The Spirit of Lammas, Friday, August 1
Lammas is all about the Feast! A festival honoring our food and where it came from. We pay respect to our farmers, relish in the gift of harvest, the bread and the brew. We pray for on-going fertile times and abundance, we revere the fruit and grains by making offerings to the Goddesses/Gods, for the ancients knew that in order to continue to receive the fruits of the Earth, we must be willing to give something back.
Sacred Fall Give-away, Autumn Equinox, Friday, September 19
As we enter the dark time of the year, we will be honoring the cycles of life completing the circle and continuing on the spiral. Let us come together in circle, bringing something that we hold sacred, its story and the willingness to let go and pass it on. In this way we share seeds of community to sprout in the coming months. Bring your drums.
Samhain, Friday, October 31
Samhain, the close of the year and the opening of the portal to the next, when the veil between the worlds is thin the dead may walk and the night is filled with magic and shadows. We will honor the spirits of our ancestors and the turning of the year. Please bring a picture or a token of a departed family member or friend whose life you wish to celebrate on this night that signals the start to the dark side of the year, the entry into dreaming time.
