Public Rituals, Celebrations & Gatherings
For The Wheel of the Year
2012

Welcome to this year's celebrations! All traditions are welcome who come in perfect love and perfect trust, peace. Children are always welcome, provided they are well versed in circle etiquette.

We honor the Witches’ Creed. As witches, we also believe in the presence of Spirit in all creatures. We honor the two leggeds, the four leggeds, the winged ones, the crawlers, the swimmers, the stone people and the tall ones (trees). We believe in the magic in all beings. We honor each other, and our individual rights and traditions. We believe in witches as healers; healers of ourselves and of our planet. We believe in the power of ritual, magic, meditation, prayer. We believe in the good in all people, and the reality of our humanness.

Ritual garb is welcome, though not required. There is never a charge for attending ritual. Ritual space is sacred space. It is expected that the ritual experience remains private among us.

Some rituals will include small crafting projects -- please note where supplies are listed. Candles, flowers and other adornments for the altar are always welcome.
You're welcome to bring items for dedicating and charging.

We like to share a healthy, grounding snack before people leave for home. Please feel welcome to bring one - it should be easy finger food type snacks.

Some celebrations include a potluck feast. Where noted, please sign up for a food group. We ask this so we can all enjoy a delicious, nourishing and well rounded meal together.

Ours is a circle -- there is no hierarchy here. All are equal. Come, enjoy, celebrate Spirit in your life!
