Please join Matt and Jamie for a ritual welcoming Hermes as our new patron of the year. You will find it helpful in this ritual to have your chalice, a way to make fire, a bowl of water for purification – we’ll be using the Greek tradition of Khernips so fragrant herbs and/or salt to enhance your cleansing water are welcomed if you have them, your journal or other writing material, and your divination tool of choice. We’ll open our virtual space at 3p Central for chat and coffee, then start the ritual at 4p.

Please join us to learn more about Hermes, our patron of the year for 2020-2021. We’ll talk mythology, history, art, and practice, and how we might work with Hermes over the coming year. We hold social hour between 3p and 4p Central, and the class will begin at 4.

Join Jamie and Matt on Sunday, August 2nd for an ADF-style celebration of Lughnassadh where we consider Lugh as the upholder of Oaths and the Law. As part of ritual, we’ll be making art – please choose one of the provided coloring pages or bring a craft you’re already working on. If you need a page brought to you, please let us know! You will find it helpful to your practice if a bowl for offerings, some offerings of your choice for the powers, a beverage of your choice for the blessing cup, a chalice, and a means of lighting it are all available in your space for ritual.

You can find us at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82162097917 – we will host an hour of social/prep time from 3 to 4, and the ritual will begin at 4pm.

By ranked choice vote, the community has chosen Hermes to be our next patron of the year!

In the first round, Hermes and Freyr tied with 36.8% of the vote. Spider Woman received 26.3%. Because no candidate took a majority of the vote, the third place candidate was eliminated, and those voters’ second choices were tallied. This gave Hermes 61.1% of the second-round vote to Freyr’s 38.9%.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the patron selection process for 2020! Thanks also to FairVote for the use of their RankIt site, where we collected and tallied the votes.

We started our ritual year with Horus by crafting feathers for ways to increase ma’at. This year has been in some ways a tribulation, both for us and for the rest of the world. We’ll review some of those commitments and the things we have learned from our year working with Horus before we send him back to his other duties and responsibilities.

As usual we will be holding this ritual in our Zoom video chat:

For this ritual you may want to bring: a chalice/candle, water and baking soda/natron to cleanse with, and a bit of ‘whole food’, wine, juice, or some food you made yourself to offer as we work. Remember that at the end of Egyptian ritual, food items offered revert to the participants. Social time begins at 3p Central, ritual at 4.

We’ve had three rituals, one each for Freyr, Hermes, and Spider Woman. Now it’s time to choose our patron for the next year. You can vote at the link below:
