This is the final stretch of winter—a time when heavy rain and snow may arrive before the warmth of spring takes hold. This lingering winter energy clears the way for spring’s renewal, as the increased precipitation nourishes nature’s growth. We, too, can embrace these watery qualities to thaw the protective shell we’ve built around our inner selves during the harshness of winter. In shedding this guard, we open ourselves to the revitalizing energy of light and the promise of growth.

SPECIFICS:

- Located at Dittmar Park. We'll be on the west side of the park under the huge oak tree.

- Within ritual, we will be calling Celtic deities to aid us in our working.

- There will be a time for everyone to individually give to patron deities, passed loved ones, spirit guides, etc. (Need not be Celtic)

- Ritual ends anywhere from 7:30 - 8pm

- Kids of all ages are welcome. We only ask that you remove them from the circle if they are being disruptive. Some kids are super entertained by ritual and some are bored to tears; first-timers should definitely be aware of this. Occasional Q&A whispers between you and the child during ritual are not considered disruptive.

WHAT WE DO:

We're performing Indo-European folk magics in preparation for the month to come. We perform charms, poetry, divination, spells, chanting, and worship pacts with spirits and gods. You can come as you are and observe or bring a charm, poem, or offering to an otherworldly entity, be it god, spirit, or honored dead.

WHAT TO WEAR:

Most are in casual dress but ritual dress -- kilts, robes, cloaks, etc. are welcomed.
