A Pagan & Witchy Space that welcomes you as you are
This week at Wyoming Valley CUUPs with have opportunities for both online and in-person connection.
Join us Tuesday for our online Yule Ritual. 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. Yule is a celebration of the season, an opportunity to manifest new desires and to support each other in difficult times. This ritual will focus on the growing light. You will need a candle (it can be electric) and a room you can dim/turn off the lights FB Event Link: https://fb.me/e/5Ti56Wdv1 Zoom Link: https://zoom.us/j/99169120915 On Friday, we are having our weekly D&D Gaming night! All levels of players, from beginner to expert, are invited. If you have never played before, we'd love to teach you. DMs willing to run a one-shot or a campaign, we'd love to have you too. Our D&D nights are growing. For new players. We have blank character sheets and can help you build a character or some pre-made ones that you can just jump into a game with. For experienced players. Right now, our DMs are using 5th Edition. All players are currently 4th level, starting with 50 GP and also have 1 magickal item (uncommon preferred but if you have a really cool back story for a rare item, we'll allow it). Ability Scores are 4d6 drop the lowest and reroll 1's. For those interested in running a one-shot or a campaign as a DM, shoot us an email at wyomingvalleycuups@gmail.com Our game night is getting busier and we could definitely use more DMs for those willing. We currently have 3 DMs now with another ready to start one. If you choose to run a campaign, just know we keep it pretty loose and sandbox-y. We have lots of dice, books, blank character sheets, miniatures and other gaming tools for use. Feel free to bring snacks, beverages and any other D&D items you wish as we take a chance and roll the dice!

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. This year we are celebrating the theme of hope. Attendees aim to arrive between 6:00PM-6:15PM, (doors open at 5:45p for our early birds) Ritual will start at 6:15 PM --Sweet Surrender by Unknown-- We are opening to the sweet surrender Of the luminous lovelight of the Sun We are opening to the sweet surrender Of the luminous lovelight of the Sun We are opening, we are opening We are opening, we are opening --Candle Flame by Katherine Gray-- Candle flame and firelight Keep us warm on the longest night Light the fires burn them bright Help us welcome back the light Call the sun and call the moon Call the dance and call the tune Keep the fire burning bright Let our voices call the light --We are one by Unknown-- We are one, We are one We are one, We are one Under the infinite sun Chant Library: https://www.wyomingvalleycuups.com/chant-library.html ((Excuse my voice, its feeling a little froggy from the dry air)) 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 pagan 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. We also have a few extra gift bags if you don’t wrap them. Our rituals like to include drumming, so feel free to bring a percussion instrument if you have one as well If you can’t make our in-person ritual, we have an online one as well - https://fb.me/e/3ingedTrJ December is finally here and the Winter Solstice approaches! We're offering activities to help support connection as well as inward spiral work for this cooler, darker month. Our annual Yule ritual and used-magical-tool gift exchange is on the way! Our indoor lunar labyrinth walk this coming Full Moon will be apart of our annual New Years Purification Ritual. Join us as we stay connected and come together to honor the Earth, Gods, Ancestors, and Wheel of the Year. We are stronger together. Whether you've been coming for years, never visited us or haven't been back in a while, you are welcome.
If you have an internet connection, or even just a phone, you can stay connected to the community. We hope to see you soon!
