About Us

Born on Imbolc in 2010, Sisterhood of the Moon is the San Francisco Bay Area’s premier Goddess community. Located in Hayward, CA, we are a community of empowered people of integrity meeting for Goddess rituals and other inspired offerings, guided by our Community Code of Ethical Conduct, the foundation of our collective work.

Our Sisterhood of the Moon Priestesses facilitate open circles that meet monthly for lunar magick, Goddess worship, solar celebrations, and other cosmic rites. Our founding circle—Women's Lunar Rites—is open to, and inclusive of, all women, both trans and cis.

On Spring Equinox in 2016, Lady Sabrina Moon opened our doors and hearts to two new circles: Solar Tribe and The Hive; she is the High Priestess for both of these containers.  Solar Tribe is open to all genders and ages, and The Hive Youth Group is a ritual teaching circle for youth of all genders ages 11- 13.

For those who live away from the Bay Area or cannot participate in an in-person rite, we offer the option of joining us “in the ethers” through our solitary Astral Temple Distance Rites.

Please note that you must be 18+ to join us unless attending with a parent or legal guardian.

We primarily meet at a private home in Hayward, CA (East Bay). During times of fair weather, around Spring Equinox to Fall Equinox, we meet outdoors in our Sacred Grove. During times of inclement weather, after Fall Equinox until before Spring Equinox, we meet indoors in our Sanctuary. Please dress accordingly! We can do no true magick if we are not physically comfortable.

In addition, there are times when we pilgrimage together to perform ritual at other locations and sacred sites.

Unless otherwise specified, our doors open at 7 p.m. and the circle is cast by 7:30 p.m. Most evenings, we hold the intention of finishing ritual by 9 p.m. We do not engage in lengthy check-ins during circle, so arriving when the Temple doors open is highly encouraged as a good way to get to know and become a part of our community. 

About two weeks before each ritual (i.e., on the Dark Moon for Full Moon ritual, etc.), you will receive an email invitation to and instructions for that particular rite. Please RSVP individually for each ritual you plan to attend.

For this fifteenth year of circling together, through January 2025, the women of our community are reading Circe by Madeline Miller. If you wish to deepen your spiritual practice with us, please read the pages assigned for each month and join our Community Chat List for a lively discussion. 

We also invite you to peruse our current Recommended Reading List!

Women in our community gather each year on or near the High Holyday of Imbolc for our Annual Imbolc Rite of Dedication & Initiation, and to celebrate our Sisterhood's birthday.
