Children of Artemis and Witchfest – About Us

The Objectives of Witchfest and Children of Artemis

Join Witchfest VIP here

Children of Artemis and Witchfest are UK non-profit organisations for those involved in, or interested in Alternative Spirituality, especially those that are Nature-based. It is entirely run by volunteers. The organisation welcomes a wide range of alternative, pagan or heathen believers, and anyone with an open mind that would like to know more. We expect members to treat others with respect, even if they have different views, this is especially important at our events. CoA and Witchfest organise events throughout the year such as Artemis Gathering and Witchfest International. Its twice-yearly digital magazine is called Witchcraft&Wicca.
These are our aims:

  • Promote genuine Pagan and Nature-based spiritual paths including Wicca/Witchcraft/Paganism/Heathenry/Druidry/Shamanism/Reconstructionists.
  • Provide a welcoming & safe environment for anyone interested or seeking.
  • Present an accurate view of all Pagan paths to the media & general public.
  • We are an inclusive Pagan community, so all who treat others with respect are welcome regardless of race, sex, sexual orientation or chosen path

  • Promote an understanding of the beliefs of Pagan paths including Wicca / Witchcraft / Paganism / Heathenry / Druidry / Shamanism / Reconstructionists / Nature-based Paths, which while diverse may include:

  • Attempting to live by the Wiccan rede, not harming anyone or anything by our actions (or lack of them).
  • Taking personal responsibility for our actions.
  • To respect and live in harmony with nature.
  • View divinity as both male and female, in the form of the Goddess and God, extending this equality to our everyday lives.
  • Viewing magic as a completely natural and neutral force.
  • Always attempting to fulfil your word.
  • Never seeking to convert others, only providing information and assistance if people actively seek it.
  • All beliefs are a spiritual path chosen by some, other religions being equally valid for those that choose them. Hence always attempt to practice tolerance of others’ beliefs.
