Queer Spirit Full Moon Imbolc Circle
Wheatsheaf Community Hall, off Wheatsheaf Lane, South Lambeth Road, London, GBRadical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London at the solar festival of Imbolc, the day before the Imbolc Full Moon in Leo.
Sun and Moon energies synchronising here make this a powerful turning point as we approach the end of the year of the wood snake (getting ready for the fire horse) and the end of Neptune and Saturn's time in Pisces, these two planets also lifting our consciousness into the fire territory after the challenging water journey that's been peaking these past months as the spirit prepares us for incoming new vibrational fields.
Imbolc is the halfway point between winter solstice and spring equinox, from this point the promise of magic is in the air, days are longer and the Aquarian spirit flows forth strongly. Imbolc is the festival of Brigit, the maiden goddess and is associated with divination, poetry and fire. A time to dress up and pray!
Leo Full Moon is where we get to uniqueness we each bring to the Aquarian collective consciousness. So also a good time to dress up and play!
Take a break from hibernation, come pray, play and warm yourself in queer love ritual - your host Shokti is also celebrating his birthday on this night! (I had a low key 60th so let's make some noise on my 61st!)
Drumming, dancing, social. Dress to express your Faerie spirit!
We gather from 7 to set up the space and cast circle around 8pm, then drum, dance and socialise through the evening

Queer Spirit Full Moon Imbolc Circle
Wheatsheaf Community Hall, off Wheatsheaf Lane, South Lambeth Road, London, GBRadical Faeries and Queer Spirits gather in south London just before the Virgo full moon, the last full moon of winter!
This month we celebrate London's gay history - and specifically the spirit of the Mollies: 300 years ago London's queer subculture was already developing (and maybe had been for much longer). In February 1726 London's molly houses were raided, mollies arrested, tried and 3 men were sent to the gallows.
Mother Clap's molly house in Holborn was one of several establishments raided after an undercover surveillance operation by members of the Society for the Reformation of Manners, which had been exposing the existence of mollies since the start of the century - describing a scene that was already well formed: groups of men met regularly at molly ‘clubs’ where they used ‘maiden’ nicknames for one another, danced together, camped it up, sometimes dressed in drag on special ‘festival nights’, and had a specialized molly slang.
"Most of the sodomites convicted from 1698 through 1709 were entrapped due to the zeal of one man, Rev William Bray, the leading organizer of the Society for the Reformation of Manners. Most of the raids on molly houses through the 1720s were lead by six members of the Society who infiltrated the molly houses. The founding leaders of the Societies, such as Rev Bray, were dead by 1730, and due to a financial scandal the Societies formally disbanded in 1738. Relatively little is known about the queer subculture after that date: not because queers went underground, but because specific groups of moral reformers no longer worked actively to reveal them."
