Spring Equinox Ritual in Himmel Park 3/21/2020
As our rituals are typically outside David “Gannd” Foster has agreed to lead a Druid rite for TAWN at 10AM (PROMPTLY, as he has another engagement later) at Himmel Park. It will be in our usual place between Hippie Hill and the tennis courts. Reasonable precautions will be made in light of virus concerns. Please arrive before 10:00 to participate.
Sorry for the late notice, but Carol Garr will lead an Imbolc ritual for TAWN on Sunday, Feb 2nd at Kennedy Park Ramada 2. It’s just north of the library at Ajo Way & Mission Rd, and is on bus lines for those without cars. Gather at noon for a ritual starting at 12:30. See you there.
I have paid to reserve the ramada with Parks & Rec, so if anyone not part of our group is present when I arrive to set up I will ask them to leave.
We still have problems getting volunteers for our open rituals, though thankfully some of the ones in 2020 have been promised. No one stepped forward to lead Imbolc for TAWN, and the sabbat is rapidly approaching. Several covens are doing private rites on 2/1 and SAZCUUPS public one is the same date. As I strongly feel that TAWN should offer SOMETHING I have decided to do Imbolc for TAWN on Sunday, Feb 2nd at noon, at Kennedy Park (Mission/Ajo). I will update the location, likely just north of the library on the corner, within a couple of days.
We still need someone for Ostara/Spring Equinox, though I have had some tentative inquiries. Hearths Gate Coven will do Beltane again, complete with Maypole. Desert Henge Coven has agreed to lead Litha. Lammas/Lughnassadh still needs a volunteer. Patrick and I have agreed to lead the ritual at Fall Fest on Sept 19th.
We are still needing volunteers to lead public rituals in 2020. Thanks to Desert Henge coven for a meaningful and musical Yule celebration, but Imbolc/Bride is less than 2 months away. Please consider stepping forward to lead that, or a subsequent rite, in the new year. Any Pagan or Heathen tradition is welcome, coven or individual. You could also lead another type of ritual important to you: Full Moon or another holiday significant to your tradition. Time and place is your choice. Contact ritual coordinator Carol at home at 520-883-4444, my cell 520-883-4411 or at carol@garden-realty.com .
Come and kick off the Yuletide season and jump the bonfire with Desert Henge Coven as we celebrate the birth of the Sun God at our Winter Solstice public ritual. Our Celtic ancestors celebrated the rebirth of the Oak King, the Sun King, the Giver of Life with the passing of the dark half of the year and look towards the light as the sun climbs just a little higher and stays a little longer each day. Dress festive and warm! Please gather at Himmel Park, the grove of pine near the library at 6:30pm for our 7pm start time. We will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items for the food bank OR an unwrapped toy for the refugee center so the joy of the season can be shared with those in need. We thank you in advance for your presence. A small feast of fruits, treats and spiced cider will be provided. Blessed Be!
