We are currently open to new members. Sincere inquiries only.
Circle of the Ancient
Ways Temple accepts all people who are serious about the Old Path, regardless of race, former or current religious
or cultural heritage, and sexual orientation.
We do not expect you to inquire about joining based on this webpage
or even a few visits. If you're new to the Craft, you will be asked to complete our pre-Dedicant classes.
If you're
comfortable with us after visits at open Festivals and have shown demonstrated abllities and we're comfortable around you,
let's sit down and talk.
In other words, relax and get to known us as we get to know you. If our coven is "right"
for you and for us, we'll all know fairly quickly and you can then decide to join our family.

We expect prospective members to be well-read on the Craft and have a sincere interest to learn and live the daily life.
No financial compensation for our teaching is expected or required once a member of the coven.
If you are joining in a Sabbat, a Festival, you will be asked to bring a dish or non-alcoholic drinkk to pass.
If you are under the age of 18, we will have to meet with parent(s) or legal guardian(s). We will, with the knowledge
and permmission of parents and/or guardians, undertake the training of someone under 18.

The first step towards membership and initation in Circle of the Ancient Ways Temple is
a series of Ethics and information classes, which serve to introduce those interested to the basic ethical philosophy and
teachings. Upon completion, the seeker is qualified to accept the ritual of Dedication. At this ritual, the seeker publicly
states his or her acceptance of Pagansim as his or her way of life and is prepared to study and harmonize with wncient wisdom.
You can talk to us about membership any time throughout the year, but we do not initiate new Dedicants or begin dedication
classes during the Dark of the year, November through January (Samhain through Imbolq).
Because you must attend events
and meetings to benefit from this coven, if you cannot travel to northwest Indiana you should probably not contact us. Sorry,
we cannot provide a ride.
