Yule ritual! Potluck! Gift Exhange!!

Join Wyoming Valley CUUPS for an Open Yule Ritual and Potluck this Saturday at 6PM at UUCWV! https://fb.me/e/1IBMyYvFk

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

((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
