2026 Imbolc
WiCoM Imbolc Ritual Celebration
The cauldron of rebirth allows us to reflect, renew and regenerate. At Imbolc we bring out the cauldron and put our hopes and fears into the cauldron and bring forth something new. We need a reset of the attitude of this country. We need a kinder, gentler and more accepting vibe to spread across the land and effect change. Come and do a working to accomplish a new outlook for the US, with the help of Lady Liberty, that we may go forth together and work effectively.

2025 Yule
WiCoM Yule Ritual Celebration
Yule, the celebration of the Winter Solstice, marks the longest night of the year and the moment when the sun begins its gradual return. Across many traditions, it is a time that honors the resilience of life during the cold and darkness, the slow rebirth of the light, and the deep renewal that emerges from stillness. Yule reminds us that even in the darkest season there is a spark of hope growing quietly beneath the surface, promising new beginnings, warmth, and the eventual flourishing of brighter days.
Our ritual will draw upon the strength and symbolism of Norse mythology to deepen our celebration of Yule. We acknowledge the powerful presence of Odin and the Wild Hunt—forces that sweep through the darkest nights, clearing away fear, stagnation, and the remnants of the old year. Together we honor the returning sun as a symbol of renewed hope and rising courage. Each participant will charge a crystal or personal token with the light of the Sol candle and the protective, wisdom-bearing energy of Odin. This talisman will serve as a reminder throughout the coming year that even in challenging times, the light returns, courage endures, and we carry within us the strength to move toward brighter days.

2025 Samhain
WiCoM Samhain Ritual Celebration
Samhain, one of the most sacred Sabbats of the Wiccan year, marks the turning of the Wheel into the dark half of the year. It is a time when the veil between the worlds grows thin, allowing us to honor the mysteries of death and rebirth, and to draw close to the wisdom of those who came before us. Traditionally celebrated at the end of the harvest, Samhain invites reflection, remembrance, and renewal as we step into the quiet season of introspection and transformation.
This year, WiCoM will hold a special ritual dedicated to celebrating and honoring our ancestors and loved ones who have passed. Together, we will create sacred space to remember their lives, share their stories, and feel their continued presence in our hearts. Through ritual, prayer, and fellowship, we will weave a tapestry of connection across generations, finding strength and blessing in the lineage that unites us. Join us as we honor the past, embrace the present, and look toward the future with reverence and hope.

2025 Mabon
Mabon, celebrated around the Autumn Equinox, is the second of the harvest festivals in the Wheel of the Year. It marks the moment when day and night are equal, symbolizing balance, gratitude, and the turning of the seasons toward the dark half of the year. Spiritually, Mabon is a time to give thanks for the abundance of the harvest—both literal and metaphorical—and to reflect on what we have reaped from our efforts over the past months. It’s also a moment of release, letting go of what no longer serves us, much like the trees shedding their leaves in preparation for winter.
Come join WiCoM in our Mabon ritual as we give thanks for the many blessings, and bring balance into our lives.

Midsummer is when the sun is at its highest. Fruits are in and people are doing well. Come and celebrate Midsummer with the Wiccan Church of Minnesota with a Feast of the Strawberries. We will gather and eat strawberries and the accompaniments while hopefully singing Sumer is Icumen In. That’s supposedly the oldest song with music that exists. And a round. How fun! Gather at 6pm, ritual at 7pm. If you are allergic to strawberries, best to stay home because you will not be able to avoid them. Bring something for the potluck afterward, though if you cannot, don’t let that stop you. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

The Sun is back!
Join us as we celebrate the coming of springtime – it’s not here yet, but the days are getting longer and the soil will soon thaw.

It’s a time for patience and planning, so that we will be ready when the Earth is ready.
