Hedge School Philosophy


We aim to offer somewhere for Pagans to learn more about Paganism and their place in it.

Somewhere where individual skills are recognised, supported and built on.

A place where Pagans who think they want to offer help to other Pagans - as chaplains, priestesses and priests or in other consequential ways - can explore what might be a vocation.

Where those who are already functioning in those roles can find peer support and refreshment, a place to relax and review their work, and share their skills.

We aim to work in a balanced way with both darkness and light.

We don’t offer qualifications or certificates.

We do offer training and experience.

We don’t believe we have the power to save the world through meditation, what we eat, where we live, what we drive, whether we recycle or not or in any other way.

We do believe, very sincerely, that we are part of the natural world rather than having any power over it.

We believe that the only thing we can have power over is ourselves.
