Welcome to Circle of Aradia

For decades Circle of Aradia has been a source of ritual, education and healing for women. Now a grove of Temple of Diana, Circle of Aradia began in Los Angeles, California, in 1988 as a successor to Moon Birch Grove, itself an outgrowth of Susan B. Anthony Coven #1, founded in 1971. Our Feminist Dianic Witchcraft tradition, now in its 55th year, is a teaching tradition which balances theory with the embodied experiences at our core, the five sacred female Blood Mysteries.

Temple of Diana

Temple of Diana is our federally-recognized 501(c)(3) Dianic Temple. Temple of Diana is made up of many solitary women from across the United States and worldwide. The Temple also includes four congregations which we call “groves.” These are local branches of Temple of Diana. They are: Guardians of the Grove in central Michigan, Circle of Aradia in southern California, Chalice Moon Grove also in southern California, and Templum Dianae in the UK. If you wish to be informed of upcoming classes, rituals, and special events, including those online, be sure you have subscribed to all the Temple groves’ contact lists. No one grove shares every opportunity to connect so please subscribe to all four groves’ contact lists so you don’t miss any announcements. You can join Circle of Aradia’s contact list by completing the form on the Home page.

At the Temple of Diana website you can read more about the Dianic tradition, our herstory, our groves, and how you can get involved.

In addition to online and in-person seasonal rituals and classes offered year-round by our groves, the Temple has two annual gatherings: These Daughters of Diana Gatherings are held annually in April on Zoom and in October in-person in the mountains of Southern California.

Also on the Temple’s website is the Moon Hut, our collective home for our groves’ online educational programs, classes, rituals and other events.
