Welcome
Applegrove is an eclectic witchcraft and wiccan-based working group and teaching circle in Sydney, Australia.
We formed out of our parent grove around 1996 and started our teaching circle, Circle Of The Hearth in 1998-99.
Applegrove ran public and semi-public pagan gatherings from 1996-2001 as well as organising the Australian Wiccan Conference 2006 with Pagan Awareness Network. Currently we are focusing more on the working group and teaching circle rather than presenting events, however some of us still do present workshops at pagan gatherings such as the AWC and several members are actively involved with helping at the PAN Full Moons.
This web site was set up to provide information on Wicca and
Witchcraft as well as to publish some of our rituals and workshop notes.
Please feel free to download our rituals and workshop notes
for your personal use. We do however ask that you not reproduce them
without permission and acknowledgement of the source.

Blessed be

Coming Up
Circle Of the Hearth Notes
For some lessons in our curriculum we have never actually written up formal notes - the circles being a mix of discussion and practical examples. We are now slowly writing up notes and exercises and will endeavour to fill up the Resources folders for each lesson as much as we can. Some material, however, really should only be taught with supervision and will not appear on the website. Watch out for notes on Magical Inks which will be uploaded over the next few months.
AWC 2007 Applegrove Articles
Several members of Applegrove also presented workshops at the
2007 AWC. We will be adding these to the articles page soon. A cut-down version of Blayze's workshop on Rituals Of Gesture And Silence was run at ARE Drama in Brisbane. The AWC 2007 version and the ARE 2009 version will be uploaded soon. Blayze has now videoed the gestures used and the footage will also be uploaded. The cut-down version of the workshop was also presented for the PAN Blue Moon on January 30th 2010, culminating in a silent Blue Moon ritual.
Rituals of the Elements
Over the years members of Applegrove have run various large
scale rituals of the elements at gatherings in Sydney and Canberra. We
are currently in the middle of revisiting and finding copies of these
rituals and will upload them as soon as they are ready. We are also
adapting them for small scale teaching situations.
New Pathworkings
Coming soon will be a new set of meditations written by Circle
of the Heath member, Foxglove as part of his recent Celtic studies.
They will focus on the four treasures of Ireland.
