The Temple of Brigantia, located in Wells, Maine, is a Wiccan partnership offering open Full Moons and apprenticeships in a Classical-Celtic tradition.

On March 6, 2004, the Temple of Brigantia performed a ritual honoring the rediscovered Celto-Roman goddess Senua -- possibly the first time she had received offerings in more than 1,500 years. Read more about it...

We draw our spiritual inspiration from the Celto-Roman period, when the native Celtic and conquering Roman cultures dwelt together and intermingled. For more on our tradition, see the Classical-Celtic Wicca page, which includes a list of deities and a list of books to help you learn more.

Our open Full Moon rituals alternate between a "Goddess" ritual, honoring the Triple Mothers, and a "God" ritual honoring Jupiter Cernunnos. Dates and other information will be announced in the EarthTides Pagan Network newsletter, on the Maine Pagan Mailing List, and at The Witches' Voice Maine page.

Those seeking training are welcome to attend one or more of our open rituals, and to seek further contact. Apprenticeships in the Temple of Brigantia require a long-term commitment and serious work on our part and on yours; we offer them gladly, but do not enter into them lightly.

Our practice grows out of years of Wiccan training and teaching, and strives for a balance between masculine and feminine energies, with an emphasis on earning respect through positive and ethical words and actions. We are committed to seeking accurate information on the practices of ancient religions while adapting them to the needs of the modern world.

General advice for Temple of Brigantia rituals:

• Bring food or drink for yourself and some to share. If unsure what to bring, ask.
• Wear clothes, bearing in mind that the ritual space is likely to be warm in summer and cold in winter. We wear black robes, but you needn't do so.
• Those under 18 may attend provided they are accompanied by a custodial parent or have written permission from one.
• Children 9 and over are OK provided they are capable of standing still and taking part in the ritual.
