Sacred Crossroads is a Traditional Gardnerian Coven of the Long Island Line. We also claim Alexandrian lineage and have been adopted into the Protean Family, but prefer the more traditional liturgy and praxis of the Long Island Gardnerians. Our covenstead is located in Wayne, Pennsylvania and we offer training to men and women interested in following a traditional, oath-bound path. We worship both God and Goddess and place an emphasis on the polarity between male and female energies. Sacred Crossroads follows a three-degree system of initiation and elevation.

The initiation process is important because it marks our progress through the journey of our lives. It provides a push toward personal and spiritual growth by bringing the challenges that are our life lessons to the forefront where we can face them head on. The process of initiation and elevation helps to keep us true to ourselves and our path.

Our Craft practice follows a strict traditional structure. However, we use that structure as a framework and build on it in a way that allows the freedom to express personal spiritual beliefs and concepts of deity. Coven members are encouraged to use their creativity to bring a fullness and richness to ritual and magickal practice.

We sponsor an Outer Court group called the Inner Path. These are folks who have taken our Introduction to Traditional British Wicca Series and want to continue learning, but are not yet ready for the commitment of working within a coven. We provide continuing learning experiences for them.

We worship the Lord and Lady through the Wheel of the Year, and with the help of the Inner Path and our daughter covens, Stone Circle Coven and Awen Forge Coven, offer open ritual to the community for each of the eight Sabbats. Special classes and workshops are offered occasionally as well. Check the calendar of events for dates and times. Full and New Moon celebrations are not open to guests.

It is the focus of the Coven to support personal growth and foster positive change. We gather at the Sacred Crossroads where we find the Cauldron of Transformation. It is here we meet our challenge to develop the impetus for that growth and change within the cauldron of life, death and rebirth. We rejoice in having spiritual family who love us and support us through this process of change.

We also rejoice in being part of the larger Gardnerian community, knowing that we have family all over the world, and look forward to attending gatherings where we can meet, share ritual and get to know one another.
