Hurricane, WV 25526

The space is reserved for free, but you are kindly asked to order something

SEPTEMBER DISCUSSION TOPIC:
Venerating Ancestors
Ancient peoples from all over the world paid respect to their beloved dead in a multitude of ways. Many modern pagans continue this tradition, and expand upon it. This month we will discuss the various reasons how and why we work with our ancestors, be they by blood, by power, or of the heart. Our discussion can include personal experiences, or can be generalized, according to your comfort level.
If providing research info, please include sources. And yes, Personal Gnosis is absolutely valid. We just like to know where the information is coming from.
We will close with a vote for October's discussion topic, so please bring your suggestions! We are open to any topic that is magick related (occult, supernatural, metaphysical, other worldly, etc)
POINT OF ORDER:
We will first gather at a community table to eat and chat casually. Then we will move into an open circle to discuss our monthly topic. Announcements of local area events or interests are welcome. Finally, we will vote on the next month's discussion topic/activity, if not already arranged.
WHAT WE DO:
This monthly in-person gathering of like minded folks meet for fellowship and friendly discussion and activities related to various topics of magic(k) and metaphysics.
Everyone with an open mind and kind heart are welcome.
Much thanks and blessings to all,
Phoenix
