Welcome to Cottonwood Star. We are a coven located in Laval, Quebec, on the unceded Indigenous territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka nation, near the Kanà:tso River (Kanien’kéha for the Ottawa River), where it feeds into the Kahrhionhwa’kó:wa (St Lawrence River).
Our practice is land-based. In fact, the coven draws its name from the land it borders, which is full of cottonwood trees and New England asters.
Cottonwood Star is inclusive and open to community members from all walks of life. LGBTQI+, BIPOC, and neuro-divergent members are welcome.
Our practice has roots in the Whitecroft Gardnerian and Isis Uranian traditions. We are also a living tradition, adapting and developing our practice in response to the modern world and the land we inhabit. We encourage critical thinking about inclusion, cultural appropriation, and decolonization within our inherited traditions and the larger neo-pagan movement. Our practices reflect this, and when they don’t, we strive to make them so.
All classes and rituals are in English.
