About the Study Group

Circle of the Wolf and Stag is a Wiccan study group within the American Tradition of the Goddess (AmTrad.) We are located in Arlington. Both the wolf and stag symbolize Goddesses that have influenced Rada on her path. They also symbolize the cycles of life and the importance of togetherness. Wolves often symbolize protection, freedom, togetherness, and wildness. Stags often symbolize grace, instinct, regeneration, and spiritual enlightenment. These two magnificent creatures are both fierce and hold the mysteries of the Old Ways.

This study group has a focus on the importance of understanding the different cultures and mythologies that make up our practice through study and appreciation, the history of Paganism and Wicca, and building connection to intuition through divination and other works. We have a strong commitment to honoring ourselves and our path through growth, self exploration, development of personal practice, and study. We are committed to classes that enable and empower students (and later initiates) to grow and develop as both individuals and members of the group. Every person's path is different, but we walk together to build each other up.

As part of a Wiccan Tradition, we honor the balance of nature and the circle of life, the Goddess and God (in all aspects). We gather at the Full and New Moons to honor the Triple Goddess and Triple God in all aspects, as well as celebrate the turning of the Wheel of the Year.Â
