Where every member is family...

The Bellehaven Family Tradition

The Bellehaven Family Tradition started on Yule of 2014 when a Pagan community leader in North Georgia married a young Irish Gypsy woman. Together they melded their individual beliefs and experiences , as well as differing teaching methods, into a syncretic blend of cultural beliefs which created a natural flow, finding common ground in their spirituality. Initially they had no intention of doing anything with it beyond teaching their own children, but as Fate would have it, students and Pagan scholars of like-mind sought them out. What began as small impromptu classes, lectures, and crafting nights of learning to make poppets, magical inks, Rune, Theban, and Atlantean alphabets, pendulum and spirit boards and more, eventually took on a life of its own, following the Bellehaven Family across three different cities in Georgia before they finally decided to sit down and answer what became clear to them as a calling to teach and craft.  From this happy (and persistent) circumstance, the Bellehaven Family Tradition was born.
