DETAILS

Join our Full moon ritual (monthly Wicca Circle) on the banks of river Thames, to set up altar, invoke the Triple moon Goddess and do magic at the heart of London. These rituals are suitable for beginners and all interested in Paganism, Wicca & Ritual Magic. Facilitated by Mani (Wiccan Highpriest) & Woodland Witches ritual team, these rituals also provide an opportunity to take on some roles and gain ritual experiences over time.
  • We operate a STRICTLY NO DRUGS policy at all times ** .

RITUAL what to expect —-

  • We start with a brief pathworking – a guided visualisation for stillness and energy opening (the `Tree pathworking’). This is followed by consecration where each person is blessed with consecrated water & incense. Then a magic circle is cast with a lantern & group words, and visualisation of a protective bubble / sphere around us. Elements Air, fire, water, earth are called with Quarter-Guardians’ help, in east, south, west, north. We raise group energy with easy chants while circling around the altar.
  • Then call on ** Goddess ** energies. A pre-arranged person takes on the role of the Moon Goddess. 4-5 ladies of attendees may be asked to take on Goddess-support roles, circling the Goddess and using Goddess related chants to raise energy. (Attending men circle the central Goddess assembly and add to chants and invocation led by a Priest / facilitator).
  • We then have a moment for some magic/ spell working. This varies each time- and may involve 2-3 Rune chants (for protection, wealth, strength, love, Joy). We may do other spell working as well as some healing work.
  • Feasting & social: We finish the ceremony with communal blessing of all the food & drinks people brought, share some thoughts/ feed-back, then close circle and feast.
  • We ask all to help Tidy up the space, take any unopened food/ drinks home, and put rubbish in bins (on thames pavements). This would help organisers greatly. thank you.
