Our Women's Lunar Rites are the touchstone rituals for our Sisterhood of the Moon Tradition of Witchcraft & Magick. As such, these ceremonies are ones we often revisit annually as a community in order to remember who we are. Because we are living in a kyriarchal, patriarchal world, we sometimes become lost, stepping away from ourselves and that which is most meaningful to us…even, at times, forgetting who we truly are and where we want to take our lives.
These rituals mark not only the passage of the lunar tides, they also serve as holy reminders, as sacred guideposts, helping us to discover ways in which we can recenter ourselves on our magickal pathway and in our life's missions.
An income-based sliding scale Tribute/Exchange of $40-$21 is due before each ritual gathering; our Student and Elders Tribute/Exchange is $20. Please read about our financial hardship and energy exchange here. No one is ever judged or turned away due to financial hardship. All of our rites are planned specifically for those who RSVP, and there are no refunds, credits, or exchanges once your registration has been received. This policy represents the sacred respect and value we hold for the work of our Priestesses. Unless otherwise noted, doors open at 7 p.m. with the circle cast promptly by 7:30 p.m.
Although most of these circles are open to all women, we are not a drop-in community and you need to RSVP by registering for each ritual you plan to attend. IMPORTANT: Some of our Women’s Lunar Rites have prerequisites for Celebrants. Before registering, please be mindful and read the full description to learn if a ritual is open to all or if you need to have previously circled with us.
Our Women’s Lunar Rites are for all women who identify and live as women in the world, trans and cis. You must be 18+ to join us unless attending with a parent or legal guardian. Some rituals are may be appropriate for children; please write to us first if you would like to bring your Little Ones. All attendees must familiarize themselves with our Community Code of Ethical Conduct.
“Sisterhood of the Moon has been the most empowering space I’ve ever been a part of. A true
sisterhood of love and compassion. This is a place where my heart and soul feel at peace. I’ve
found everything I was looking for in a group of women. I am blessed every time I step into the
Sanctuary. Everyone should experience a group like this.”
Matron: Brigid
The founding Circle of our community, our Women’s Lunar Rites are inclusive of all women of integrity, no matter experience level with group ceremony or magick. Join us in this supportive and sacred space—speak your truth, witness and be witnessed, release what no longer serves you, manifest your dreams. Step into your sovereignty and own your personal power-within as we honor one another, the Moon in all Her phases, and Goddesses from the myriad cultures represented by our Sisterhood and beyond. This container is held by Lady Jesamyn Angelica.
