death, and Transformation.
Awareness, Individualism,
Evolving, and Searching For Deep Answers so the Authentic Self Can Emerge!
Our Beliefs and Membership
We are a collection of individuals, each on the same and yet different path of our Soul’s ever evolving journey. As such, we are respectful of each person’s manner of Spiritual expression. Tradition implies being stuck or unable to move. We prefer the word path, as that word implies movement.
Our Path is based upon the idea that inner truth is universal in nature, and that inner truth is expressed through many outer forms. We teach Deity comes to each person in a manner that is best understood for the individual, and which is unique to her/him/them.
Everything is constantly growing and evolving. We believe each one of us is Soul, which is the greatest gift Deity can give. As such, we each possess Deity within us. We believe in magic and the powers of the Soul, accessible through effort by our conscious mind. Magic is a tool that helps us to better understand our lives, promote spiritual growth, and fulfill our increasing innate potential. We know and understand we begin each life with the Condition Self in charge. We must constantly work on emerging our Authentic Selves so we can continue with our Soul’s journey, and be in alignment with Deity and Spirit. Our Authentic Selves are our own Soul’s individual power. As our Authentic Selves walk Mother Earth, we are able to be in beneficial service to others and ourselves so we can create and design this world to be better than it was when we first arrived.
Our beliefs allow us freedom to decide your own path. We believe education can assist us in obtaining knowledge, understanding, and personal growth. As such, we offer the option of our First Degree program can be taken for information and knowledge only, or you can become a member of Clergy at the end of the Degree program. If you do wish to become a member of our Tradition, you can become an Outer Court Member or an Inner Court Member. The difference between the two is the Inner Court Member is an initiated clergy member, and the Outer Court Member is not, but is still a valuable part to our Temple’s lives and the world.
Shadow Work
We believe in Shadow Work. In order to cast magick and maintain one’s center, a Witch must possess the discipline to control one’s emotions at all times. In order to accomplish that task, one must go deep within one’s core or spiritual foundation, remove what is no longer needed, and emerge hidden talents that serve you. This is called Shadow Work. Shadow Work helps establish the solid spiritual foundation a Witch must possess.
