Pagan Family Connection Samhain – 10/22/2017

Join the Pagan Family Connection Families as we Celebrate Samhain!

Sunday October 22, 1 – 3 PM: Family Samhain Celebration
At: Brigham Hill Community Farm, 37 Wheeler Road, North Grafton 01536
Fee: $5 per craft item. Adults are welcome to make crafts too.

The PFC honors the Sabbats with mythology, stories, games, snacks, a craft and a child friendly ritual. While we endeavor to come up with crafts for little hands and all abilities, all parents are expected to work along with their child during the craft.

Parents must stay with their kids. If your child has specific food allergies, please bring your own snack. All are welcome – not only those with kids!

In keeping with the theme of Norse mythology for 2017, we will celebrate a Winter Nights ritual. We shall annouce (and toast) our accomplishments for the year. Big or small – if you are proud of what you have done or are working on, we will raise a cup of herbal tea to you! The ritual ties in what we did at Imbolc (The Charming of the Plow) as well as our Lammas ritual (FreyrFest), all while honoring the Disir.

Our craft is brought to us by the suggestion of some of the children in the group. We will be making more God and Goddess figures (with their familiars). In spring we made Ostara and her hare wood figures. Our craft for Samhain will be to choose from several different Gods and Goddesses and their familiars. Photos of examples for inspiration will be coming soon!

Community Harvest Farm as we celebrate Beltain! 

Join us as we celebrate the frivolity of Spring and the coming of Summer.

The age old dance between Pan, Herne, Cernunnos, the Green Man. He is the God of the Forest.  Beltain is the day he will chase and capture the maiden.

She is the Queen of the May, Aphrodite, Venus, Cerridwen.  She is the Goddess of fields and flowers, she is Mother Earth herself.

As seeds spring forth
and grass grows green
and winds blow gently
and the rivers flow
and the sun shines down
upon our land,
we will offer thanks to the great earth mother
and her gifts of life each spring.

Doors open at 1pm.  There will be a craft for the kids (of any age).  Ritual begins at 2pm immediately followed by the maypole dance and potluck feast.

Be sure to tell your friends and all bring a dish to share.

Egyptian Underworld Initiation – 10/22/2016

SEF Samhain Pic

 

Saturday, October 22 – Marlborough/Hudson UU Church – Doors open at 6pm

The initiation of the deceased to the mysteries of the underworld and the purifications and investment of pharaoh and higher order priests shared a common ritual, rooted in Egypt’s mythic past.   Performed upon the living, these rites are an initiation in every sense of the word.  The physical body is hallowed and the spiritual bodies are vitalized and integrated.  Participants will experience a genuinely Egyptian ritual, reconstructed from the various books of the afterlife and temple texts.  No experience necessary, just an open mind.

Doors open at 6pm, doors will close and the pre-ritual discussion will begin at 7pm.

There will be a potluck supper following the Ritual so please bring a dish to share.  We’ll supply cups, plates, eating utensils, and beverages. (No alcohol please).

All adults are welcome, and no experience is necessary. For families with kids under 14, we suggest the Pagan Family Connection Samhain celebration on October 30 in Grafton.
