About the Green Faerie Grove
BTW is a spiritual and educational outreach program of The Green Faerie Grove of Columbus, Ohio - a Queer Pagan Brotherhood. All proceeds from BTW benefit the mission of The Green Faerie Grove.The Green Faerie Grove (GFG) of Columbus, Ohio is a pagan brotherhood for queer men. Our mission is to provide a safe place for gay, bisexual, and transgender men to worship creation in all of its awesome, diverse splendor in community and brotherhood. GFG was founded Yule of 1998 to provide a sfae space for queer pagan men to grow and prosper. We follow an eclectic Wiccan path emphasizing Queer Spirit, with strong influences from Greco-Roman mythos, Druidry and Celtic Shamanism, men's mysteries, Radical Faerie and Thelema. Our purposes are to:
- Explore and practice Pagan beliefs and traditions;
- Support and respect one another within the Grove in our healing, growth, and aspirations;
- Hold pagan rituals on the sabbats, and on other special occasions in order to celebrate the seasons, work magick, recognize rites of passage, and honor the Gods;
- Honor the Earth and Her creatures as sacred and work to protect and heal the environmnet within our community, throughout our nation, and across the world;
- Produce ritual, literature, music, and art to foster Pagan spirituality within the gay community at large;
- Teach Pagan beliefs and traditional skills to members, and to communicate with sisters and brothers within kindred spiritual paths; and
- Where appropriate, to educate the general public about the role of gay, bisexual and transgender men in Pagan Spirituality.
