Virtual New Moon Red Tent Circle- Celebrating Earth Element
Apr 22 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Virtual

Image may contain: bedroom, table and indoor

* Because of the COVID-19 virus pandemic we will be circling in an online virtual space via ZOOM. I will be posting the link in the event and on the facebook page.

Hello Dear Sisters and fellow Priestesses! This will be the fourth in our red tent-celebrating the 5 elements series! If you couldn’t make it to the first, no worries there is no requirement to attend them all. This month the new moon will be in Taurus, so we we be honoring the element of Earth. We will be using some rituals and readings from Daniel Dulsky’s “The Holy Wild”. Feel free to purchase the book if you would like (its AMAZING), but it is not necessary :).

Please arrive wearing red, and be prepared to enter sacred space with your sisters. Adorn yourself for this circle my sisters, you will be attending a “wedding”, and you will be the bride. You will be marrying yourself my Queen! Dedicating YOUR life to YOU and the Earth that is you! Please bring an item to your alter to be blessed that represents what “Earth” and “Taurus” means to you :). I also recommend bringing a nice plump pomegranate or red apple to the meeting. We will be eating them as a symbolic gesture honoring our initiation and journey. I also recommend taking a nice hot ritual bath with salts and oils before attending, it will help to further ingrain the luxurious taurus energy, cleanse your energy field, and help to root you into your soft animal body, further preparing you for circle. Of course these are not requirements, just suggestions to help you embody this energy:)))!

I do a lot of planning, reading, meditating, writing, and buying sacred items for our circles. This is why I am humbly asking for donation based contributions. To those that are financially affected by this virus, please know your presence will be your gift. To those that still have the means, I humbly ask for your support. Suggested donation will be $5-$20 :). Thank you so much in advance for your contributions to the sisterhood. It’s because of community that we are able to gather and strengthen one another
