WiCoM Yule Celebration Cancelled Due to Bad Weather
The Ritualists, Green Man, May Queen, and the Executive Committee have decided to cancel the Yule celebration in the interests of safety. With the impending heavy snow fall and below zero temperatures it seems wiser for everyone to avoid travel.
Everyone at WiCoM wishes you all a Blessed, and safe, Yule!

Slow down and reflect with family
Greetings WiCoM members!
Blessed Samhain. I hope you all had a great year. As Fall rolls on, and Winter draws near, we
feel its breath beginning to chill our skin. We ignite our furnaces, the hearth fires of today, and
keep our kin warm. We pull in our final harvest and begin hunkering down for the cold months to come. Where traditionally this was a time of silence and a time to reflect, in today’s world we don’t stop. We don’t slow down and take that time to rest. We don’t have the long months of seclusion with our families. I encourage you to take time to slow down. Talk with family. Your spouse or SO, your children, your brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, anyone related to you. Bury hatchets and remember your roots. Connect. Live. Life is too short for bullshit. Be happy my people.

The Time of Turning In
The wheel turns and we begin a new year in a glorious riot of color
here in beautiful Minnesota. I have not seen colors this brilliant in
many years, and have enjoyed being out in the sunshine and the
cooler weather. I finally had to turn the furnace on the other morning
as Winter slowly creeps ever forward…
Now is the time of the last harvest. Now is the time when everything
around us dies. Now is the time of hibernation. Now is the time of
the deepening dark. Now is the time of turning in… The turning in
happens in many ways for us – we turn into our homes more than
the outside and concentrate on those things that can get done in the
colder weather – the baking, canning, home improvement projects, getting ready for holiday
time, reading. We spend more time inside with our families, and our pets. It is a time to slow
down a bit, and have some projects lined up you can do with family and friends.
I have my winter list of reading and several quilt projects lined up, and have some time for self
reflection as I sit wrapped in a quilt cuddling with kitties. How are you planning on spending
your turning in time? Take stock of your projects for the winter. What books are you planning
to read? What part of your spiritual path will you now have a little more time to develop? Have
you planned out some time to spend with friends and family?
This time of turning in for many is a good opportunity to meditate, commune with deity in the
quiet, and perhaps gain some insight into where you are headed on
your path. Enjoy your harvest, sleep in when you can, do a little candle
scrying, spend some time in the dark and the silence.
Blessed Be

Public Samhain Ritual
Adrastos Coven would like to invite you to celebrate Samhain with the Wiccan Chuorrch of Minnesota. While open to the public, this is not a Ritual for children. We will be traveling down to Hades’ realm, passing through the seven gates, and crossing the seven rivers to meet our departed family and friends. You will need to bring two coins with you for the ferryman. There will be a place in Ritual to call out the names of your dead who you wish to remember. Call out to them loud as the realm of Hades is vast. There will be an ancestor table so please bring pictures or items of significance for your loved ones who have crossed the veil. After Ritual, there will be a pot luck feast with community.
Things to bring…
Two coins for the ferryman
Names of the dead whom you wish to remember (These do NOT need to be written down, but only carried in your heart and head.)
Pictures or items of remembrance for the ancestor table
Potluck dish to share

Autumn Equinox Ritual Announcement

Potluck Feast to Follow
The Autumnal Equinox is a time of balance. Above the day and night, the Sun and the Moon, share equal time. They are in balance. How are we doing below maintaining balance? Are we struggling to maintain equilibrium amongst all the conflicting priorities in our lives? Are we going crazy trying to keep up with work, family obligations, studies, and volunteer time? Is it time to find a new equilibrium?
We invite you to our Fall Equinox Ritual during which we will ask the Moon Goddess, Artemis, and the Sun God, Apollo, to help us find a new equilibrium; to help us balance all these conflicting priorities in our lives. Members of the public are welcome. Children are welcome.
This ritual will be presented by Torch, Key, and Wing coven. Any questions about the ritual can be directed to [email protected].
Please note that this is an equinox observation, not a Mabon Harvest celebration. If you are looking for a traditional Mabon celebration, this might not be for you.
Welcome!
