We look forward to having you join us for our Spirit’s Edge Shamonial Temple’s Samhain / All Hallows' Eve Ritual & Salon on Sat., Oct. 26 *indoors* at Babler State Park in the Henry Babler indoor shelter / cabin!! (This is a paid event, and ticket pricing is further below.) Please read on for all the details, which should answer any questions you may have. We so look forward to celebrating the sabbat with you!Our 2024 Imbolc, Beltane, Lammas and Yule Rituals are Virtual. Our 2024 Ostara, Midsummer, Mabon and Samhain Rituals are in-person. (www.spiritsedge.org)
We offer a Public Sabbat Ritual Series with Salon Discussion to celebrate in community, join with Spirit and turn the Wheel of the Year! Each sabbat has a short teaching and discussion component called "A Seeker's Salon," followed by a formal ritual and fellowship after the ritual. We welcome those of all traditions and paths, those that are brand new to the path and experienced practitioners. The ritual is explained during the Salon discussion, so no worries if it’s your first time, and everyone is welcoming! We change pantheons that we partner with at each ritual, so each ritual is unique!

And no worries about how you're feeling (other than if you're physically sick of course, in which case please do stay home!), energies, etc., it's all good! Come, and let the spirit lift you up!! ... If you are sick and paid for an in-person ritual, please do stay home, and let us know in advance, and we will apply your ritual fee to the next in-person ritual.

Venue & Entrance:
Our in-person rituals for 2024 are at Babler State Park in its Henry Babler cabin shelter. It is 1.4 miles past the visitor center off of Guy Park Drive. IMPORTANT: Look for the sign that says "Guy Park Trailhead" on the right (the sign does not say the shelter name and you will not see the cabin from Guy Park Drive). Turn down that road on the right, pass the big parking lot on the right, and the road dead-ends at the cabin on the left. You may park by the small parking lot by the cabin / around the circle and then when it fills up, park in the big parking lot.
Check out our reel on the location! https://www.facebook.com/reel/1012807500675761
The website for the park to plan your visit in the park before and after the Ritual & Salon is https://mostateparks.com/park/dr-edmund-babler-memorial-state-park. The park also has camping, and our location is right where several trails start.
Food Situation & Pre/Post Ritual Activities in the Park:
Please be sure to eat prior to coming to Ritual. We encourage you to come early and/or stay late on your own to enjoy the park. You may wish to enjoy a picnic breakfast in the park prior to the ritual, or a picnic dinner after the event concludes. Definitely please enjoy the park and make a day of it!
Bring a snack for during our 20-minute break between the Salon discussion and the Ritual. You are welcome to bring a non-alcoholic drink to have at your seat during the Salon and Ritual.
In addition to picnicking as an option before/after the event, you may also wish on your own to walk, hike or meditate in the gorgeous park before or after ritual. It is exciting to be able to offer this great amenity to all those attending our public rituals!!
Our location is right at the entrance to several of the park's trails!
We recommend that you bring all the things you'll need from your car upon your arrival, particularly if you need to park in the big parking lot. That will save you time on the 20 minutes break between the Salon and Ritual.
COVID Protocols:
We will be following covid protocols including, but not limited to:
1) social distancing (optional)
2) masks are optional
3) using hand sanitizer (we will have some and also encourage you to bring your own little bottles).
4) If you're ill at all, please stay home as folks with illness will be turned away at the door (please let us know in advance if you're sick and we can apply your registration to the next in person ritual.
5) If there are any additional government requirements and/or CDC guidelines, we will follow those
6) Attendance is at your own risk as any covid protocols are not a guarantee.
Attire & Ritual Etiquette:
Black/dark colors are always great, or seasonal colors; capes and robes welcome; no alcohol or under the influence. You also may dress casually if that's more comfortable for you. We do have some ladies that wear skirts because they like to. We also have some ladies who wear shorts or jeans. Some folks wear robes or capes and some don’t. Some people like to dress up and dress a little witchier - like the time to sport your black and fun witchy ensembles or jewelry. But some like to come understated. And some just come as they are. Really, we want folks to be dressed how they like and how they're most comfortable.
In our online and in-person rituals, we have found that we raise a *ton* of energy through both formats! That is great for the Work and the experience, and we have also found that the temperature can increase in our online rituals, just like it can in the in-person ritual circle. You may wish to wear layers / have layers. For when we have guided meditations/ journeys, you may want to bring a cushion or yoga mat to sit on or a blanket to sit/lay on or otherwise cover up with and maybe even something to cover your eyes if that’s helpful. We’ll announce on the event page if the ritual working will include a guided meditation.
Rattles / Drums… Bring your own! Some rattles will be provided.
Standing or Sitting?... You always have the choice whether to sit or stand. Sometimes physically we may have something going on (i.e. surgery, injury, etc.), and sometimes there's a reason why it's not easy for us to stand, a host of reasons. There are many of our members who find it difficult to stand. Our rituals are *totally* a judgement free zone!! On this and any other topic! That means our members and the Gods/ Goddesses/ spirits understand that we're humans in human bodies. You'll still be just as much a part of the ritual and the Circle if you're seated as if you're standing for certain parts of the rituals. We all come to the ritual with different things. The important thing is to be there. To be a part of community. To share in all the good energy. And to bring that back to your daily life.
For other ritual etiquette information and questions, please email [email protected] or post your question on one of our event pages.
What to "Bring":
* A non-alcoholic drink to have at your chair.
* Snack for breaktime between the in-person Salon & the Ritual
* Dress in layers (even for online rituals!) as the rituals raise a lot of energy, and of course for in-person rituals, the venue temperatures also can vary.
* For in person and online rituals, please bring a rattle or drum. Watch the event pages for any other items to bring.
* If we announce a meditation on the event pages, please bring what you need to be comfortable during a meditation (i.e. blanket, cushion, yoga mat, eye cover, etc. - The floor is dirty so if you wish to meditate on the floor, you'll want to bring a yoga mat or something to put down so you don't get dirty.)
After Ritual Follow-Up:
Be sure to ground and be gentle with yourself after the energy from a ritual and drink plenty of water. If we have a guided meditation, we might offer it online for sale (for audio access) to benefit our Temple.
Transportation Tips:
Please be sure to arrange your own transportation both to and from the ritual *prior* to arriving at the ritual. Please check the bus schedules, which may not be running when our ritual is over. We are not able to provide transportation to/from the bus/metrolink routes, nor to/from the ritual, nor arrange transportation for you. You may wish to call Uber or Lyft if you do not have a car or a ride. You'll need to have your own cell phone to install the app to arrange the Uber or Lyft. We believe you can pre-order the pickup time/place with Uber/Lyft, so you can have it all pre-arranged before you come to the ritual. As for timing of drop off/pickup for Uber/Lyft. Prior to the ritual, you may arrange to ride share with a member by posting it on our event page and then private messaging with anyone who says they are interested in ride sharing with you to/from the ritual. It is not guaranteed that there will be a member that can ride share.
