Name: The Tide Dark Moon Ritual
Start: 2025-12-19T19:00:00-06:00
Location: Dittmar Park - 1009 W Dittmar Rd., Austin, TX 78748

Friday, December 19th
As the dark moon rises, we enter the quiet, mysterious season of stillness. In this time when the forces of growth are paused, we too pause—to reflect, reconnect, and delve deep within. The darkness calls us to honor the ancestors, the spirits of winter, and the chthonic deities that dwell beneath.
This is a time to attune ourselves to the dark tide, allowing its waters to cleanse us of fear, regret, and self-doubt. Through this release, we make space for healing and transformation, strengthening our spirit as we emerge from the depths renewed.
Join us as we embrace the shadow, celebrate the wisdom of the unseen, and align ourselves with the rhythms of the tide moon.

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.
