Founded in 1989, we are a Minnesota/Twin Cities based 501(c)(3) spiritual organization which celebrates our connections to the Earth and to the Cosmos. How?

We focus on community based rituals to celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year. The Wiccan Church of Minnesota (WiCoM) celebrates both Goddess and God, embracing the many traditions and mythologies that have supported and comforted humankind since we first looked to the skies in awe and asked "What? Why?"

Our church was founded more than 25 years ago as an "umbrella organization" which acknowledges and honors the myriad ancient paths to Divine connection. Although much of our work is structured around current Wiccan formats and mythologies, it is by no means limited to Wicca in focus or intent. We do not, at this point, have a specific brick-and-mortar location, and typically rent our space from other organizations. The mission of the Wiccan Church of Minnesota is to:
• provide a meeting place for the modern (Neo)Pagan community,
• provide a common ground for the community by providing resources for religious and ministerial training for our members,
• promote information exchange and raise public awareness,
• maintain communications with the Pagan community at large,
• provide access to rituals for members not associated with a coven,
• provide a reference library

WiCoM sponsors group rituals for all eight focus points (sabbats), as well as for other special events and occasions. These rituals are typically open to the public. Each event is overseen by volunteers selected by the ceremonial leaders of the organization, the May Queen and Green Man, who are chosen each year by lottery at Beltaine. As have so many other community organizations, recent societal developments, primarily pandemic-related, have prompted us to curtail much of our community-level activity.

Samhain is the time of year when the veils between the worlds are the thinnest. Divination is easier, but unkind spirits have more chance to affect us. Join us for a ritual charging amulets for protection and divination afterwards. We will dance and charge and then partake in divination. You can dance in your chair as well as on the floor. Come and have fun with Samhain!

Come, join the Wiccan Church of Minnesota's Mabon celebration as we do a recreation of the Eleusinian Rites. The Eleusinian Mysteries were ancient Greece's most famous secret religious celebration, held annually in September for the Cult of Demeter and Persephone. The rites were also a celebration of Hekate, for her role in the rescue of Persephone.

2026 Lunasa/Lughnasadh

Join us on August 1 as we celebrate the feast of Lugh, Master of All Arts.

We will ask Lugh's blessing on our tools, so that we may use them with reverence and skill.

Because it's not practical to bring every tool you use, please choose no more than three tools that will represent all your tools, whether they are professional, magical, or the tools you use in work you do for the joy of it. As the chalice represents all water, so the tools we bring to this ritual will represent all our tools.

2026 Midsummer

Feast of the strawberries in celebration of the 250th birthday of the USA.

Everybody enjoyed the feast of the strawberries last year, so we’re doing it again, with a twist. Come help celebrate the 250th birthday of the USA, in a kinder, gentler way. We will invite the four Goddesses of America, and then stuff our faces. Dessert is first this time. There will not be gluten-free cookies, but you can do it without the cookies. However, as last year, if you are allergic to strawberries, don’t come. You cannot avoid them. What we began at Imbolc, we are adding to at this Sabbat. Good food, good fun and nice people, what’s not to like?

Well behaved children are welcome. Bring something to share for the potluck, if you can. See you at Midsummer!

WiCoM Beltane Ritual Celebration

Beltane Threshold Ritual: Crossing into Becoming

At Beltane, we stand at a sacred threshold—the turning from spring toward summer, when life begins to take form and the boundary between worlds is said to grow thin. In this liminal space, the visible and invisible draw closer, and what has been gives way to what is emerging. In this ritual, we will gather in a circle “between worlds” and work with a symbolic threshold marked by fire and living greenery.

Each participant will be invited to release what is ready to be left behind, enter the fertile space of uncertainty and possibility, name what is emerging within them, and cross the threshold in a moment of embodied transition. This is not about forcing change, but about listening deeply and participating in what is already unfolding. You are invited to come as you are—and to step, consciously, into becoming.

WiCoM Ostara Ritual Celebration

March in Minnesota… we know not to trust it. The robins show up and a few days later the forecast says a foot of snow. Our eyes are hungry for the sight of green leaves.

The gardeners among us know that it’s not time to plant yet - but it’s time to plan. It’s time to decide what we want to harvest later on, and get ready to plant the seeds of that crop.

In this ritual, we will dig into our late-March impatience to discover what work we need to start this spring to harvest what we hope for this fall.

WiCoM Imbolc Ritual Celebration

The cauldron of rebirth allows us to reflect, renew and regenerate. At Imbolc we bring out the cauldron and put our hopes and fears into the cauldron and bring forth something new. We need a reset of the attitude of this country. We need a kinder, gentler and more accepting vibe to spread across the land and effect change. Come and do a working to accomplish a new outlook for the US, with the help of Lady Liberty, that we may go forth together and work effectively.

MVUUC has a policy that their doors should be locked, so please be aware as you arrive that you need to ring the bell, and someone will open the door for you.

Notice: UU Door Policy

In response to recent violence, MVUUF has implemented a new door policy to help ensure everyone’s safety. The entrance door must now be either monitored or locked at all times.

If no one is stationed at the entrance when you arrive, please ring the doorbell located on the side of the entrance to be let in.

To help minimize disruptions, we kindly ask that you arrive a little early for ritual. If you arrive after the ritual has begun, someone will step out of the circle to let you in. Please be aware that this may take a few minutes.

Thank you for your understanding and care for our shared space.

WiCoM Yule Ritual Celebration

Yule, the celebration of the Winter Solstice, marks the longest night of the year and the moment when the sun begins its gradual return. Across many traditions, it is a time that honors the resilience of life during the cold and darkness, the slow rebirth of the light, and the deep renewal that emerges from stillness. Yule reminds us that even in the darkest season there is a spark of hope growing quietly beneath the surface, promising new beginnings, warmth, and the eventual flourishing of brighter days.

Our ritual will draw upon the strength and symbolism of Norse mythology to deepen our celebration of Yule. We acknowledge the powerful presence of Odin and the Wild Hunt—forces that sweep through the darkest nights, clearing away fear, stagnation, and the remnants of the old year. Together we honor the returning sun as a symbol of renewed hope and rising courage. Each participant will charge a crystal or personal token with the light of the Sol candle and the protective, wisdom-bearing energy of Odin. This talisman will serve as a reminder throughout the coming year that even in challenging times, the light returns, courage endures, and we carry within us the strength to move toward brighter days.
