CedarLight Grove, ADF will be holding a memorial for Isaac Bonewits during our Mabon High Rite on September 25th at 5:30pm.
Folks are encouraged to bring mementos about Isaac to be placed on the Ancestor’s altar, as well as any stories they wish to share.
More details will be posted on this rite as they are made available.
Yesterday around 8am EDT, the founder of ADF Isaac Bonewits passed peacefully in his sleep. ADF has placed a memorial to Isaac on their website.
CedarLight Grove, ADF is very saddened by this news, as Isaac was very involved in our region for many years, specifically the Free Spirit Gathering and blessing the first stone at Four Quarters.
We will be holding a memorial ritual for Isaac for those in the area that wish to honor all of the great work he did for the neo-pagan community, especially here in the mid-atlantic.
We will post an announcement here on a date and location (as it will likely not be done at CedarLight Center due to size). If you would like to receive an email announcement when this has been decided, please sign up for our forum and it will automatically add you to our e-announcement list.
Part 2 of our Hellenic Worldview Workshop is scheduled for August 15th at 1pm. You can view details on this workshop on our website. Please RSVP by August 10th.
This workshop will give a brief synopsis of the Celtic alphabet called the Ogham and the multiple examples of alliteration used by the Celts to remember the alphabet. It will also provide a more extensive overview of one of these alliterations, the Tree Ogham. The workshop will work it’s way through the individual trees and include the way they look, their medicinal properties and what they were traditionally used for. We will also compare and contrast the traditional divinatory meaning to the actual properties.
This workshop will be a precursor to a series of workshops at CedarLight Grove on the latest theories and divinatory techniques in the book Ogam: Weaving Word Wisdom by Erynn Rowan Laurie. The class participants will be given the opportunity sign up for the extended class at the end of this workshop. We hope to meet at least once a month to discuss our progress and work on learning this divination technique.

Part two of our Reiki series taught by Reverend Caryn MacLuan.
In this class we will explore the next step in energy work called Reiki. I would ask my prospective students to first ponder whether or not they are ready for the Reiki II attunement. Reiki II is an increase in power, it clears more than the Reiki I attunement did especially in the area of emotional healing and some of us keep an awful lot stashed away in that closet. The Reiki II class requires that the student has already received the Reiki I attunement and has a certificate to prove it. The major areas we will cover in this class are the Reiki symbols, their meanings and their uses. We will also work on some of the Japanese Reiki techniques. The Reiki II attunement will be given and each student will receive a Reiki II certificate.
Note: If you have not read the Reiki II section of your workbook, please do so before class and save us more time for hands on practice.
Date: July 18th at 1pm (All are welcome to join us for a pot-luck brunch and meditation earlier at 10am)
Time: Approximately 4 hours
Cost: $70
Book: We will use the book Reiki: The Healing Touch First & Second Degree Manual by William Lee Rand
RSVP: Please RSVP by emailing us at witan@cedarlightgrove.org by July 12th
