For those attending our Yule Rite, remember you do not have to stay all night, that part is optional. Ritual will begin at 5pm and we will have feasting and a goods auction afterwards.

There will also not be anything scheduled for December 25th (unless there is high demand) so that we can spend some time with our non-pagan families as well.

Our High Rite Schedule is as follows:
February 5th: Imbolc
March 19th: Ostara/Spring Equinox
May 7th: Beltane
June 18th: Midsummer/Summer Solstice
August 13th: Lughnasadh
September 24th: Mabon/Fall Equinox
November 5th: Samhain

Specific times will be posted later on, but they are usually around the same time in the evening hours as almost all of our rituals.

Also don’t forget about our members only bowling trip on the 29th of this month at 4pm. Bring a friend! This will cost approximately $10 per person. It’s $45 per lane for 2 hours with a free pizza and pitcher of soda. At 6 people per lane, this will work out fairly well. Please RSVP for this if you can.

It should hopefully be back up and working on Christmas Eve.

Our prayer for our Yule Rite shall be “Spreading the light of hope through shadows of winter”. We will be honoring Freyr and Freya, with Baldur as the Gatekeeper and Thor as the protector from the Outsiders.

This will also be an optional all-night vigil for those that wish to stay the night. We have a schedule of activity and rituals throughout the night on our Yule event page.

We are also raising funds for Big Cats with a bake sale, which further details for that can also be reached on our Yule event page. Feel free to bring a baked good or money to purchase some baked goods in support of this fantastic organization to save our Big Cats.

Since many of us will be staying up to celebrate the long night, there will be NO RITES OF CAFFIEENA OR ACTIVITIES ON SUNDAY DECEMBER 19th 2010.
