Ancient Cauldron is a teaching Coven. The philosophy and teachings are Eclectic. The Coven is dedicated to the advancement of the acceptance of Witchcraft through the education of our neighbors and the open gatherings of the Pagan-Wiccan communities to share together during Sabbats.

Ancient Cauldron has sponsored many, PNO's (pagans night out), open circles, gatherings, festivals and other events with the goal of bringing those of like mind and spirits in unity and celebration. Please see our Open Circle Guidelines and Ethics before attending any event. We offer open, on-going study and sharing groups and "Pagans Night Out" events. Join us and meet others of like mind and spirit. Also available are Witchcraft 101 and 13 Moons Series: Individual classes and Coven training offered by invitation only. You must meet with one of us prior to acceptance OR attend a Class Introduction Session.

Ancient Cauldron has several members who are legally ordained ministers available for all "Rites of Passage". Let us help you make each passage a very special one, as they should be. We have some wonderful ideas for over one hundred different passages in life, from conception through the final passage.

Most Ancient Cauldron members are "Out of the Broom Closet". Ancient Cauldron members are also available for lectures or discussion groups on Paganism, Witchcraft/Wicca, Divination, Crystals, Spiritual Healing, Meditation, etc. We also provide a variety of altar displays to help in educating our beliefs. If you know of a group, organization or event that would be interested in having one or more of the above topics discussed, please contact us at:

Ancient Cauldron

Ancient Cauldron is located in Northern California. Events are usually held in Sacramento County or west El Dorado County.

Note: Currently our main coven is not hosting any open/public events, although you can find many of our members attending and/or helping with events throughout our community. We will be posting open events soon.

May the Light and Love of the Lord & Lady,
Our God & Goddess guide you!
