During these monthly sessions hosted by Laina Pilkenton, we come together to deepen our connection to the Earth and to Spirit. We also learn a lot about ourselves in the process. We primarily focus on Scandinavian and Germanic practices and teachings, but people of all paths and experience levels are welcome. This is a great way to begin or deepen your spiritual/magical practice in a safe setting while connecting with other like-minded souls. Come join us by the fireside from 6:00-8:00 pm on the last Thursday of the month.Your Insight is WelcomeThe Fireside Circle is intended to be a community that is accessible for those who resonate with exploring traditional teachings while living in a 21st-century world.

The bulk of the year was spent preparing for winter, and if the annual crops yielded poorly, both illness and starvation were very real concerns.In our January session, we'll discuss some of the prominent spirits of winter in Scandinavian, Germanic, and Celtic mythology.We'll also take some time to connect with them and see what it is they wish to share with us.This is a great session for those who are drawn to (or are already) working with Norse goddess of winter, Skaði, the Celtic Cailleach, the archetypal Crone, the Germanic Frau Holle, members of the Wild Hunt, and animals (spirits) that thrive in winter.RegistrationRegistration can be done through eventbrite.
