Shadow Walking & Ritual of Release is our focus in February
We stand between the frozen and the thawed, between the rest of hibernation and the action of kindling the fires of transformation. February’s Ritual falls at the time when the moon is waning towards darkness, when its light withdraws behind a veil of shadow.
Our magick will center around journeying to the Dark Mothers of the Underworld, who presides over the hidden cauldron of creation and transmutation, from which all life comes and ultimately returns. We will travel to this realm for the the opportunity to better understand our own journeys, find healing, and let go of the shadowy parts that you are ready to release.
Guided by Winifred and Anthony, together, we will co-create sacred space as we cast our magick circle to hold us while we work our magick for healing, renewal and liberation. There will be structure and spiritual tools to ground us as we travel to and from the Underworld in our Ritual of Release.
Once the Ritual ends, attendees are welcome to stay for sharing in a light snack and socializing.
Winifred and Anthony both have many, many years of experience and training in safely facilitating and 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.
The February Ritual, Wed. Feb. 7th from 7-8:30 pm
Cost $15 and helps cover the cost of the resources it takes to prepare, create and hold sacred space. Pre-Registration strongly encouraged so we can plan accordingly, HOWEVER you can register and pay at the door at the time of the Ritual. Please arrive by 7:15 pm. You can sign up ahead of time by CLICKING HERE or pay at the door.
These sacred ceremonies are for like-minded mystical folk who desire to come together (in-person) in facilitated, safe space to explore and embody their magick. Co-facilitated by Winifred Costello, founder of AwenTree, and Anthony Gladu.
Each month will center on a different mystical element within ritual space. 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.
