Shamanic journey
We are a Pagan tribe, walking the ancient paths between the worlds.
With the heartbeat of the drum, we awaken the spirits of earth and sky. The rhythm calls our ancestors, our animal guides, our spirit helpers-- those who walk beside us in wisdom and love.
Through the journey we seek our guides, our allies, our teachers in fur, feather, or flame. In finding them we find ourselves, together we journey between the worlds, gathering empowerment, healing and truth.
We listen to the whispers of the stream, to the breath of wind through leaves. We remember that we are not apart from nature, we are nature!
In unity, we bring our strength and compassion to serve the balance of all life, as we heal ourselves, we heal the earth, as we honor the earth, we honor the divine in all things.
We journey Wednesday evenings at 7:00 PM, beginner's welcome, we have limited space so please reserve.
All classes are free.

The Ritual
We gather in reverence to the living world — to the elements, the spirits of nature, and the ancestors who walk beside us. To us, they are not distant forces but friends and tribe members, honored and welcomed into our circle.
Before our rites begin, we share offerings — honey, oats, spirits, and whatever nourishment we ourselves enjoy. These are given in gratitude and kinship, for what we offer to the spirits we also offer to one another.
When weather allows, our rituals take place beneath the open sky. Together we strike spark to flint and breathe life into the sacred fire. From its coals we perform the saining, blessing each other in preparation to enter the circle.
The circle is cast with the staff — walked with intention, the ground struck three times — a declaration in all worlds that sacred space has been created. This is the space between worlds, where the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water are called and welcomed.
We invite the nature spirits, our animal guides, and our ancestors to join us. Then the work begins: honoring the Moon or the Sabbat through story, chant, and the raising of energy.
At the height of our working, we share libation — blessing and passing food and drink among all present, both seen and unseen.
When the rite is complete, we offer thanks to the spirits and the elements, and the circle is opened once more with the staff — the sacred returning to the everyday, the bond between worlds renewed.
