Our Midsummer High Rite of 2008 will be on June 21st at 7pm. Participants can start gathering no earlier than 3pm at CedarLight Center to help prepare and enjoy the center. Please arrive no later than 6pm. Times are subject to change, please check before you leave.

• Lore of the Season
  Update: For our Midsummer High Rite we will be focusing on the Greek Pantheon, specifically honoring Helios and Selene with Eos as the gatekeeper. Our prayer is to learn to be creative and appreciate the present.
• 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 (cold healthy foods are recommended for this ritual, since it will be hot out). 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:

  • Dishes with various citrusy flavors
  • Cold dishes to compliment the hot weather
  • Fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Spicy main dishes

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

• There are cans of sodas and filtered water (in a jug, not bottles) 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, bugspray, and prepare for the heat. 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 through our website by clicking here:
  
  

  All donations go towards CedarLight Center bills and upkeep.

  CEDARLIGHT AUCTION
  We will be having an auction of donated goods after ritual during revels. Several items will be up for bid, so bring some cash or your checkbook! (The Grove will not be accepting IOU’s for auction items). Some of the items we will be having for auctions are: silver chalices, glass rune set, pentacle tapestries, silver pentacle altar piece, several books, possibly another homemade ritual cape, gourd rattle, and tons of cheap craft items for $1.

• Children and Pets
  Children are welcome to all CedarLight events, but must be attended at all times. We do not yet have children activities planned for this event. Pets however, are not allowed.
