Interested in Working with Us?

Gaia, our mother Earth, is in serious trouble; and as a result, we humans are in even more serious trouble. We are in trouble karmically, because after all, it's our stupidity, short-sightedness, and greed that got us here; and we are in trouble physically, because major earth changes are coming - soon - and those changes will change our lives, permanently. Gaia is a living being, our ultimate mother, and not to do all we can to preserve and protect her is not only criminally ungrateful, but terminally stupid.

In the words of that fount of immortal wisdom, Bump R. Sticker,
"What do you mean, throw it away?!? There is no away!!"

But that's not all there is to it. Most people in this society live on the earth as if they were guests here, expecting "someone" to clean up after them. Those of us who follow the path of Gaia Wicca have a different way of looking at things: we see ourselves as stewards - caretakers - here. We understand that we are responsible not only for how we live on this planet, but also for helping others understand that is is in both the planet's and their own best interest to live here responsibly.

To that end, there are several questions you need to ask yourself to see how you fit with the objectives of Gaia Wicca. Before we go there, though, you need to be aware that at present, the only Gaia Wicca community is in Austin, Texas. So if you're in the Austin area and can answer "Yes" to nearly all of the questions below, you can use the link at the bottom of the page to contact us for more information.

Do you care for yourself?

Do you care for your physical health - for example:
    - Do you strive to consume only clean, pure, non-genetically modified food?
    - Do you eat locally grown, organic produce wherever possible?
    - Do you keep your consumption of meat, dairy, and other animal products
        to a minimum?
    - Do you consciously mininmize your reliance on the medical &
        pharmaceutical industries?
    - Are you a nonsmoker? (If you do smoke, quit; then come talk to us.)

Are you working on your mental and emotional health - for example:
    - Have you done, or are you doing, therapy to remove the toxic effects
        of this psychotic society from your life?
    - Are you taking active steps to recognize and rid yourself of your addictions?

Are you paying attention to your spiritual health - for example:
    - Do you understand what spirituality means to you and your life?
    - Are you working on building and strengthening your spiritual foundation?
    - Do you understand the importance of a spiritual community in your life?

Do you participate in the life of your community?

Are you willing to take 100% responsibility for yourself, your actions, and your commitments to those around you?

Are you active - and an activist - in the political life of your city, state, nation, and world?

Are you comfortable working closely with diverse kinds of people - diverse racially, nationally, sexually, etc.?

Are you looking for an intimately connected community of like-minded people with whom you can form mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical bonds?

Can you work in open, intimate, and radically honest connection with the people in such a community?

Do you care for your mother Earth?

Do you understand yourself to be a steward of the Earth, and not just a guest here?

Do you understand, and consciously practice, ecological responsibility in your daily life, by:
    - Reducing your overall consumption, from non-essentials like packaging
        to essentials such as water?
    - Reusing anything you possibly can?
    - Recycling everything your situation allows you to?
    - Restoring what you have taken from the earth wherever possible?

Do you take care to buy only environmentally-friendly products, from companies that do minimal damage to the Earth and our environment?

Do you honor the feminine face of the Divine as well as the masculine?

Are you in alignment with the understanding that the divine feminine (the Goddess) is just as important in our lives as the divine masculine (the God)?

Do you live your life out of the ground-level understanding that women are to be respected and honored, and that they are of no less sacred worth than men?

Do you honor the solar, lunar, and terrestrial cycles of the natural world?
