Hekate's Sacred Temple 

 

Mission:

 

Hekate’s Sacred Temple-Torchbearer of the Crossroads welcomes all Pagans whether in a Coven, Spiritual Group or as a Solitary. We come together as Devotees of Hekate to worship Her in a safe environment and to make this Temple a strong member of the New York and New Jersey Pagan Community. We are a Hekatean Wiccan/ Pagan Coven whose Matron Goddess is Hekate, and honor Her in all of our rites and rituals and also acknowledge those deities that are associated with Hekate.

We believe in the Wiccan Principles, they are the following: The Wiccan Rede, the Rule of Three and the Thirteen Principles of Witchcraft. We welcome Pagans who wish to attend the Hekate’s Sacred Temple as long as the act in accordance with our principles. They are:

 

     > To promote the practice and understanding of Pagan, Wiccan and all Earth-centered traditions.

     > To hold regular rituals. We celebrate both the Full and Dark/New Moon Esbats, all Eight Sabats on The Wheel of the Year

          as well as all of Hekate's Festival Days. 

     > To explore and celebrate in a safe and supportive environment the history, spell work, and formal Rituals of Hekate.

     > To share, teach, learn, and explore by modeling, by mentoring, by demonstration, by oral and written traditions, and by

          workshops and classes.

     > To affirm each other as we each follow our own individual spiritual path through this life.

 

We maintain an environment that is safe, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We respect boundaries and comfort levels of self and others. 

We are sanctioned by New York State as a Non-Profit Religious Organization with all the rights and privileges that a legal non-profit in the state has.  By the law, only nonprofit religious organizations are authorized to hold public services.

 

Hail Hekate!
