The Goddess\\\'s Temple Wiccan Village is a center for training in Wicca. A school where many seasoned priestesses and priests are available to part their knowledge and life experiences with people interested in treading a Wiccan sacerdotal pathway or in knowing that pathway better.
We are a center for communal living, studying and celebrating the Goddess. We have places dedicated to worshiping, to learning and to living a pagan lifestyle.
"She changes everything she touches"
