  • Info Booth Spotlight: Aquarian Tabernacle Church

    Vancouver Island Pagan Pride welcomes our host and sponsor, Aquarian Tabernacle Church of Canada!

    The Aquarian Tabernacle Church was begun by a few Wiccans who wanted simply to establish a place where anyone on the path could go to celebrate the seasonal turning of the Wheel of the Year with others. It was the right idea at the right time, with the right people guiding it. The rest is history. Today, the ATC has grown into a worldwide extended family of accepting people.

    Through our public ritual group, Circle of the Sacred Muse, ATCC, we provide monthly Full Moon rituals, Sabbat Celebrations to honour the eight festivals of the Wheel of the Year, and informal monthly Coffee Cauldrons. All of our events are available both in person and online.

    Visit Aquarian Tabernacle Church of Canada online and in person at Vancouver Island Pagan Pride Day at Charles Hoey Park in Duncan on August 12th!
