Deity
Our Goddess Fortuna has been serving faithful Pagans for over 2000 years. She has many aspects which provide a prayer focus for a variety of religious issues. Due to cross-culturalization within the Roman Empire, Her worship is in cooperation with the worship of numerous deities.
Click on the Information + Dates page for more information. A liturgical library is available to our regular membership on the VIP blog.
Mission
Our mission is to provide a doorway to weekly New Age Pagan Goddess worship for beginners, for spiritual people who have been considering Paganism and are accustomed to a more traditional worship service, and for global Pagans who simply wish for an organized system of online worship.
Creed
Our Creed opens and closes each worship service. We call the quarters (four directional compass points) while honoring the turning of Fortuna's wheel in Latin and English language.

Ordained Clergy
Religious leader, Mama Fortuna, was ordained as a member of the clergy in 2003 by the Church of Spiritual Humanism, following the passing of her elderly dog. Mama Fortuna attended the Church of Spiritual Humanism seminary, has done extensive independent study in new-age Pagan Goddess worship, the Goddess Fortuna and Pagan practice and is listed as an officiant at handfastings.org. Mama Fortuna is also a life member of the Magicka School of Wicca in Italy.
The VIP blog library includes Sunday sermons written by Mama Fortuna; some of these articles have also been published at Pagan and Wiccan websites where she has accomplished global Pagan community outreach.
Prior to her Pagan ordainment, Mama Fortuna completed studies for a Baccalaureate level University degree and was professionally licensed in two separate professions in the state of California.
Her education included the study of traditional Pagan Roman Temple architecture, traditional Roman Catholic Church architecture, and classical Roman Catholic Church music at honors level, and this study prepared her to embark on the path to ordained clergy for Pagan worship.
After ordainment, from 2006 to 2007, Mama Fortuna performed as a priestess for a year at the Goddess Temple of Orange County, where she rose from Priestess of the Earth to Priestess of the Sun under the direction of Reverend Ava Parks, to prepare for her own Goddess Temple.
Dedication
The Goddess Fortuna was revealed in the birthdate of a puppy who came into our religious leader's home in 2003. Tragically, after a neighboring landowner in Los Angeles removed a property line wall without no notice, the dog mysteriously disappeared on November 6, 2007. We continue to pray for his safe return home. He is very much loved and missed. This website is dedicated with blessings.
