WHAT IS SEEKERS CIRCLE

Simply described, Seekers Circle is a a 501(c)(3) California non-
profit, tax-exempt Religious Corporation operated by the United
Wiccan Church to provide accurate and factual information on what
Wicca is to the general public.

Seekers Circle offers a variety of classes on weekends in four to
six week sessions on many different types of Wiccan as well as
various occult sciences.  These classes will be of interest to a
person wanting to learn more about Wicca or who is seeking a
coven; or if already belonging to a coven, wishing to acquire
more knowledge regarding other traditions. Seekers Circle is not
only an opportunity for new students to meet teachers and members
of other groups, but all can learn about different traditions and
the differences in groups within those traditions.  These classes
may lead to anything from just an understanding of what Wicca is,
to becoming a participant in the Religion of Wicca.

Since its inception in 1985, Seekers Circle  has had a class
membership of over 350 people, and has formed, or is in the pro-
cess of forming anther Seekers Circles in northern California and
2 in other states, and has been copied by at least two other
independent groups (the sincerest form of flattery).

In the winter of 1987, it became obvious that Seekers Circle had
grown much larger than originally anticipated.  In order to
service both the Seeker and the Craft, it was found necessary
that Seekers Circle undergo the process of change, as all things
must do to evolve.

							FEES AND SEEKERS CIRCLE

Before Seekers Circle's reorganization it had been their policy
to provide these classes without any charge whatsoever.  This
noble experiment sadly failed when all of the financial burdens
fell upon less than a dozen of the participants.  A Law of Wicca
states, "no one may charge for initiation or religious services."
All of the board members and teachers of Seekers Circle AGREE.
All religious services conducted by Seekers Circle will continue
to be free, open events.  However, as there is no "Law of Wicca"
that excuses the individual from responsibility, Seekers Circle
feels that the individual should carry their fair share of the
costs of education, Wiccan or otherwise.  A teacher should not
have to risk personal bankruptcy in order to educate future
generations of Wiccans.  Therefore, to insure this education, in
the future.  There will be a nominal class fee of $7.00, for
those financially able to afford it, and those who cannot may
contribute through a work-study program.  Seekers Circle is a
non-profit tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the
Internal Revenue Code, and your contributions are tax-deductible
to the extent permitted by law.  These fees are only to defray
rent copying and out-of-pocket costs and will not be paid to the
instructors, who continue to contribute freely of their time and
knowledge.

Seekers Circle will also conduct separate classes in the Occult
Sciences. These classes will be of interest to the Wiccan as well
as the general public and will cover the Tarot,  Astrology,
Magick, Comparative Religions, Crystal working and other related
subjects, all of which will not be bound within the scope of
strictly Wiccan education, but are also necessary to any well-
rounded education.  The costs of these classes will be between
$15.00 and $20.00, with a portion of the fee going to the
instructor and the remaining portion going to Seekers Circle in
order to defray operation costs.

If you feel that the class fees are abhorrent  to your personal
ethics, we can only offer the following reference guides to
various pagan and Wiccan groups as further steps on your path and
wish you:  "Merry meet and merry part and may you always walk in
the light of the Lady and grow to know the wisdom of the Lord."
