 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

 Dear beloved community,
Just a reminder, due to personal concerns, we have cancelled Dark Moon Ritual to Apollo. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding. Looking ahead, we’re excited to share two opportunities to gather in alignment with Dark Moons:
Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you at our other gatherings as we prep for a new year of connection and growth. Blessings, WVCUUPS Leadership  Due to unsafe weather conditions on roads to the building, we’re canceling tonight’s D&D game night. Safety always comes first, and we want everyone to stay warm and safe at home.
 Join us for a post-election vigil, a space of support and solidarity for those feeling disconnected, uncertain, or anxious about the road ahead. This gathering is open to all who seek comfort and connection in community. Sometimes, when it feels like the world is on fire, it helps to gather with those of like mind. In moments like these, we need each other more than ever. In the spirit of community and resilience, let us come together to lift each other up, honor our collective strength, and remember the power of connection.
What to Expect: We’ll gather by candlelight to ground ourselves, connect with one another, and share in a ritualized space for processing and healing. This vigil will include guided moments of reflection, opportunities for sharing, and a reminder that we are never alone. Together, we’ll create a compassionate space to share what’s weighing on our hearts, a time for deep listening and witnessing one another’s experiences. If you feel moved, you may come forward to share, and light a candle as a symbol of lifting up our concerns in the warmth of this caring community. Together, we carry the light of hope forward. Event Details: 🕯 Date and Time: Friday, November 8th, 2024, at 7PM 🌌 Location: 20 Church Road, Wyoming, PA 18644 💬 Who Should Attend: Open to all who seek a supportive space for processing, regardless of where you are on your journey. Plug into the strength of this community. Together we rise. |
