Pink Rose Wicca is a Wiccan tradition, founded in Seattle Washington
by The Pink Priestess, also known as Nona Drake. In the Pink Rose tradition,
initiated members are taught basic Wiccan teachings as well as to live by the
meanings of the pink rose.
Rd.com defines the meaning of the Pink Rose as such, "Pink carries with
it the connotation of grace and elegance, as well as sweetness and poetic
romance. Dark pink roses are symbolic of gratitude and appreciation, and are a
traditional way to say thanks. Light pink roses are associated with gentleness
and admiration, and can also be used as an expression of sympathy". All of
these messages are deeply engrained in the roots of the Pink Rose
Wiccan tradition, and used as a basis in the teachings of our magic
practices.
Some of our basic principles of our
tradition include:
·
A firm belief that proper gratitude should be
shown both in the mundane and magickal world for the blessings that are
bestowed upon us.
·
Understanding that all interactions should be
done with grace and poise.
·
Magick shall be worked with dedicated intention
as opposed to only slight inclination.
·
Sympathy will be given in proper circumstances,
and done so sincerely.
Pink Rose FAQs
Q: Is Pink Rose a
type of British Traditional Wicca (BTW)?
A: Pink Rose
Wicca incorporates basic teachings of BTW, but also holds its own values such
as our view on what spells are acceptable, VS which are not. So in a way, yes,
but technically no.
Q: How old do you
have to be to join this tradition?
A: Interested
persons may begin study at any time, but,

youth and religion.

only for women?

no. Men and male identified persons are more than welcome to practice Pink Rose
Wicca, but, Pink Rose covens are
female only.
Q: Why are Pink Rose
covens female only?
A: The short
version is, The Pink Rose tradition celebrates femininity and focusses on the
Goddesses more than the Gods. Although Pink Rose does work with the male aspects of the divine, and considers the
masculine and feminine equal, we choose to Identify and center our beliefs and
workings around Goddesses and our own female energies. As such, covens in the
tradition of Pink Rose Wicca practice in a female only setting to promote
feminine energy and a safe place for women to be women.
Q: Does Pink Rose

full member in good standing. From there the typical three degree system
applies.
