• 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 Seasonal Food to Bring:
    - Chili’s
    - Cookies (gingerbread, but all kinds!)
    - Stews and Soups
    - Beef Jerky
    - Pumpkin Pie (pies in general)
    - Stuffing
    - Loaf of grain bread (no white)

  Considering bringing some small snacks too if you are staying all night. Others will be doing the same so we have plenty to eat throughout the long night.

• Goods Auction to support CedarLight Grove!

  We will be having a Goods Auction to support CedarLight Grove. Members will be donating many goods such as jewelry, statuary, cloaks, etc. to be auctioned off to raids funds for maintenance around CedarLight Grove.

• There are cans of sodas and bottled water available at the Grove for 50 cents each. Feel free to contribute beverages to the Grove!

• Dress Warmly
  The High Rite will be done outdoors, and it may be chilly. So be prepared and bring some warm clothes. If you have a chair you’d like to sit in during the High Rites, 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.

• 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.
