Ritual: Feeding the Earth with Both Hands (Oct. 7th)
Ritual: Feeding the Earth with Both Hands on Wed. Oct. 7th
Join us in a sacred ceremony to “feed the Earth with both hands”, a ritual that honours the Earth and the Spirits of the Land that sustain and hold us. Everything we consume sources from Mother Earth, and eventually. returns to Her embrace. Together we will turn the mill of magick in the heart of the Harvest Season to acknowledge the vital, ever renewing cycle of life, death and rebirth, and pay tribute for the sustenance received.
Mother Earth has two hands. One hand that gives life; the nourishing bounty of fruits, vegetables, grains, well being and goodness. Air to breath and water to drink. The other hand receives us in death.
As part of the ritual, the process includes a cleansing and releasing, so that we can wipe away lingering negative energies and clear spiritual burdens.
Feeding the Earth with Two Hands balances both forces, Life and Death, burying that which is released while building reciprocity for the positive Harvests that sustain us.
Together we will honor the natural laws and cycles of Mother Earth with offerings, giving back to the soil that provides bounty and abundance.
Once our magickal work is completed, we will ground and center.
This is a Special Event Ritual and will be held at Winifred’s home and not at AwenTree.
That means Pre-Registration is Required to attend this particular Ritual so we can plan for the number of attendees. Winifred’s address will sent to attendees who have registered and paid for the October 7th Ritual. If you prefer to pay in cash, arrangements must be made with Winifred in advance. Email her at awentree@yahoo.com
This event is RAIN OR SHINE. There will be a pop-up shelter if it rains.
Once the Ritual ends, attendees are welcome to stay for sharing in a light snack and socializing.
The Monthly Rituals are facilitated by Winifred and Anthony. Participants are invited to actively participate in co-creating deep and sacred work inside a safe, ritual space held within a magickal circle of protection.
Winifred and Anthony both have many, many years of experience and training in mindfully guiding deep magick within community ceremonies. Our Rituals are intentionally kept small in the number of attendees, so we can facilitate a more focused and deeply supportive magickal experience.
Our Monthly RITUALS empower magickal restoration, strengthen resiliency and nurture community/collective care.
October features TWO RITUALS.
This is the first Ritual on Wed. October 7th, 6:30 -9 pm
TICKETS ARE SLIDING SCALE $15-25 You choose the amount you can manage. This helps cover the cost of the resources it takes to prepare, create and hold sacred space.

Each month features a uniquely crafted ritual, centered on a different magickal intention and focus. While not anchored in any one specific Craft Tradition, there still will be a grounding, protective, structure of a Witch’s Circle to safeguard our mutual energies. All expressions of being human and all levels of experience are welcome.
