The Crystal Cauldron and their HP Sandra Davies wanted to set up the first recognized Wiccan Temple in the United Kingdom. Sandra even petitioned the government to get allowance for the temple where her shop is located in Reddish.
Unfortunately, the Home Office sent Sandra a rejection letter letting them know that their application for temple status had been denied. The reasoning for denial wasn’t based on having the temple in her shop but based on not recognizing Wicca as a religion. The Home Office believes that per the Places of Worship Act of 1855 that Wicca does not worship a supreme being and is therefore not a legitimate religion.
When I first heard about the denial, I thought that maybe it was due to the temple being in the same location as a business which turned out not to be the case.
