Mabon or Fall Equinox on Tuesday September 22,
1998 7:00pm facilitated by Brydie
In "The Spiral Dance" Starhawk speaks of Mabon: This
is the time of
harvest, of thanksgiving and joy, of leave taking and
sorrow. Now day and
night are equal, in perfect balance, and we give thought
to the balance and
flow within our own lives. The Sun King has become the
Lord of Shadows,
sailing West: we follow Him into the dark. Life
declines; the season of
barreness is on us, yet we give thanks for that which
we have reaped and
gathered. We meet to turn the Wheel and weave the cord
of life that will
sustain us through the dark.
A Balanced Ritual
Samhain on Saturday October 31, 1998 7:00 pm
Facilitated by RiverSong and Jenna
Celebrate the Circle has been in exsistance since 1988. Most of the past Rituals live only in the memories of the participants and in brief descriptions in old Newsletters. When we began our webpage, we started putting descriptions of our Rituals on it. These are the Rituals since we have had a working webpage, so they only begin in 1998.
This is a ritual about balance, a ritual about understanding balance, about
where we find it in our lives, and where it is missing. And of course, if
it is missing, what might we want to do about that. We hope to do all of
these including finding a plan of action.
Yule: "A Witch's Yule Carol" Sunday, December 20, 1998, 7:00
Facilitated by Dick Merritt and Gryphon Rosemead.
At this time do we know the dark of the year.
The season of life is past, and all is cold.
Emptiness and bleakness are all about.
Let us now give honor to the Triple Goddess
That the season may be made better
Through the birth of the Divine Child,
The Golden Newborn Solstice Sun.
