mission & Values
Since our founding in 1974, the Blue Star Tradition of Wicca has been committed to positive service to the Pagan community. Like most Craft traditions, Blue Star is composed of many independent, autonomous covens and groves; therefore, no individual or organization can speak for the Tradition as a whole. The following is Rose & Antler's statement on our mission and values.
Rose & Antler pursues personal development and self-actualization through the worship of the Gods and the practical application of the Craft, emphasizing personal responsibility for oneself and commitment to community.
We are a tolerant and inclusive coven based in British Traditional practices. We welcome Seekers looking for what we have to offer without discrimination based on ethnicity, race, culture, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion, or physical ability.
We believe Black Lives Matter. Trans Lives Matter. Love is Love. Women's Rights are Human Rights. Science is Real. We Are All Immigrants. Water is Life. "On every act, the whole depends…"
Rose & Antler is committed to the well-being of our peers in the Pagan community and society at large. Any act, unlawful or otherwise that harms the safety, sanity, and security of others, is anathema to the values, principles, and teachings of our Tradition.
As Initiates, we endeavor to guide our lives and actions by our Tenets of Faith, mindfully holding them in earnest.
Balance: We strive for balance in all things, within ourselves, our communities, with Nature and the Universe.
Harmony: Pursuing harmony, we begin to accept Life as something to experience and learn from rather than fight.
Humility: With humility, we recognize that we are but a tiny part of the vast whole. We cultivate self-worth without conceit.
Tolerance: Finding the God and Goddess in everyone makes tolerance a part of who we are.
Learning: Every day is an opportunity to learn. The more we learn, the more there is to learn.
Trust: We work to earn the trust of each other, our communities, and the Gods. If there is no trust in the world, there can be no love.
Reincarnation: We enjoy the freedom to experience and learn in this lifetime, knowing those lessons will be carried forward with Spirit into our next manifestation.
