Full Moon Ritual Circle (Outdoors, Richmond)

Join our NEW Witchy Full moon ritual gatherings, Outdoors in Richmond. Held as magical & pagan worship events, This location makes it easier to see the actual moon and hold our Ceremony in full moon light (subject to clouds ofcourse). These quiet outdoor woods-based rituals allow all to sink deeper into magical states, explore ritual elements and attuning to Horned God & Moon Goddess energies. There will be some gentle candle-lit picnic feasting & voluntary divination readings.

• Note: There may be Empowered Howling at the moon at the end of ritual.. to release your inner Wolf. :-) These circles are informally known as `The Clan of the Lunar Wolves' )

These rituals are suitable for beginners and all interested in Wicca, Paganism & Ritual Magic. .

• We operate a STRICTLY NO DRUGS policy at all times .

1----- RITUAL : (details may vary)-- Our rituals are based on Wicca and adapted over many years of running open rituals in London.

• In general, We start with a brief attunement - a guided visualisation for stillness and energy opening to connect to Gaia / Mother Earth .
• Consecration where each person is blessed with consecrated water & incense. Then a magic circle is cast, while all attendees visualise a protective sphere around us.
• Guardians called - This varies. We may call the 4 Elements Air, Fire, Water, Earth; or the 4 Archangels; Or 5 Cosmic Guardians .
• Woodland God & Moon Goddess - Generally we call Moon Goddess & Woodland Horned God with chants & invocations.A selected lady may enact the role of the Goddess,, while facilitator (Mani) will take the role of the Woodland God. Both may read or recite `charges' (words spoken by Deity).
