FUNDAMENTALS OF WITCHCRAFT STUDY SERIES ~ WICCAN REDE
Saturday, December 14th - Gathering: 5 - Class: 5:30 - FREE - By Joe
Class is FREE... yet DONATIONS are appreciated!
Enjoy these beautiful videos on YouTube:
🎵 The Wiccan Rede Long (Full) Version Folk Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jMrjYfkgSQ
🎵 Wiccan Rede Song: Chant this Short Version of the Rede
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B__bSqaFyY8

Have you ever wondered exactly what the Wiccan Rede was trying to say? You are familiar with the last eight lines, however, what exactly is meant by perfect love and perfect trust?

Join us as we explore the rede, line by line delving into the mysteries of ancient laws, new perspectives from timeless advice. Together, we can explore the depths of this work, only barely realized by most wiccans and witches.

Classes meet every second and fourth Saturday, with an online discussion group available. The classes are not linear, meaning you may attend whichever classes you choose to. However it is encouraged to work through the series for those who are interested in learning more about paganism.

PARKING is directly across the street from the house. There is a small u-shaped street [Fern Circle}, parking is alongside both sides of the street staying at least 4 feet from driveways.
Please be conscious that others will need to use the street as well. So, park accordingly! ALSO, BE AWARE that there needs to be room left for EMERGENCY VEHICLES to pass through. Also, you may park on Davis Drive or the west side of Hampton {between Livingston & Robinson}.

The Dark of the Season is over. Celebrate with us as we light the Yule Fires to bring the Sun King, the Oak King, back to Rebirth! Everyone is encouraged to dress in your most festive Medieval and/or Ritual Garb!

CELEBRATING THE REBIRTH OF THE SUN!
As the sun returns back to the Earth,
We celebrate life and rebirth.
Cold winter nights and chilly days,
Smoke in the sky, carry ills away.
A time of magick, at the longest night,
For without the dark, there cannot be light.
Herbs of power, blended by me,
As I will, so it shall be.
All Hail Wassail! All Hail Wassail! All Hail Wassail!

We welcome you to help us usher in this wondrous time of year.
If you have been to our Circle before, you are welcome to bring a friend. We ask you to please RSVP soon, as space is limited.

The Wheel of the Year,
Turns ever ‘round.
Leaves on the trees,
Leaves on the ground.
The end of the year,
Has come at last.
The longest night,
Is almost past.
So gather your friends,
And family near.
For a magical Yule,
And a bright New Year.

ONLY steps away from Circle of the Sublime Elm. Attendees can go to the First Unitarian Church for Mystic Grove's 'Yule All Night Vigil'. The Yule fire and festivities will continue until dawn! Come and stay for awhile, or bring your chairs, blankets, sleeping bags, food, etc and stay all night.

As the Sublime Elms have done in the past with the Mystic Grove! This year the Sublime Elms are observing Yule / Winter Solstice on Saturday, December 21st.
Potluck! So, please bring something to share. Remember to dress weather appropriately as the large Yule fire may not warm your buns enough.

Yule Log Lighting (when the spirit calls, in the 8:30 – 9:00-ish time frame) is the official start of the overnight vigil.

Overnight activities include: continuous opportunity to sit around the fire pit singing, telling stories, reflecting, and taking turns snoozing. Food, drinks, and board games will be in the in the Assembly Room to refresh body and brain cells.

Midnight Labyrinth walk by candlelight will give us an opportunity for moving meditation.

8:45 PM Yule Log Lighting. “Official” start of the overnight vigil. Fire pit singing, telling stories, reflecting, snoozing, marshmallow toasting through the night.

10:00 PM Assembly Room. The “Board Game Room” opens with a round of Pictionary. Other games through the night as desired. Room 9 will also be available for movie viewing. Those with tents may now put them up on the far lawn.

12:00 AM. Midnight ritual to honor the labyrinth and Enrichment Center and celebrate the energy of transformation as we look forward to our campus renovation.

1 AM. Potluck. Heartier fare replaces the nibbles to refortify the fire keepers!

SUNRISE (7:04 am) We celebrate our success in calling back the sun with a brief ritual.

If you are staying overnight please bring: suitable layers of clothing for the weather, sleeping gear if you expect you might need to nap, food and drinks to share, songs, stories, poems, etc. to share around the fire, drums and music instruments.

All parts of this event are family-friendly; however, child care is not available, so parents/guardians will need to supervise their children at all times. We'll be roasting marshmallows, playing games, caroling, storytelling, eating, and socializing!

JANUARY FULL WOLF MOON
Saturday, January 11th - Gathering 7 - Ritual 7:30pm -By Samuel Abrams
There is never a fee to attend our circle!!!
Tonight is the night of the Wolf Moon. This first full moon of the New Year is a time of silence and sitting by the home fire. As the wild winter howls, appreciate the warmth of home and family.
Now is the time to go within and plan the changes you will make in the spring. Consider now what you will plant. Start a moon journal to record your lunar tides and write down your spring dreams.

Correspondences:
Colors: Black and white, silver
Gemstones: Hematite
Trees: Birch, Hazel
Gods: Inanna, Freyja
Herbs: Thistle, nuts and seeds, marjoram
Element: Air
Sometimes it is also referred to as the Cold Moon, Old Moon, or the Moon After Yule. Some called it the Full Snow Moon, but Wolf Moon seems most appropriate, in native cultures, because amid the cold and deep snows of midwinter, the wolf packs howled hungrily outside their small villages, huts, and teepees. Since the lunar month is only 29 days long on the average, the full Moon dates shift from year to year.
This is a good time to work on magic related to protection, both physical and spiritual. Use this time to develop your inner self, and advance spiritually, becoming closer to the higher aspects of your deities.
Full Moon is an opportune time of the month for purging rituals to take place. The light the full moon offers illuminates those things that are interfering with our spiritual advancements. Once we have become enlightened to ways that are blocking us, the easier to let go. The full moon ritual is for releasing or purging the things in our lives that no longer serve us such as addictions to food, drugs, or sex, relinquishing suffering involved in hurtful relationships, discharging physical and emotional pains, etc.
