December’s Ritual; Wintering with Holly and Oak at Yuletide
We are walking through the waning half of the year, the Crone and Sage are wintering deep in the Underworld and many old world traditions celebrate the pending return of the light that comes at the Winter Solstice.
When we come together to turn a mill of yuletide magick, we will journey to the Hidden Realm of the Holly and Oak Sovereigns, two essential parts of a whole, in the ancient dance of the sacred Wheel of the Year. There we will connect with Holly and Oak, witness their age old battle of crowns, Staves and Tines and reflect on their sacred exchange. Then in the stillness at the heart of our magick, we will visit with Robin and Wren to learn their wisdom. Then we will each create a Winter Blessing Sphere filled with traditional herbs of the season that you will take home to adorn your home.
Winifred and Anthony both have many, many years of experience and training in safely facilitating and guiding deep magick within community ceremonies.
Once the Ritual ends, attendees are welcome to stay for sharing in a light snack and socializing.
Our Rituals are intentionally kept small, when it comes to the number of attendees, so we can facilitate a focused and deeply supportive magickal experience.
The December Ritual, Wintering, Wed. Dec. 6th 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.

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; co-created and guided by Winifred Costello and Anthony Gladu. 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.
