Nanaimo Celebration – March 20th
Courtenay Celebration – March 21st (Click here for more information on the Courtenay celebration)
We would like to thank Devon B for generously sponsoring the Nanaimo Ostara Ritual.
The Temple of the Green Cauldron invites the public to attend our open ritual, celebrating the balance of day and night at the vernal equinox, by joining us in the circle or watching from without. On this day we are mid way between the dark of winter at Yule and the height of light at LItha, the summer solstice.
As the daylight increases we welcome the suns life-giving warmth, the first day of spring, and the fertility of the land. Plants emerge from their winter slumber and the sun warmed earth is being readied for planting.
This is a time of rebirth, renewal, and action following winter’s rest. There is an urge towards spring house cleaning, and taking stock of what work and repairs are needed. It is a time of new beginnings and the chance to reevaulate our lives and then correct inbalances.
A potluck meal will follow the ritual, so bring along your favourite treat to share with everyone.
The fund raiser will be the last opportunity you will have to purchase books-so bring your loonies, toonies and quarters.
The Temple would like to remind everyone that while photography is not forbidden, we ask that you please get permission ofrom those who will be in your picture before you click.
