We work to create this culture by changing ourselves, by living daily in a way that demonstrates acceptance of our bodies and our connections with the Earth. We do not try to convert others, trusting them to find their own paths. But we love our path. We believe that the ancient pagan way of life is the natural spiritual path of all beings. The Church is concerned with helping members to identify and shed the internalized values of the surrounding culture, values that we have each inherited to some extent, often without being aware of them.
American culture operates on values that oppress the human spirit and repress human feelings.
American law codifies christian morality. Literature, movies, and popular songs express the perspectives of a culture founded on a religion whose values are radically different from paganism. In many ways, pagans are an occupied culture. We seek to create a culture with different values, a culture based on acceptance of human needs and feelings, a culture focused on enjoyment of life. The Church is formed around a coven, which is the group of priests and priestesses trained in theology and religious leadership according to traditions of our religion, and dedicated to the work of The Church.
