About Us

Formed in October 2006, Stellaluna Circle practices Goddess spirituality as part of a close-knit women's circle.  With annual women's retreats and open sabbats, Stellaluna Circle enjoys the Southern Illinois community of women.

Stellaluna Circle is named after the popular children's book, Stellaluna, about a baby bat who falls into a robins' nest.  The baby bat, Stellaluna, is accepted into the robins' nest by the robins, but she never feels in sync with them. 

She wants to sleep during the day, she looks different, and she is different than the robins around her.  Eventually Stellaluna finds her way back to her mother as her mother constantly searched for her, much as many of us found our way to the Goddess as she constantly found ways of searching us out.  At home, Stellaluna is accepted and no longer feels different from everyone around her.

Many of us on the Goddess path have felt slightly out of step with the people around us or the religions in which we were raised.  Stellaluna Circle is a place where our differences are praised and accepted.  A place where those of us exploring our spirituality and learning what it is to be a Witch can be accepted for who we are and for our unique, singular talents.

While Stellaluna is a Goddess worshiping coven and an all women's coven, we do not adhere to strict dogma.  All traditions and teachings offer some wisdom, so creating our rituals and degrees from a variety of sources enables us to continue learning and growing.  

To that end, Stellaluna is a teaching coven, offering degrees and classes to those who are dedicated to the Goddess and following the path of the witch.  With the theory that those who participate learn more readily than those who watch, Stellaluna meets once a week for learning meetings or for ritual, with every full moon being a ritual date with active participation from its members.

We also enjoy hosting open events quarterly, celebrating the Wheel of the Year with each other and the community.  Celebrations with food, games, music, and more are the norm with our group!

Stellaluna Circle also has many talented members that practice and teach healing modalities such as Reiki, divination systems such as Tarot and Runes, along with many varied and eclectic practices from Hoodoo Rootwork to Group Process.

At this time we are opening our hearts and doors to new students, seekers, and members.  You can find out more about that on our Membership page.
