Merry meet friends!
Pagan discussions at the Eno River Unitarian Universalist Fellowship run every Wednesday evening from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. in rooms 4/5 of the CARE building on the ERUUF campus. For directions to ERUUF, see http://www.eruuf.org.
Join us each week as we live our paganism through discussions, rituals, and spiritual practice in a family friendly atmosphere. All ages are welcome. If you have small children who might be too young to enjoy participating in our activities, please contact us beforehand. Arrangements may be possible. Contact mailto:c_do...@hotmail.com for more information.
October 24: Samhain ritual from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. We'll start gathering at 6:30 p.m. We are holding the Samhain ritual a week early because so many people have multiple obligations to fulfill on October 31, and we don't want to miss the trick-or-treaters. No healing workshop this week.
Ritual details: This year, we will be incorporating some Day of the Dead elements with a Voodoo flair from the Bayou. We will build an altar to remember all of our beloved deceased, from those who died this year to those who have been long dead. We will eulogize the deceased, and eat and drink for them. I will provide a big pot of vegetarian jambalaya and maybe some crawfish cakes (not veggy safe) as well as plates, cups, and silverware, and some punch.
Everyone is encouraged, but not required, to bring some food to share. Also, please bring a picture of your beloved or some trinket that reminds you of them to put on the altar. Don,t worry, you'll get it back. If you wish, you may write a letter to them. You'll have an opportunity to read the letter aloud, eulogize free form, or just keep quiet.
Drums and other musical instruments are welcome.
October 31: No discussion or healing workshop.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Blessed be,
Chuck Doebler
