Woodland Witches Spring Eqx Ritual 2025 , Richmond Park, London

Spring Equinox - time of balance between Dark & Light! Time of Fresh starts!! Nature is frantically busy with fertility, nest builing & mating rites! And who are we to argue with nature's divine ecstacy?! So in our Spring ceremony, we sweep away hindrances, build an altar & sacred space, call on elements to awake us unto Spring and the coming of warm summers. We will call on the fertile Earth Goddess and the lustful nature God Pan with chants and invocations, and do some seed-planting magic for our own fertility (be it romance, or creative ventures)!

In the Spirit of Fresh starts, and kicking ourselves out of comfor zones, so we can grow.. we are holding this seasonal gathering in Richmond Park!!

Please RSVP if you plan to attend. So we can bring correct amount of ritual items for magical working. Thanks **

We are Changing...!:

We hope to make our magical events even more experiential. So we are changing the way we meet n greet, set up and do things.

Organisers, Ritual team and attendees *all* meet at the same time by entrance to woods, and walk into woods together. Once at ritual spot (that may vary each time), we will build the altar together and decorate it, set up food area, then start ritual;

Help Build altar & take a role in ritual:

Few of the attendees can help us build altar with logs, foliage, and lights and lanterns, statues brought from home.

We also like to involve more of the attendees in actual ritual roles.. (like we did last month). This means some of you can invoke / call energies of 4 elements.. air, fire, water, earth, and take on any other smaller ritual roles. Printed words will be provided and one of our team members will coach and help you practise before ritual starts..

Energy-charging items on altar:

You are also welcome to place any small personal items like crystals, rings, pendants on altar. Used candles, home-prepared charms/ amulets / spell works should not be put on group altar. Mani (organiser) will have a final say in what's appropriate.
