ANNUAL YULE WINTER SOLSTICE BURNING BOWL CELEBRATION!!! Saturday December 19th.
Magickal Community~ Food ~ Wine ~ Fire Ceremony Meditation & Drumming & Dancing in Swami's Parlor!
Come and learn how to transcend to a higher level, both mentally and spiritually, like the Ancients did.

We shall feast, drum, drink and dance our way into the dark night!
We will be doing a Shamanic burning bowl ceremony for personal intentions to bring real change into our lives! Joining with other Magickal beings adds power, friendship, and meaning to our Spiritual community, giving us the Tribe that all are searching for. The Solstice is a powerful time to tap into the wisdom of the Earth, the darkness of Winter and the shortest night of the year, where we can increase our profound connection with Source, and the entire Cosmos.

Ley Lines: Our location is very near, or right on top of a Ley Line in the earth that connects us to all of the magickal sacred sites around the world, so it is the perfect place to manifest and do magick!! Our space is a portal, and we have had much paranormal activity here, which makes for interesting meetings, and for effective manifestation to take place!

Winter Solstice:
Winter Solstice has been celebrated in cultures the world over for thousands of years. This start of the solar year is a celebration of Light and the rebirth of the Sun. In old Europe, it was known as Yule, from the Norse, Jul, meaning wheel.

Today, many people in Western-based cultures refer to this holiday as "Christmas." Yet a look into its origins of Christmas reveals its Pagan roots. Emperor Aurelian established December 25 as the birthday of the "Invincible Sun" in the third century as part of the Roman Winter Solstice celebrations. Shortly thereafter, in 273, the Christian church selected this day to represent the birthday of Jesus, and by 336, this Roman solar feast day was Christianized. January 6, celebrated as Epiphany in Christendom and linked with the visit of the Magi, was originally an Egyptian date for the Winter Solstice.

ABOUT US...

We meet on, or near, Pagan Holiday Celebrations to hang out with other like minded individuals from similar walks of life! We normally gather for Pot Lucks to hang out socially, and sometimes we do super casual Shamanic burning bag rituals for renewal and manifestation - there is Strength in numbers when it comes to prayer magick and manifestation! The holidays and moon cycles also add power to our intentions! Kick back, put your feet up and eat, drink and be merry with like-minded others while creating the life that you deserve!

MORE ABOUT Yule:

Celebrate Yule with a series of rituals, feasts, and other activities. In most ancient cultures, the celebration lasted more than a day. The ancient Roman Saturnalia festival sometimes went on for a week.

Richard Heinberg, author of Celebrate the Solstice: Honoring the Earth’s Seasonal Rhythms through Festival and Ceremony (Quest Books, 1993) describes the solstices as “times of danger and opportunity; times for special alertness and aliveness.” In Iran, families often kept fires burning all night to assist the battle between the light and dark forces. In ancient Rome, where it was called Dies Natalis Invicti Solis, or the Birthday of the Unconquered Sun, masters even celebrated as equals with their slaves. Throughout history, celebrating the solstice has been a way to renew our connection with each other and with the numinous through acts of goodwill, special rituals, and heightened awareness.
