Fall Equinox — Saturday, September 19
This year’s Fall Equinox will follow our previous few rituals in virtual presentation. We will honor Demeter, Goddess of agriculture and fertility, and acknowledge the grief following the descent of her daughter, Persephone.
Gabrielle Milburn will be our ritual leader for the evening. Please join us live at 7:30 pm for our online watch party on our facebook group. We look forward to your attendance with us!
Lughnasadh — Saturday, August 1
Please join us for our next online ritual for Lughnasadh! This ritual will be lead by John Beckett as we honor Lugh, Master of Skills.
Lughnasadh is an ancient festival named in honor of the Irish God Lugh and celebrated in memory of his foster mother Tailtiu. In this online ritual we will honor Lugh and Tailtiu, we will present the skills and virtues of Lugh, and if we choose, we will receive their blessings to help us meet the challenges we face in our lives and in our world.
Like our summer ritual, we will host a viewing party on Facebook, as well as have a video up on our Youtube. We look forward to sharing the day with you!
Summer Solstice
For those of you who were able to join us on our Facebook page for our very first remote ritual watch party, we are incredibly thankful you were able to celebrate the equinox with us; for those who were unable to join us, there is a perk to our remote style of public rituals in that we can provide you with a message of power and healing during these interesting times.
May you carry the wisdom and blessings of Hathor and Sekhmet with you as we all navigate a challenging summer.
Disablot Cancellation
Due to health concerns regarding COVID-19, we have decided to take precaution over the health of our friends and attendees and found it would be best to cancel our spring Disablot gathering scheduled for March 21st.
Presently, we hope to see you at the Spring Social Gathering at 1 pm on Saturday, April 18th and/or our Beltane ritual on Saturday, May 2nd at 7 pm, until further notice.
We wish everyone a healthy, safe, and happy spring equinox!
