Spring Equinox 2017

The wheel turns, and we enter the season of rebirth and renewal! Join us as we celebrate the Spring Equinox, the warming of the seasons, and the blossoming of the Earth.

The focus of our Ritual will be our own Mother Platte, the lifeblood of the high plains, carrying nourishing water from the roots of the mountains out to the fields of the heartland. We will stand on her shores to give her praise and thanks.

As with all our rituals, all kind folk are welcome to attend. There will be a time for the folk to make offerings to their own patrons, ancestors, favored kin, or any other such beings. Please bring offerings that are burnable/biodegradable!

Following the rite there will be a time for feasting and fellowship .We encourage those who gather to bring food to share that suits your dietary needs.

Once again we will be at our summer location in Overland Pond Park. Gather at 1 pm, ritual begins at 2 pm.

Eostre 2016

Thanks, everyone, who joined us in the park Sunday to welcome in the season beside our beloved Mother Platte. The weather was beautiful - a nice change from Imbolc's blizzard. We had a lovely ritual on the fisherman's platform, now repaired and improved after last summer's flood damage. Afterwards we had food and fellowship, and got in some good bird-watching as well! We expect to be meeting at the same location - Overland Pond Park - until Samhain, so come and join us on our high days. Our next one will be Beltane on May 1st.

Today...

Remember, we are celebrating Spring Equinox in Overland Pond Park today! Gather at 1 pm, ritual starts at 2 pm.

Spring Equinox

Join Chokecherry Grove to celebrate the Spring Equinox on the shores of the mighty Mother Platte!

We will be gathering to give praise and sacrifice to the three Kindreds and enjoy the company of our community. The chief deities of the occasion will be Idunn and Bragi, honoring the gifts of renewal that come with the season. Feel Free to bring any offerings you wish for any of the Gods, ancestors, and spirits. (Please limit your offerings to that which is burnable or biodegradable to reduce our impact on the natural environment which we hold ritual in!)

We would love folks to additionally bring a single piece of firewood from their home spaces to become part of our fire.

After the rite we will have potluck fellowship in the park! Please bring a dish to share that suits your own taste. We cannot have open glass in the park, so please bring beverages in cans, or expect to use a cup. Please also bring a an item to be donated to a local animal shelter.

Spring Equinox

Yesterday we celebrated the Spring Equinox - the balance point when day and night are equal - at Overland Pond Park. The park is looking good, and we were glad to be back there for the first time this year. We expect to be meeting there for the next six months, until winter forces us back indoors again. We are already planning to hold our Beltaine ritual there, which will be something special. More details in our next post!
