Full Moon Ritual (Dec25) by River Thames -Central London

Join us on the banks of river Thames for our Full moon ceremony.. part of our monthly circles. These rituals are suitable for all interested in Paganism, Wicca & Ritual Magic, and Earth-based spirituality. We meet by pavement steps under Millennium Bridge (south bank), walk down to riverbank, then set up altar and do our ritual.

• We operate a STRICTLY NO DRUGS policy at all times ** If any attendee is found to be breaching this rule, they will be removed immediately, with no refund .

RITUAL OUTLINE ----

• We start with a brief pathworking - a guided visualisation for stillness and energy opening. This is followed by consecration where each person is blessed with consecrated water & incense. Then a magic circle is cast with a wand, and visualisation of a protective bubble / sphere around us. Elements Air, fire, water, earth are called in east, south, west, north. We raise group energy with easy chants while circling around or infront of the altar.
• Then call on ** Goddess ** energies. A team member (or a selected attendee) plays the role of the Moon Goddess. 4-5 ladies may be asked to take on Goddess-support roles, circling the Goddess and using Goddess related chants to raise energy.
• We then have a moment for some magic/ spell working. This varies each time. Feasting & social: We finish the ceremony with communal blessing of all the food & drinks people brought, share some thoughts/ feed-back, then close circle and feast.
