The Aquarian Tabernacle Church honored Rev. Selena Fox with a Lifetime Achievement Award at Hekate’s Sickle Festival in Seattle, celebrating her decades of leadership, advocacy for Pagan religious freedom, and embodiment of empowerment through the spirit of Aradia.
Hekate’s Sickle Festival is one of the largest and longest-running Pagan gatherings in North America. Each year, the community comes together in Seattle for a full weekend of rituals, workshops, and magical celebration. The festival honors the Goddess Hekate and features ceremonies, immersive mystery plays, themed dances like the Vampire’s Ball, special guest teachers, and hands-on experiences for seekers of all levels. It’s a place to connect with like-minded souls, celebrate the turning of the year, and witness powerful moments—like major awards and community recognitions. Imagine standing in sacred space with Selena Fox—one of the most beloved voices in Pagan spirituality.
