Samhain: Witches New Year

What to expect...

Dear Wise Women 🖤, You are cordially invited to a magical Witches Samhain celebration. Step into a world of enchantment, where the veil between realms becomes as thin as gossamer, and the mysteries of the season unfurl before you. "The Goddess displays Her third aspect as the destroyer of life. As the Sacred Hag, She represents nature in winter- death, which is organically important for future life. On this day, She returns to Her sisters to give the wisdom of the ages, to protect, to avenge." "This is the time of Hecate... This is also the night of the revengeful Mother, Who is the fierce protector of her daughters when aroused." -Zsuzanna Budapest, The Holy Book of Women's Mysteries 📖 Samhain is a moment of deep reverence for the cycle of life, death, and rebirth that we are a part of on this planet. It is also a great night to practice Hexing, which is a form of spell casting. In this ritual we will be using a Hex as a call for justice. It's healthy and normal to be angry. It's healthy and normal to seek justice. Let's vent our anger, and use it magically to create change in the world. I will be providing guidance and teaching all women who come how to Hex on this powerful night! 🌙 ✨ Please bring the following items to enhance your experience ✨ 1. 2 candles with jars 2. Warm and weatherproof clothing (for outdoor comfort) 3. A cup (for toasts and shared libations) 4. Something to sit on (for your comfort during our gathering) 5. A Knife, for hexing 🔪 Optional Contributions: 1. Food to share at our communal feast, embodying the spirit of abundance and community. 2. Decorations for our altar, allowing you to infuse our sacred space with your unique energy and intentions. Amidst the crimson leaves and the gathering darkness, we celebrate the beauty and the poignant transience of life. Samhain beckons us to remember, to honor, and to revel in the profound mysteries of the season. This group is for women born female, celebrating the stages of Maidenhood, Motherhood, and Cronehood. Our purpose is to honour and educate on the spiritual and physical aspects of the female life cycle, including menarche, menstruation, pregnancy, lactation, miscarriage, abortion, and menopause. Ritual or circle lengths may vary depending on the flow of the talking stick and group sharing; please come prepared to stay until the end. You are very welcome here! With anticipation and warmth, Vanessa 🖤 PS: Let me know if you need a ride.
