About Us
A little history about Spirit of the Earth Church or SOTEC:
What we call Spirit of the Earth today began in 2004 with a few people who wanted to create a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment where Wiccans, Pagans, and other like-minded individuals could come together and worship. Since then we have grown and interest has grown. We saw the community’s need for more and the idea of creating a Wiccan Church was explored. Through many ebbs and flows, we came to the point where we decided that it was time to take the next step. We incorporated with the State of Kentucky as a Wiccan Church on St. Patrick’s Day, March 17th, 2008.
In early 2010 we aquired 5 acres of land (we are calling Cedar Grove) in Western Kentucky. We are now working to prepare Cedar Grove to become our Church headquarters. We invite you to join us as we continue our journey...
Our Vision:
Spirit of the Earth’s vision is to create an eclectic spiritual community that honors Nature in her many forms, provides education, fosters growth, and promotes interfaith education and dialogue within the greater community.
Our Purpose, Beliefs, and Commitments:
The Spirit of the Earth Church is a non profit Wiccan Church that believes in the Wiccan Rede “An’ it Harm None, Do as Thou Wilt” and promotes and provides structure to live by its teachings.
