ABOUT US

OUR HISTORY

  • The history of our Sanctuary rests on a foundation that stretches back to the pantheistic religious traditions of the Etruscans (pre-Roman) and Minoans (pre-Greek).

  • Within our sacred space, we celebrate the mysteries that make up the Olde Religion, from this unique cultural lineage.

    1996 - 2006

  • The Sanctuary of the Crescent Moon began with the Eleusinian Mysteries, at Mabon, 1996.
