A Pagan & Witchy Space that welcomes you as you are
As the wheel turns and we move toward Imbolc, we find ourselves at the midpoint between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox—a time of rekindling light, nurturing hope, and preparing for the seasons ahead. While winter still holds us in its embrace, Imbolc reminds us that beneath the surface, life is stirring.
Tonight, we gather for our in-person Imbolc Ritual, honoring Brigid, the goddess of poetry, smithcraft, and healing. This sacred time invites us to reflect, dream, and set intentions for the months ahead. As part of the ritual, participants will have the opportunity to bless their ceremonial tools, divination implements, or creative instruments, infusing them with renewed purpose for the path forward. If you’re joining us, be sure to arrive between 3:45-4:00 PM, as the ritual will begin promptly at 4:10 PM. We’ll conclude the evening with a potluck, so please bring a dish to share (with ingredients listed for those with dietary needs). In community news, we’re excited to announce that Eric Peisel is our new Wyoming Valley CUUPs Manager for 2025! We look forward to his leadership and the continued growth of our circle. We are also accepting applications for WVCUUPS Officers—if you feel called to serve and help shape our inclusive and magickal haven, we encourage you to apply. As we navigate the deep winter months, connection is more vital than ever. We are thrilled to share that our WVCUUPS Discord server is thriving! If you haven’t joined yet, this space offers wonderful opportunities for conversation, resource-sharing, and deepening our community bonds. You will need to agree to the rules to see and interact with the full server. This year, more than ever, we need the power of diversity, inclusion, and shared wisdom. Whether through ritual, leadership, or everyday moments of kindness, each of us plays a role in fostering a safe, vibrant space for Pagans, witches, and earth-centered spiritual paths. May the returning light bring warmth to your heart and clarity to your path. We look forward to celebrating, growing, and creating magick together in the months ahead!

As we step into 2025, we invite you to join us for our New Year’s ritual, where we’ll focus on releasing what no longer serves us. Rather than adding to an already long list of to-dos, this ritual encourages us to let go, creating space for rest, renewal, and the natural flow of the season. Together, we’ll honor the beauty of shedding old patterns and making room for what’s truly needed.
As the winter months settle in, remember that rest and release are just as important as action. Lean into the support of our community—whether that’s attending rituals, game nights, recovery dharma, connecting at meetings, or simply reaching out. Together, we can navigate the darkness with shared light, creating space for healing, renewal and support. Here’s to a new year of compassion, connection, and community magick. Thank you for being part of WVCUUPs and making this journey together. Yule, the Winter Solstice, falls on the shortest day and longest night of the year. Pagans welcome the rebirth of the Sun with dancing, music and festivities. Decorations include wreaths, boughs of holly, mistletoe, evergreens, and lots of lights.
Arrive between 3:45-4:00PM Ritual will start at 4:10PM We will gather for the Potluck after the ritual. Please either keep ingredient list or label all offerings with the included ingredients to allow those with dietary restrictions to make healthy choices for themselves. This year we are doing a witchy gift exchange! Whether it is a book, tarot deck, set of runes, oil blend, or another magickal tool that just needs a new home. We are aiming to keep gifts $25 or less. We will have an altar and yule tree for gifts to go under. As part of the ritual we are also doing a community vision board for our goals and manifestation! Please bring images of what you want manifest in the New year! We are also offering a fire releasing as part of the ritual. Think about what is holding you back? What no longer serves you in the coming year? Our rituals like to include drumming, so feel free to bring a percussion instrument if you have one as well. ADDRESS: 20 Church Road, Wyoming, PA 18644 |
