ABOUT US

Phoenix Rising Open Circle (Formerly Phoenix Rising Fellowship) was Established in 2013.

Phoenix Rising Open Circle of Fort Campbell ensures a space and community for polytheistic, earth-centric, and neo-pagan soldiers along with their families. We exist to provide information to new pagans and opportunities for those well-established in their own paths to share their knowledge and to learn from others on different paths. We are open to and accepting of individuals from all paths, traditions, faiths, and backgrounds.

PROC is led by a Distinct Religious Group Leader, here after referred to as a DRGL. DRGLs are endorsed by Sacred Well Congregation, here after referred to as SWC. The U.S. Army, specifically the Installation Command of Fort Campbell, KY conducts a background check on those to become DRGLs, and once cleared, the Chaplains’ office approves the DRGL to conduct services. The DRGL works with SWC and the sponsoring chaplain to maintain a safe, clean space for the members of PROC to meet, as well as overseeing collections, procuring supplies, creating schedules, and aiding members in furthering their own religious paths.

PROC exists to aid soldiers of Ft. Campbell, and their families, in learning more about their individual religious paths and provides a place and opportunities to practice their faith. PROC holds classes, promotes fellowship, and conducts rituals.

COVENANT OF FIVE TENETS

We reverence the God and Goddess as the representations of the Divine Reality that is at once immanent and transcendent in and throughout all of the infinite creation. We celebrate the manifestations of the Divine Reality through Rites of Seasons and Rites of Passage.
We live in reverence and respect of the Natural world, recognizing the Sacred Cycles of ebb and flow, birth and death, creation and destruction. We acknowledge the sanctity and intrinsic worth of all life forms, and in dearth of cause, will never by word or deed willfully cause harm to befall any creature, manifest or unmanifest.
We affirm as inalienable the Right of every individual “either alone, or in community with others, in public or in private, to manifest his or her religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observation.” (Article 18, Universal Declaration of Human Rights). We recognize the responsibility of every individual for his or her own spiritual development and transformation, and that every individual is his or her own ultimate authority in all matters of spirit and religion.
To the extent of available spiritual and material resources, we will: teach those who seek; aid those in need; comfort those who for reasons of religion, conscience, ethnicity, or sex suffer oppression; and resist tyranny in all forms.
We live in peace and tolerance with all of humanity, neither converting to, nor seeking to convert those of other faiths and practices.
