A Little Bit about Adventure Wicca

Humanity's affinity for adventure is ageless; the Adventure Tradition dates back to 1984, when founders O'Gaea and Canyondancer realized their celebrations of belief had a name: Wicca.

They hosted Beltane Village I in 1987. In 1988, they were among the founders of the Tucson Area Wiccan-Pagan Network (TAWN). And in 1989, they formally declared the Tradition of Adventure Wicca, after practicing it in Campsight Circle since 1987.

O'Gaea took her 3rd Degree at Litha of 1990; Canyondancer took his in 1992. Campsight was established as Adventure's first formal coven in 1991 and dissolved (amicably) in 2004. In 1995 and 2000, Campsight presented the annual Mabon rite at TAWN's Fall Fest, and on several occasions O' and C have presented workshops and hosted other open rituals for TAWN.

Crossroads Coven began as a Celtic Reconstructionist coven, and became an Adventure coven. Hearth's Gate formed in 2003 as a successor to Campsight (and is currently on hiatus until its leaders, Vasalisa and Murchadh, can return to Arizona). Foursight encovened at Bride of 2009 as the fourth in the Adventure line (and is presently open to new members).

Adventure enters the forest where the trees are thickest; we honor the past and shape the future. Adventure's pillars are a brave heart, a hospitable camp, and the urge -- no, the calling -- to see what's beyond the next bend. A principle business of Adventure Wicca is the confrontation of "shadow guardians," those fears and prejudices that hold our personal power until we reclaim it.
