Wheel of the Year Ceremonies

by Faye Morgana

The Journey through the wheel this year has seen us host 7 wonderful ceremonies in the temple. We would like to thank all those who have supported these ceremonies and made them successful. We are back again to round off the year with our Winter Solstice ceremony which will continue our exploration of the elements, this time focusing on Air.

Air is a wonderful element to connect with. It’s dual nature to be able to cleanse us, and also to bring in inspiration and rejuvenate us. So if you are unable to attend the temple or our ceremony during this, possibly the busiest of seasons, we invite you to find some time for Air. I have to say my favourite thing is a walk on a windy day. Feeling the air on my face whilst the rest of me is wrapped up warm, the wind blowing my hair back, I can envisage it blowing through my soul, releasing the old and what no longer serves and leaving room for new, fresh air. Fresh ideas and inspirations are carried in on the breeze.

My favourite place to do this is on Brean Down, but if that’s not possible any hill will do! I’ve even been known just to stick my head out of a window at home, or wind down all the windows of my car for the drive home, whatever is going to work for you!

Whilst we enjoy being comfy and cosy in temple with cushions and blankets, at the end of the day, Paganism is all about connecting with the seasons of the land!

We are excited to announce that 'Ceremony Weavers of the Wheel' will now also be facilitating rituals at Stanton Drew stone circle for the Cross Quarter festivals of Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane and Lammas!

Our first was at Samhain and we would be delighted to have you join us for our next at Imbolc! The atmosphere at the Stones is wonderful and their power palpable. Dress for the elements and join us for a beautiful ritual!
