Come and celebrate the Autumn Equinox with Strangers' Gate Coven! All Pagan and Pagan-friendly folks aged 18 and older are welcome to join us for our magical rite in which we will connect with the seasonal change and restore our personal balance. Autumn leaves fall and then disintegrate to nurture new life and bounty, so we will use them and their natural process for our Work. Please find and bring a natural leaf, hopefully one that's starting to change color, so we can each empower them with what we wish to release at this turning of the Wheel of the Year.
A $15 donation is requested to cover the cost of materials, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Reserve your spot before September 17th for only $10 via PayPal or Venmo to [email protected], or email your name and pay $10 cash at the event.
Please bring a pot-luck food item or non-alcoholic beverage to share (label your homemade food in case anyone has allergies) and a blanket (or chair) to sit on for our communal feast after the ritual. In an effort to reduce our use of plastic disposables, please bring a cup, dish, and utensils with you, if possible.
We look forward to seeing you for our Autumn Equinox celebration! Blessed Be!
