We are a living spirituality that is an ongoing process of connecting more deeply with the Web of Life. 

Ariadne’s Tribe is a fully inclusive polytheist, animist tradition of modern Pagans in relationship with the Minoan family of deities.

The people who lived on Crete four millennia ago and before enjoyed thousands of years of peace and prosperity, even as their neighbors were often enveloped in war and strife.

We work to bring the same blessings into our lives and the world around us through building relationships with the same deities they knew and loved. 

Find out more about who we are and what we do via the links in the menu up top.

Ariadne’s Tribe is an inclusive tradition. In order to make our position absolutely clear, we offer the following DEI statement:

Ariadne’s Tribe is dedicated to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and diverse community. Our spirituality is one of inclusion. We welcome everyone who is willing to treat others with respect and dignity. As is clearly stated in our Official Policies, Ariadne’s Tribe welcomes people of any race, ethnicity, caste, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, ability level, disability, geographic location, language, education, or socioeconomic status. We work hard to ensure that everyone feels both welcomed and safe within our online and in-person spaces. The Minoans were a cosmopolitan people, trading in many different places and connecting with many different cultures. We strive to emulate their love of the beautiful diversity of humankind.

Together we are joy!
