The CWABC, as a Wiccan religious organization, supports as an article of faith, as stated in the Charge of the Goddess, that “all acts of love and pleasure” are the Goddess’ rituals. To us this means that any form of love or sexuality that is non-abusive, and non-coercive, between consenting adults, is acceptable and even desirable. This includes, but is not limited to, relationships that are heterosexual or homosexual, relationships that are monogamous or polyamorous, and relationships that are alternative or conventional. Our clergy can, and will, perform any kind of Pagan-oriented or Pagan-multifaith marriage ceremony within the bounds of the law. However, the law currently forbids legally recognized clergy from presiding over any ceremony that bears any sort of resemblance to a wedding between more than two partners. For this reason, and only this reason, our religious representatives, as recognized by the Province of British Columbia, cannot perform polyamorous handfastings, or even handfastings between two people when one of the parties involved is still legally married to someone else. If we are approached to perform such a ceremony, we will refer the interested parties to clergy within our Church, or to qualified individuals within the Pagan community, who do not have legal marrying credentials from the Province of British Columbia.

Chanting is a powerful component of Wicca spirituality. It can be used to connect the spirit to the divine through the power of voice. From: http://www.en-chant-ment.ca/Classnotes.html Songs and/or chants are used for a variety of purposes in Pagan ritual, such as evocations, invocations, power raising, trance induction, quarter calls & farewells, creating group/community mind, soothing jagged emotions and generating visions. The temple, being open to the public, often has a large number of newcomers or seekers that may not know our chants and rituals. The choir will be a collection of strong and experienced voices that that lead the circle in ritual chants and song, helping others to raise the energy and create magick with song. In time, it is also our hope to have a group that can perform in public and be used for public outreach. Being a member of the Choir will be a lot of work, but will be a lot of fun and very rewarding! Before you commit:
Practice will be minimum 2 hours weekly (with breaks over the summer) date TBC. You should be able to attend most of the temples main rituals during the year (the 8 Sabbats). How do I get involved? Please get in touch with Megan Gariepy, 250-758-0016 megangariepy@hotmail.com When we have list of people together we will schedule the first practice. (Very soon!)
It is that time of year again when we start the mad round of fund-raising in order to present our Pagan Pride Day event. The event has become more successful with each passing year.! We are setting up a few fund-raising events and are hoping that you will come out to lend a hand or offer your support. We have scheduled 6 car washes, weather permitting, starting this month. The first one is: DATE: May 29, 2010 TIME: 10:30 am – 2:30/3:00 pm PLACE: Petro Can Gas station at Country Club Mall, next to Dairy Queen This year all our fund-raising will again be donated to the Nanaimo Hospital Foundation, specifically towards the much needed new Emergency As Nanaimo Pagan Pride Days local coordinator, I wish to thank the Temple of the Green Cauldron for sponsoring this event for the 6th year. The members of the Temple have been a great help in providing the manpower to make this day long festival work. I would also like to thank Lobelia’s Lair and Thrifty Foods at Longwood Station for their continued support and donations. Apart from car washes, we will be trying a few new ideas, and shall be asking for volunteers to sell r Please watch the website for updates on events and lend a hand if you are able!! Thanks to all of the people that have helped each year. Sally Kimber info@nanaimopaganpride.org But we would not be able to put together such an event packed day day without all of our hardworking members and supporters. This is the time of year that the Green Cauldron moves their Sabbat rituals to the outdoors. Usually we provide disposable dishes and cutlery.To reduce the negative effect caused by the paper and plastic garbage, we are asking that each person attending these outdoor rituals to please bring along their own cup, plate, and cutlery. This will be in effect for Beltain (May 1), Litha (June 26), Lughnasadh (August 7), and Mabon (September 25). Your cooperation is greatly appreciated. |
