Join us as we gather during the new moon once again, to cast our magics under dark, betwixt time and between two full moons. By cauldron, fire, and pillar stone, we call our kin to meet us at the boundary!

During the Hill of the Bards Moon, we turn our attention to creative pursuits. This is a time dedicated to art, writing, music, crafts, and all forms of creative expression, offering them as acts of devotion to the gods, ancestors, and spirits. This month, we seek inspiration from the kindred and express our gratitude for the ancestral wisdom that imparts the skills needed to master our crafts.

SPECIFICS:

- Located at Dittmar Park. We'll be on the west side of the park near the huge oak tree.

- Within ritual, we will be calling Celtic deities to aid us in our working.

- There will be a time for everyone to individually give to patron deities, passed loved ones, spirit guides, etc. (Need not be Celtic)

- There will be the occasional blessing of an expecting mother and child.

- Ritual ends anywhere from 7:30 - 8pm

- Kids of all ages are welcome. We only ask that you remove them from the circle if they are being disruptive. Some kids are super entertained by ritual and some are bored to tears; first-timers should definitely be aware of this. Occasional Q&A whispers between you and the child during ritual are not considered disruptive.

WHAT WE DO:

We're performing Indo-European folk magics in preparation for the month to come. We perform charms, poetry, divination, spells, chanting, and worship pacts with spirits and gods. You can come as you are and observe or bring a charm, poem, or offering to an otherworldly entity, be it god, spirit, or honored dead.

WHAT TO WEAR:

Most are in casual dress but ritual dress -- kilts, robes, cloaks, etc. are welcomed.
