HEARTH'S HOME

An Open Pagan Community based in Springfield, Delaware County

Donate your new, gently-used, or hand-crafted pagan goods to our Bazaar

We are continuing the bazaar sale table in 2018. Sales commence immediately following the ritual. We need help in setting up the table, marking prices, and manning the table. If you're interested, please email Rae, Hearth's Home's sales goddess, at: info@. (Bonus: if you help with the table, you get first dibs on purchasing any items you see there!)

Please donate your new, gently-used, or handcrafted pagan-interest items to us! If you are bringing donations, please arrive by 5:30 so we can price and display them!

All sales benefit Hearth's Home, and help us pay the rent on the Meeting House space we use for events and storage.

Yule

Our Yule ritual was intimate, sacred, and quite joyful. We hope that all of our members who couldn't join us had a similarly magical evening!

Sid and Shawna presided over their first ritual, and did a beautiful job. The circle was cast with movement and light, as our traditional circle of candle dancers -- five graceful volunteers! -- mesmerized the room with their powerful magick. Later, the celebrants visited the compass directions, consulting with one of four elemental representatives about their goals and dreams for the coming year.

Members old and new feasted heartily after the ceremony, and a good time, with engaging fellowship, was had by all!

Volunteers for Imbolc

Calling all members! We are looking for volunteers to help with our Imbolc celebration on February 3rd. We need:

Next ritual: Imbolc

WHEN & WHERE: Our Imbolc ritual is on Sat., Feb. 3. at the Springfield Friends Meeting House. RSVP here

WHAT: Imbolc is the midpoint between Winter and Spring, when we call upon Spirit to energize the germinating life under the ground, and our ambitions for the future. A fire festival, Imbolc is a time of increasing light; the deities are once again Maiden and Youth, and we, too, renew ourselves by casting out the old to make room for the new.

? People for short speaking parts, to be memorized ? Guides to lead people into the ritual room starting at 5:30pm

(this ritual has a `soft start,' with early entry for quiet contemplation & energy balancing before the official start) ? People who can arrive early for setup ? People who can stay late for cleanup

If you have some other talent or skill, or just want to help somehow, please contact Marge via Meetup private messages.

Donate Online
