​The tradition is based on a Seax Wiccan influence of Anglo Saxon tradition. However, more so focuses on the individual development of one's self for each and establish connections with nature and humanity. The status of development of initiation is merely for one's own reflection and tracking of their own progress.  Self dedications and self initiations are encouraged with guidance to help each along their own way in the craft.  Coven membership and member positions or initiation status, etc. do not extend beyond the Sacred Meadow Circle.  Even the status of "High Priest(ess)" in the S.M.C. tradition only references to the gained experience required to support gatherings and facilitate or lead in ritual.  Each are not considered elevated in membership to the coven in anyway, and are no more higher than, nor more powerful than any other member.  Just as each and every member is no more higher than, nor more powerful than each other.  We all have the same potential in the craft complimented by our own unique developments, skill sets and abilities. Respecting each other for each other's differences lay the foundation within the coven's workings and rituals together.​

Humanist Wiccan:  Someone who identifies with the core principles of Wicca, but emphasizes a rational, naturalistic approach.  Traditional Wicca incorporates beliefs in deities or a higher power, while Humanist Wicca focus on the inherent value of nature and humanity.  The Wiccan gods and goddesses are viewed as metaphors for phycological concepts or natural forces.  This practice often centers on personal growth, ethical living, and a deep respect for the earth and nature.

Principles of the Wiccan Belief which influences the Sacred Meadow Circle:
 

1. We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal quarters and cross quarters.
    

2. We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility towards our environment. We seek to live in harmony with nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept.
    

3. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary it is sometimes called supernatural, but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.
    

4. We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifesting through polarity – as masculine and feminine – and that this same Creative Power lies in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive to the other. We value sex as a pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magickal practice and religious worship.
    

5. We recognize both outer worlds and inner, or psychological, worlds sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc. – and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.
    

6. We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.
    

7. We see religion, magick, and wisdom in living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it – a world view and philosophy of life that we identify as Witchcraft – the Wiccan way.
    

8. Calling oneself Witch does not make a Witch – but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees, and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within herself or himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to other and in harmony with nature.
    

9. We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness giving meaning to the Universe we know and our personal role within it.
    

10. Our only animosity toward Christianity, or toward any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extant that its institutions have claimed to be the only way and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.
     

11. As North American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the legitimacy of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.
     

12. We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as Satan or the Devil, as defined by the Christian tradition. We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another.
     

13. We believe that we should seek within nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.
