We will be starting to hold Open rituals again in May 2022.

​

We are hoping to allow all of those who do not have a celebration to attend a place to come and join in the wheel of the year.

The Wheel of the year
Candlemas

The Courting and chasing festival. When the God chases the Virgin Goddess. This is seen in old folk songs like the Coal blacksmith. Look it up its a great Beltaine song. He catches her (or she lets herself be caught) and they make love to give fertility to the land.

At the summer solstice the sacred marriage takes place. The sun at its highest takes the earth as its bride.
