What we’re about
The Southampton and Portsmouth Wiccans Meetup Group exists to provide a forum for Southampton and Portsmouth based Wiccans to meet, train in and practice the Wiccan tradition. This group will be focused on providing structured training in Wicca leading to the opportunity for members to practice with us. We will also be providing public events and trips in the Southampton and Portsmouth area and beyond.
We plan to hold meetings in the Southampton and Portsmouth area to allow people to connect with the group but we are a strongly connected network and also meet separately from the events on Meetup which act as an entry point to the Wiccan tradition. We have a large network of Wiccans on Watsapp that organise the events on our Meetup groups.
We also offer training via Zoom through our 13 Knots Wicca training course. This provides a two year introduction to the Wiccan tradition.
In addition we also offer the opportunity for you to join us in trips to our spiritual home, Dartmoor. One of our members own private woodland close to this which we use for rituals and overnight stays.
We are an easy going and friendly group of Wiccans with a long term commitment and deep dedication to the tradition. Our goal is to make connecting with the Wiccan tradition, being trained and ultimately gaining initiation into a Wiccan coven feasible for all those who seek it and are genuinely deducated to the path.
The events here are coordinated though a Watsapp group that sits behind this group and to which those interested in finding out more about Wicca or seeking to get answers to questions are connected to. In order to join the Watsapp network you should visit the address below,

- Knot 2: The Lance of Taurian (Wicca, the Grail and the Aquarian Age)Link visible for attendees
Knot 2: The Lance of Taurian
The New Age, the Age of Aquarius, is thought to be imminent. This event is a study of paintings , mainly in the National Gallery, dealing with the precession of the equinoxes. We start with the paintings of George and the Dragon to understand how they releate to the precession and then move on to paintings related to the different astrological ages. We will look at art related to the ages of Taurus, Aries, Pisces and also to the coming Aquarian Age.
The Grail legends also detail important astronomical events related to the precession of the exquinoxes. In this talk we look at how this relates to the 'lance of Taurian' which is found by Parzival when he leaves the Grail Castle for the first time. We also look at the tarot cards to see how they relate to the precession, in particular the Judgement card, which some see as related to the coming of the Aquarian Age.
The session will take around one and a half hours with additional time for questions.
