We therefore ask that those who seek to identify with us accept these basic principles:

  We believe that all of nature is a Sacred manifestation of the Great Spirit, where all things seek balance and are interconnected. The Goddess and God are a personification of this Great Spirit and are incarnate in the soul of each human;

  We believe that because there are so many different spiritual paths, each person must find their own way, searching for the deity in whatever form it may manifest. We respect all such attempts to find spiritual enlightenment; As Witches, we welcome and respect all life-affirming teachings and traditions, and seek to learn from all and to share our learning within our Grove;

  We believe that we can see our God and Goddess in all things. The Great Spirit shows itself to us as the female principle of ecstasy, fertility and creation: The Lady (or the Goddess) of Nature and the Earth; and the male principle of procreation: The Lord (or the God) of the Sun and the Hunt (which are only a few of their aspects);

  We believe that we should offer love and spiritual dedication to our Divine Earth Goddess and our Celestial God. We insist on a dynamic balance between female and male deities honored and/or invoked at every ceremony and encourage a gender balance within our priest/esshood. We communicate directly with and relate to our God and Goddess and with the Elemental realms on a personal level;

  We believe that Magick is a viable tool to bring about change in our lives as well as the things around us, ever remembering the Law of Threefold Return, that whatever is sent forth, returns threefold; therefore we believe in a form of Karmic law which reminds us that our actions affect everything, and retribution comes from the Law of the Gods;

  We believe that the Soul is eternal and all the children of the Gods Reincarnate, but the form of the Reincarnation may vary depending upon the spiritual maturity of the individual and whether he or she wishes to follow his or her soul's pathway;

  We believe that Nature and Spirit are linked...that without this relationship there is disharmony and imbalance; We believe that it is necessary to have a respect and love for Nature which is divine in her own right and to accept ourselves as a part of Nature and not as her "rulers." We honor the four sacred elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water...and NO ONE can own them or use them for their own personal gain;

  We believe that every living and non-living thing are a part of the Great Spirit; the animals, humans, forests, mountains, lakes, fields, rocks, and soil. We believe that all living creatures are the children of the God and the Goddess and like them, we have a spiritual as well as a physical existence;

  We believe that the human body is a beautiful work of nature, therefore, sometimes our rituals and festivals are conducted in a naked and natural state showing respect for and identity with the Earth Mother;

    We believe that when you are initiated, you are joined spiritually, mentally and physically with our tradition. Prior to initiation you receive a comprehensive knowledge of our Heritage, Lineage, history, philosophy, and religion;

  We believe that it is possible for Initiation to give you a true realization of your Oneness with the God and Goddess, the Lord and Lady. This is Enlightenment. This should be your ultimate goal as well as the result of your spiritual evolution;

  We believe that you should respect Nature, the Gods, the Old Ones, your parents, and your ancestors in the Religion;

  We believe our Rituals are a celebration of religion, recognizing the cycles of the Moon and the turning of the seasons.  We thus become attuned to Nature, bringing us closer to the natural rhythm of life;

  We believe that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility toward our environment. We seek to live in harmony with Nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept. We consider ecological awareness and activism to be sacred duties;

  We believe in a depth of power far greater than is apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary, it is sometimes called "supernatural," but we see it as a natural potential existing within all people;

  We believe in a Creative Power in the Universe as manifesting through polarity - as masculine and feminine - and that this same creative Power lives in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive of the other. We value sexuality as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of Life, and as one of the sources of energies used in Magickal practice and religious worship;

  We believe and recognize both the outer worlds and the inner, or psychological worlds - sometimes known as the OtherWorld, Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, the Inner Planes, etc. - and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomenon and Magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment;

  We believe that we must honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership;

  We believe that religion, Magick, and wisdom-in-living are united in the way one views the world and lives within it - a world view and a philosophy of life, which we identify as Witchcraft or the Witches Way;

  We believe that calling oneself "Witch" does not make one a Witch - but neither does heredity itself, or the collecting of titles, degrees, and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within him/herself that makes life possible in order to live wisely and well, without harm to others, and in harmony with Nature;

  We believe that it is the affirmation and fulfillment of life, in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness, that gives meaning to the Universe we know, and to our personal role within it;

  We believe that we must work within Nature for that which is contributory to our health and well-being.
