Temple of the Roses

Temple of the Roses The Temple of the Roses was founded by practitioners with diverse and eclectic Wiccan backgrounds.

The Temple of the Roses is a non-profit, 501c3 church, founded by Eclectic Wiccan practitioners that caters to solitaires, but strives for inclusivity, offering a pathway for ordination to achieve rights comparable to clergy in other faiths. Although we are geared more towards solitaires, we identified a community need to create an inclusive space for both solitary and coven-bound individuals. Add

itionally, we established a pathway for ordination as Wiccan clergy with the goal of achieving legal, moral rights, privileges, and responsibilities on par with clergy in other faiths, religious denominations, orders, or sects. Equally important, we acknowledge the communal requirements of both solitary practitioners and members of established covens. As a result, our practice remains dynamic, constantly evolving with the inclusion of each new member

The Temple of the Roses is concerned by the removal of Pagan, Wiccan, Druid, and other minority faith designations from the Department of Defense religious affiliation list. While the Pentagon has stated this change is administrative in nature, we believe visibility and recognition matter. Pagan service members have served this country honorably for decades and deserve to have their faith traditions acknowledged and respected. We support the religious liberty of all service members and stand in solidarity with those affected by this decision.
