Welcome to the Oak Henge Grove!
We are, as of December 2010, one of the new covens of the Unicorn Tradition of Wicca. The Unicorn Tradition has been in existence for a bit over three decades! Oak Henge Grove is a daughter coven of Phoenix Moon Grove (which closed its doors in 2010). We take as our emblems three things: The Oak tree (the Live Oak hereabouts), the stone circle, or Henge, and the Dragon. We look to the strength, stability, beauty, and knowledge of the Oak. We revere the mystery, and secrets of the Earth evident in a old circle of stones, as well as the yearly wheel it can represent. Balancing this with firey breath and airy wing, is the inspiration and transformative magic inherent in the Dragon.
We are an eclectic Grove and Coven, but with strong traditional foundation. We are a teaching and working group. We celebrate the eight sabbats of the year, as well as during phases of the moon. To those who are interested, we teach our way of spiritual reverence and practice in class form. We are also an initiatory tradition. We offer a five level, three degree system of practice, training, and achievement. Our curricula is such that the training and advancement in one branch of the tradition is equal to and comfortable/compatible with another.
We are a nature based religion. Our beliefs are garnered from what we observe and experience in viewing life, as well as our highest hopes and ideals. We see nature and diety as having a polarity we view as female and male. Goddess and God. Without either energy life would not exist. To praise the gifts of grape and grain we know that without Sun, water, earth, air, or the idea to cultivate these things, they would not exist-at least not in their present form. They exist equally, neither more important than, nor less than, the other.
Oak Henge Grove does not discriminate on basis of race, sex, age, gender, or sexual preference. The classes and ritual group work we offer does not require initiation. Nor does it promise it. Initiation is something acheived after study, practice, honorable intent, evidence of the will, and the agreement of Spirit. While we do not discriminate on basis of age, we do not take on students below the age of 21 without the signed agreement of parents or guardians. Before becoming students, they go through a screening, and interview. This is to ensure a safe, comfortable learning environment and spiritual practice for everyone.
Greetings Oak Henge Grove,
I am a 35 yr old woman whom is starting life all over again…. I will be studying transcendental psychology which is a 7 year program but I am patient because I have waited a long time to attend – premonition dream 12 years ago
I will be teaching reiki programs – fairy/merfolk/unicorn ,dragon reiki programs and Earth and Nature Healing Reiki Programs. All new from the founders! . I am contacting your Grove to see if there is anyone available for classes in the Canada Montreal area, or if on line lessons with initiations in person is a possibility. I thank you for your kindness, Love and light, Justine
Hi Justine,
Were you here in Austin, Texas, I would be happy to meet with you, sometime! Two things I can suggest: Look through the Unicorntrad.org site. You might contact Lady Arden to see of there is a teacher closer to you. Or in the interest of looking further afield, check WitchVox out, and especially in your area. If you do contact someone, ask lots of questions!!!
I understand how difficult starting over is. I hope your path is proving fruitful! I love reiki, and very much appreciate it. I had a gentleman give me a first and second attunement, more or less in the Stein methodology and way of passing. I’m not familiar with the new programs you mentioned but am fascinated!
I hear wonderful things about Montreal, and Canada. I fear the most northern I have been is Washington State in the mid to late eighties, and Tennessee in the east.
Now, here is the difficult part; Our Tradition is passed by class and word of mouth, and most Groves within the Trad tend to avoid putting our information out there on the net in cyberspace, for several reasons. Foremost being savvy hackers, and the fact there are still people out there who still think the only good witch is a crispy fried one. (As may be seen recently in politics–I still can’t beleive the nastiness being evidenced toward women, the LGBT, or anyone who is does not appear caucasion, or christian) So even with groups like Covenant of the Goddess out there, and so on, despite the U.S.’s stance on freedom of religeon, its still not totally safe.
Though this site is out there, as is my neck, so to speak, I’d rather keep anything else safe. And you too, for that matter!
Bright blessings and best wishes
GoldenOak
Greetings Again,
Love and Light, Justine
I will try Lady Arden and see if there is anyone closer…As for WitchVox, there are approximately 6 groups available, but none close to your path on any level. Thank you for replying so quickly
Hi Golden Oak,
They are available at Masters Healing Light Academy of Natural Healing founded by Tracy Loper and The School of Living Reiki Therapies by Jay Burrell. The Unicorn Reikis are individual or whithin the fairy/mermaid/unicorn attunement package with an indepth focus on 14 to 28 fairy folk reikis. These are large schools but offer excellent service. They also offer a brand new Dragon Reiki Attunements Program as well. These reikis (Dragon & Unicorn) were not available before Dec 2011 with some exceptions.The attunements are done by the founder by chi-ball method. When ready, you call in the energy from the universe for the particular reiki into your sacred space.They explain in detail how to do it. I was doubtful at first, but after the first 10 call-in’s and help form my higher guidance I became familiarized with the method. I hope this all helps. If you are interested in earth healing and crystals and such, there is something called New Earth Teacher Course Levels 1-9. I always had Pegasus as a friend but this program also attracts Blessed Unicorns too! Love and Light, Justine:)
I have my papers in front of me, so here we go! The new Unicorn Reikis are 1.Essential Unicorn Reiki, 2.Unicorn Shakti Reiki, 3.Angels and Unicorns Reiki, 4.Love and Return of The Unicorns, 5. Unicorn Healing System, 6.Pixie Unicorn Reiki
