Our Ethics
Our tradition embraces pluralism and encourages self-responsibility and integrity. We don’t prescribe moral law upon our membership or have lists of rules by which they must abide. We do have ethical guidelines and values to which we subscribe as an organization, which can be found in our bylaws. Every member has committed to certain aims and to the support of our community.
As an organization, we have also prepared the following statement as of May 2017.
Statement on Social Justice and Environmental Responsibility
As a Neopagan order, we work closely with friends and supporters of many backgrounds and traditions, providing mutual support. We strive to approach the world and one another with open hearts.
We stand firmly with marginalized, oppressed, and beleaguered people.
We staunchly oppose racism, authoritarianism, patriarchy, sexism, xenophobia, and ageism. We believe in the need to constantly challenge bias and discrimination in our communities.
We reject the cruelty of our current corporate capitalist society. We believe in inclusivity for all economic backgrounds.
We encourage compassion for people of all traditions, practices, and identities while standing up for those whose voices have been silenced.
We celebrate those who challenge sexual and gender identity norms.
We aspire to make our work accessible to those of varying abilities and physical conditions.
We affirm that sexual consent and respect for personal autonomy are essential.
We value the Earth, the environment, and all the beings who share this world with us, and reject the destructive practices all too common in our society. We encourage our members and allies to live in a way that reduces environmental destruction and helps to preserve biodiversity and wild places.
We are consistently working to improve our inclusivity and understanding and invite constructive feedback on ways that we might improve. There’s more to come on this page, but if you have questions, comments, or suggestions please don’t hesitate to reach out.
