Tradition/Spirtual Path: Modern Minoan Paganism
Contact Info
Group Description:
Modern Minoan Paganism is a living spirituality that is an ongoing process of connecting more deeply with the Web of Life. The people who lived on Crete four millennia ago and before enjoyed thousands of years of peace and prosperity, even as their neighbors were often enveloped in war and strife. We work to bring the same blessings into our lives and the world around us through building relationships with the same goddesses and gods they knew and loved.
Modern Minoan Paganism is a welcoming path, happily open to people of any race, ethnicity, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, ability level, disability, geographic location, language, education, or socio-economic status. Anyone who feels a connection with the gods and goddesses of the Modern Minoan pantheon, and wishes to develop a spiritual practice in relationship with them, is welcome. Modern Minoan Paganism is not an exclusive tradition. Members are welcome to participate in other traditions and spiritual paths at the same time as they practice Modern Minoan Paganism, as long as those other traditions do not prohibit them from doing so.
Gala Witchcraft - Wicca/Male Mysteries
Group Details
Group Name: Gala Witchcraft
Location: Online/Other
Tradition/Spirtual Path: Wicca/Male Mysteries/Gay Witchcraft
Contact Info
Website: www.galawitchcraft.com
Group Description:
Gala Witchcraft is not just Wicca for Gay men. With the addition of the Male Mysteries to modern Wicca, Gala Witchcraft is the re-emergence of a Gay priesthood. We do not claim to be a continuation of those august and ancient orders of Gay male priests that populated the ancient world, but a modern incarnation of the same energetic current.
Operating from the premise that Gay men were viewed as magical in every culture and that there are magical and spiritual practices exclusive to Gay men in every culture, Gala endeavors to transcend culture, pantheon, or system. The foundations of our tradition are European Witchcraft, specifically Wicca, but, like Gay men, we believe that the witch was also universal. Oshun and Yemaya are both credited with being witches within the African Diaspora Religions (ADRs). The Native American tribes had their medicine men. Several aboriginal cultures speak of witch doctors. Even Taoism has a "witchy" practitioner. No one culture owns the archetypal concept of the witch. In Gala, we actively encourage our members to explore the rich history of what it means to be a Gay male witch within their own ancestral framework.
Initiates of Gala are from all ethnicities, races, and backgrounds. Gala uses the Theosophical idea that every religion has a spark of truth within it, and we encourage each other to explore the universal occult truths. The men who participate in our tradition just happen to practice witchcraft as well as contribute to the re-awakening of the Gay Mystery Traditions.

Group Description:
Wolfsbane Application Server: https://discord.gg/m6RFEcpJ
WG is a brand new coven, extracted from the most dedicated and willing members of a previous coven. This coven is dedicated to creating a family-like environment for witches to bond, thrive, and share information. As a coven, we believe anyone can be a witch regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or any other factor. We believe magic is divided into the right and left-hand paths (as opposed to black vs white), that no witch should abuse their abilities, and that everyone contributes something rare to our group. We also believe in forging your own path, overcoming adversity, and finding the light in the darkness. As a coven, most of us are practitioners of the left-hand path, though you absolutely don’t have to practice the LHP to apply! We have no standard belief, practice, or religion that our members must follow beyond this.
Our most important rules for you to know before applying are as follows:
-
You must be willing to respect everyone and their privacy, and to not share coven issues outside of the coven.
-
You must be willing to follow common sense rules about server interaction.
-
No bigots or exclusionists. We support many groups of people including neo-pronoun users and systems.
-
If you fail to fill out the entire application you will not be considered.
You must be at least 16 years old to apply, and at most 21 years old. If you would like to request an age exemption, please reach out to me.
