New Moon in Aries: Purpose Ritual
The Inaugural Human Rituals Gathering
When: Friday, 4/17/26 • 7:00–8:30 PM (Please arrive by 6:50 PM. Ritual begins promptly at 7:00 PM.)
Where: Howard Amon Park • Near the stage (see “How to find us” below)
Cost: Donation-based • Suggested $5–$20 (no one turned away)

A 90-minute outdoor ritual gathering exploring purpose, courage, and new beginnings through the lens of the Aries New Moon—grounded, mythic, and self-paced.

This is for you if...

• You want meaning outside traditional structures
• You want community without dogma
• You want a container for transformation that doesn’t require belief in any religion or practice

What to Expect (~90 minutes)

• Arrival + threshold opening (sound cleansing with singing bowls/tuning forks)
• Grounding meditation
• Self-paced inquiry: tarot, runes, or journaling (your choice)
• Guided journey into an Aries “initiation landscape.”
• New Moon intention: write and release (burn if permitted) or keep
• Closing + integration
• Optional: linger for questions/discussion afterward (or head out—no pressure)

The vibe: Psychologically grounded, spiritually open, emotionally real.
Expect silence, introspection, autonomy, and a self-directed pace. You’re welcome to participate fully or observe quietly.

What to bring
Required: Just yourself
Optional:

• Journal + pen
• Your own tarot/oracle deck (community deck provided)
• Layers (evening temps around 55–60°F)
• Water bottle
• Blanket or portable chair

Provided: Ritual structure, community tarot deck + runes, interpretation books, handouts (spreads, prompts, simple sigil guide). Intention candles for the first 5 arrivals.

How to Find Us
Meetup point: Howard Amon Park, near the stage.
Look for: A folding table with a black cloth, candles, singing bowls, and a red-bearded facilitator in a kilt with beaded jewelry. We’ll be easy to spot.

Weather + fire note
We gather weather-permitting. Any cancellation will be posted by 3:00 PM on the day of the event—check the event page.
If burning isn’t allowed due to wind, park rules, or burn restrictions, we’ll use a tear-and-release or sealed-envelope method instead.

Consent, boundaries, and safety

• Autonomy first: participate as much or as little as you want. You can leave anytime.
• No forced sharing: you won’t be asked to disclose personal details.
• Scent alert: incense may be used—please position yourself accordingly if sensitive.
• Photos: I may photograph the altar setup for social media. I will not photograph participants without consent.
• Support note: This can be deep emotional work. If you’re in active crisis, please have professional support in place. I’m a ritualist, not a therapist.
