Upcoming Events
Imbolc/Brigid's Day Community Ritual
Feb 4
Imbolc Ritual. Imbolc, also known as Oimelc, Brigid's Day, and Candlemas, is a time when we start to feel the returning energies of the young Sun God. This time of Midwinter is also when we honor Brigid, triple Goddess of poetry, healing and smith-craft. This is an excellent time for purification, dedication to one's tradition, and consecration of ritual tools. We ask the Pagan community and friends to join us as we celebrate the fire Goddess Brigid and attune to Her energies of inspiration, healing, and transformation. If you have ritual tools you would like to (re) consecrate, feel free to bring them. We will have a tool consecration altar set up with water from Circle Sanctuary's Brigid's Spring which can be used to cleanse your tools.
Please join MoonFire and Potomac Circle Ministries including Circle Sanctuary Ministers, Jeanet & David Ewing in this community ritual as we celebrate Imbolc and connect with Brigid. Ritual starts at 4:30pm so please feel free to arrive around 4pm. We'll meet in room 13/15 (Library on the 1st floor prior to entering the ritual space. Potluck will follow the ritual - please bring your own feast gear.
Feb 19
Ritual to Avert Gossip and Seek Our Inner Silence. In ancient Rome, sometime between February 18 through 20, the people celebrated the Day of Tacita. She was considered a silent goddess who helped curb gossip and harmful words spoken against people. We will draw on the inspiration of this old festival to seek our inner silence and refrain from spreading harmful words toward others. Join us Sunday, February 19, at 1:30 p.m. at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington. Potluck will follow.
