SunStave Circle Lammas Feast

Thursday, July 25, 2013

Sacrifice to Vesta - Sebastiano Ricci, early 17th c.

Daughter of Saturn, venerable dame,

Who dwell'st amidst great fire's eternal flame;

In sacred rites these ministers are thine,

Mystics much-blessed, holy and divine.

In thee, the Gods have fix'd their dwelling place,

Strong, stable basis of the mortal race.

Eternal, much-form'd ever-florid queen,

Laughing and blessed, and of lovely mien;

Accept these rites, accord each just desire,

And gentle health, and needful good inspire.

-Orphic Hymn to Vesta

Partake in the sacred feast at Lammas and give honor to the Goddess Vesta, she who protects hearth and Home. Please bring offerings to Vesta (food or flowers) to place on the altar, and a Main dish to share for the potluck feast.

SunStave Samhain

Monday, October 15, 2012

The wheel has turned and Samhain, known to non magical folks as Halloween is upon us. The Celtic new year is a time for renewing commitments, setting goals and honoring the dead.

This year’s Samhain is a special one since UUPS picked up the Sun Stave Staff and will be hosting Sun Stave for Samhain. Part of this year’s Samhain will consist of drinking to the new year, a druid rite, wiccan death ceremony of Cernunnos, and calling in the dead or ancestors to deliver messages from the other realm, help their living loved ones improve and move forward in their lives.

Please bring an item or photo of a loved one that has passed. There will be a separate ancestral table to set them on. This ritual will included heavy emotions, be prepared to see those beyond the grave. Feast will be after as usual. Dress warmly and if able, please bring a seasonally appropriate dish.
