Celebration at the Sunwheel on Sunday
Oct. 21st, 2010 12:40 pmFor local folks who might be interested:
Weavers, the local council of the Covenant of the Goddess, is sponsoring a public Samhain celebration on 10/23/10, 6:30pm at the UMass SunWheel. The Sun Wheel is located on Rocky Hill Road, off of University Drive and right next to the Stadium.
10/23 is also a Full Moon. Imagine if you will, standing in the center of a circle of tall stones, the glow of torch light reflecting off their rough surfaces, the sound of song, the veil between the worlds parting and sacred energy moving around and through you while watching the full moon rising over the mountains It should be beautiful! Come honor and remember our beloved dead as their names are spoken. Celebrate the opposite side of death with acknowledgments of the births. Come participate in the annual turning of the wheel.
As the days grow shorter, the nights longer and the cold greater, we also take this time to help those in need in our community with the collection of can and other non-perishable goods for donation to the Food Bank. In this difficult economic time, the importance of the Food Bank is greater than ever before. Please help. Even just a can of soup or box of mac & cheese can make the difference in someone's life between having dinner or going without.

I'd like to go and meet folks (and see the Sunwheel by moonlight) but we have rehearsal on Sunday, and we need all the time we can get before Yule.
We're learning Alleluia A Newe Wyrke (something like that) -- we made it to the end of the piece this past Sunday, but it needs honing, and we still have to learn the words for the first couple of verses. There's work being done to make a larger, more legible copy of the music, which will undoubtedly help.
