November 5th, 2016 • Audience With The Ancestors • Herne’s Hollow, Georgetown, DE
As the year wanes, the Veils between the Worlds become thin. It is a time for introspection and self-evaluation. It is a time to reconnect with that which has gone before us, to our Ancestors. It is the time of Samhain, the Witches New Year, when the gates between the Dead and the Living are open wide, and the voices of the past speak to us. We prepare ourselves to face the end of the Harvests of the Fall and enter once more into the Winter of death and repose.
We will give over our land and open the Gate to the Realm of the Ancestors so that they may join us in the Circle. All will then have opportunity for a private audience with the Ancestors, speaking with and listening to them.
The ritual outline, background information, and chants are available here. If planning to attend, please take a moment to review the ritual and chants. Directions will be made available when RSVPing.
The schedule for the day is:
4:00 p.m. ~ Workshop at Herne’s Hollow: Who are The Ancestors
6:30 p.m. ~ Gather at Herne's Hollow to review outline and chants.
7:00 p.m. ~ Samhain Ritual
9:00 p.m. ~ Pot Luck Refreshments. Please bring something to share.
