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!
