Join BrightFlame and friends for a Brighid
(Imbolc) ritual
Friday
February 3, 8pm in NYC
Midtown Manhattan (near 39th & 6th
Ave)
Please join BrightFlame, Sera Solstice and friends for a Reclaiming Tradition ritual to celebrate the turning of the wheel—the point between Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox when we honor Brighid, Goddess of smithcraft (the forge), poetry and healing. Imbolc is a good time to begin a new project or course of study. It's a time of making commitments and dedications. We welcome our Occupy friends—this will be a wonderful opportunity for healing and recharging. Discussion about Reclaiming and future opportunities to gather will follow the ritual for those interested. Expect: magic! Bring: yourself with the intention to participate in a Reclaiming style ritual. Encouraged: finger food or
(non-alcoholic) beverage to share after the ritual—no one
turned away, no worries if you can't easily bring
something. To keep disposables to a minimum, aim for food
we can eat on napkins and with fingers. We'll provide
napkins, some serving utensils and cups. Cost:
none, though we suggest a donation for the space ($1 to $5
if you can) Ritual items (optional): You are welcome to bring objects for the altar. You might also like a candle to take home Brighid's flame, and a small container to take home some water from Her well. Wear: comfortable clothing. Our space requires that you take off your shoes, so wear comfy socks. Where: please rsvp to email address below for exact location. We are sorry that this space is not accessible—you will need to climb 2 flights of stairs. Timeframe: please be considerate and arrive at 8pm. It is disruptive to enter a ritual in progress. Ritual will last roughly 90 minutes, followed by sharing food and discussion about Reclaiming. Note that Reclaiming events are clean and sober.
