"Because Everything Is A Circle....."

 "Imagine yourself walking at sunset with a group of laughing people. In the distance you see the warm glow of a fire. Familiar faces are smiling, and you can hear the beating of drums, like the heartbeat of the earth. Excitement courses through your veins as you draw near the Gathering Place. Your feet are already dancing as you walk into the circle of light and of friends who await you..."

~Phoenix Hearth Fellowship is a Magical Pagan Group nestled amidst the rich farmland area of north-central Illinois. The Fellowship is an extension of a practicing family magical group started in June of 1995.

~Our members walk varied paths. Some are Irish Pagan, some Wiccan. Some are into Native American Spirituality and Nordic belief, some are practicing Witches.

~We gather for workshops, (i.e. hand-thrown pottery, mead-making, runes, smudge sticks, papermaking), round-table discussions of Pagan Paths and topics, field trips, dinner & movie nights.

~Witches among us who are Members of the Order of the Phoenix gatherly for Witch Nights, where we do magic and work on magical technique.

~Our major Hearth celebrations are the Celtic Fire Festivals of Beltane and Samhain, which we observe outdoors around our Firecircle. Other Festivals are celebrated with ritual.

~People interested in becoming a Member of the PHF can contact Silver thru the email address below.
~Phoenix Hearth Fellowship offers Classes and Mentoring for those wanting to study Paganism, Wicca and Witchcraft.

"Listen to the beating of your heart
and you will hear the heartbeat of the Earth.
Listen to the heartbeat of the Earth,
and you will hear the song of the stars.
Listen to the song of the stars.
and you will hear the voice of the Gods.
Listen to the voice of the Gods
and you will hear the beating of your heart."
