As the wheel turns and the days grow shorter, we gather to honour the sacred balance of light and shadow during this Mabon, the Autumnal Equinox. In this time of equilibrium, when the veil between realms begins to thin, the holy dead draw nearer, and the ancestors call us deeper into their embrace.
On this sacred day, we shall walk together in ritual, weaving a tapestry of intention, protection, and remembrance. With open hearts, we will hold space for one another as we journey into the realm of the dense woods—a place where spirits reside, where the ancient whispers of those who came before us still echo. There, we shall ask for guidance, wisdom, and keys to unlock the mysteries that stir within the earth and our souls.
We will invoke the presence of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld, who will guide us through the sacred thresholds. In her presence, we will leave offerings of gratitude, venerating her as the keeper of life’s cycles—death and rebirth intertwined. Together, we descend into the underworld, not in fear, but in reverence, knowing that the darkness holds the seed of transformation.
Let us honour our ancestors, the holy dead, and the spirits that walk beside us. We call them in not only to seek their wisdom but to offer them our love, our stories, and our deep gratitude. As we stand on the cusp of the waning year, we commit to carrying their lessons into the months ahead, walking the path of the wise.
Prepare yourself for a gathering of profound depth, where the ancient and the eternal will meet within the sacred circle.
This is our most intensive assembly yet!
