Our Lughnasadh High Rite for 2011 will be on August 13th at 7pm. Participants can start gathering no earlier than 12pm at CedarLight Center to help prepare and enjoy the center. Please arrive no later than 5:30pm. We will be holding Tailteann Games at noon! Please arrive early (approx 2pm) if you wish to participate!

• Lore of the Season
  Our Prayer for this rite is: “Awakening the collective unconscious to harm done to Earth without causing more harm.” We are honoring Lugh and Aine as the deities of the occasion, and Tailtiue as the Gatekeeper.
• This Rite is a DRY RITE
  Our celebrations are dry, meaning no alcohol permitted except the Waters of Life during ritual.
• Bring a Dish for the Potluck!
  Bring a dish to share with the Grove after ritual if you wish to participate in the feast. Participants who bring a dish to share are welcome to participate in the feast. Your dish should serve approximately 6-10 people. Please label whether your dish has meat or not for our vegetarians. It’s also a good idea to list the ingredients if available.

  Suggested potluck dishes include:

  • All types of breads and grain dishes
  • Cold dishes to compliment the hot weather
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables (Freshly harvest veggies are great!)

  GUESTS WILL BE ASKED TO WASH THEIR OWN DISHES WHEN THEY ARE DONE.

• There are cans of sodas and bottled water available at the Grove for 50 cents each. Feel free to contribute beverages to the Grove! We are attempting to eliminate plastic bottles, however, so please do not bring any.
• Dress Appropriately
  Check the weather forecast before the ritual. Bring sunscreen and bugspray. If you have a chair you’d like to sit in during the High Rite, we suggest bringing that too.
• Donations
  All CedarLight events have a suggested donation of $10 per person. This can be contributed to Dagda’s Cauldron either at the Grove, or online.

  All donations go towards CedarLight Center bills and upkeep.

• Join CedarLight in a Psychic Fair!

  Starting at noon CedarLight will be holding a Psychic fair to help raise funds for building maintenance. There will be games and a silent auction of donated goods as well! Join us for the festivities as it is sure to be a great time

• Children and Pets
  Children are welcome to all CedarLight events, but must be attended at all times If your children start running around during ritual or being noisy, you will be asked to escort them out of the sanctuary. We do not yet have children activities planned for this event. Pets however, are not allowed.
