Please join the Whatcom Pagans on Saturday, December 20th at the Center for Spiritual Living for a Yule ritual that celebrates the darkness from which all things emerge. Doors will open at 7pm and ritual will begin promptly at 7:30. After ritual there will be a cozy potluck hour of desserts and hot beverages.
Please note that this ritual will be held in complete darkness and no lights will be allowed for the duration.
The veil between the worlds is thinning, so we’re having a party! Join us as Whatcom Pagans celebrates Samhain in macabre fashion with an almost traditional Halloween party; food, music, activities, much spooky merriment, and something extra. This is a masquerade, so come in costume, or don’t, but it’s encouraged.
The party starts when the doors open at 5:43pm, which is sunset. You can mill around outside before that if you like. The ritual will start after 6:30pm. Expect the unexpected, but here are some hints:
· Not just a party, this is also a serious ritual to honor our ancestors and beloved dead, so bring a photo or memento of someone to add to the altar, if you can.
· We will have a Jack-o-Lantern contest, so bring your best pre-carved pumpkin to be judged.
· There will also be a costume contest, so wear a costume and/or mask if you’d like.
· Come prepared for the weather. There will be a point where you might want to go outside in the darkening woods. Bring a warm layer and shoes if you think you might need them.
This event is a potluck, as usual, so bring something to share if you can. Please label all ingredients in each dish. We ask for a $10 donation per person, but no one is ever turned away for lack of funds. We will also be collecting for the Food Bank, so bring any non-perishable, non-expired food items you would like to donate. There will be a Magical Move-along table, so if you have any Pagan related items you would like to give away, please bring them.

Lammas, August 1st -3rd Lammas is the first harvest festival of the year and is celebrated by much feasting on all things made of grain. It is also a time of much merry-making as the first grains of the season are collected, from the fields. For Lammas 2025 there will be the main ritual, women’s ritual Friday evening and we will have crafts and workshops for everyone to participate in. Not sure we will have games this year, but stay tuned for that. There will also be building the Bread Goddess, lounging in the river, and drumming and chanting. It is primitive camping, so come prepared for hot or cold weather. Bring bread for the bread goddess along with food and drink for the bread and beer feast. For further information and directions to Lammas DM Elaine or email at jezanna@gmail.com. Cost is $55 for the weekend.
