About Us
Welcome to The Temple of Circe, a sacred sanctuary where the ancient echoes of Hellenistic Paganism merge with the vibrant pulse of modern witchcraft. We stand in reverence to the Titaness Circe—a mystic enchantress whose legendary powers of transformation and wisdom have long ignited the hearts of seekers. Rooted in myth and steeped in the storied past of ancient Greece, our organization honors the legacy of a woman whose name became synonymous with the art of metamorphosis, both in myth and in the realm of the spirit.
Our temple is more than a gathering place; it is a crucible for profound personal transformation. Here, we engage deeply with the craft of witchery, embracing paths of herbal magic, the daring poison path, and the enigmatic realm of shadow magic. With each ritual, spell, and sacred rite, we invite our members to journey inward—into the deepest parts of their souls—to awaken, transform, and emerge as the most authentic and empowered versions of themselves.
At The Temple of Circe, inclusivity and compassion are woven into the very fabric of our being. We are a gender and queer affirming sanctuary, welcoming all races, genders, and creeds. In our hallowed halls, discrimination finds no foothold; instead, we celebrate diversity and uphold social justice as a core principle of our beliefs.
Here, the timeless wisdom of our ancestors and the eternal cycles of nature guide us on a path of self-discovery and communal empowerment. We invite all who seek the transformative power of witchcraft and a deeper connection with the divine to join us on this wild, enchanted journey.

Animal Sanctuary Program
In reverence to the boundless love that Circe holds for all living beings, The Temple of Circe actively sponsors rescue animals from shelters and kill-pens. This compassionate initiative extends to creatures of many kinds—sheep, horses, donkeys, llamas, and more—ensuring that these vulnerable souls are granted sanctuary and care. This outreach is a tangible expression of the temple’s commitment to social justice, nurturing life, and embodying the profound compassion central to its beliefs.
