Way of the Herbs: The Sacred Turnings
Journey through the Wheel of the Year to remember your connection to the seasons, to Irish folk magic and ancestral traditions, with a herb as your special guide
REGISTRATION OPENS 1 December 2024
Join me for Way of the Herbs: The Sacred Turnings, a yearlong gathering through the anciet Irish Wheel of the Year.
We meet for ritual (via Zoom) on each of the great turnings beginning with Winter Solstice in December 2024 and ending with Samhain, the Celtic New Year, in November 2025. For each of the celebrations, we will invoke a herb that aligns with the energies of that season, deepening in with their wisdom through a plant spirit journey and invitations to engage with them.
As a tender of the hearth of my Irish ancestors I invite you to join me from your own hearth, in virtual community, with our inner and outer fires drawing us together. We will meet in community eight times through the year for ritual to honor these portal times. All gatherings are live via Zoom and a recording will be sent after for those unable to attend.
May we remember that gathering in community, honoring the seasons and the cycles of the cosmos, brings us back into relationship with the land and our intimate connection to them and each other. May we remember the magic found in honoring these turnings, reflected by the wisdom of the herbs.
In Way of the Herbs: the Sacred Turnings we will:
Connect to honor the ancient turnings
Celebrate ritual with community
Ally with a a herb for each turning
Remember and embody what it means to engage with the wild Elements
Initiate spells and other rituals throughout the season
Remember what it means to tend to the hearth
Come into relationship and intimacy with the land and their seasons
Connect with your wild nature, within and without
All are welcome.
Add Hearth-Tending, a five- week gathering, to journey from the dark of Winter Solstice, guided by a Solstice candle lit at the hearth, through to Imbolc, where we tend to Brigid’s flame, protecting hearth, home and household. We will gather at our virtual and physical hearth each week to invoke the aspect of tending to the hearth, to find the simple and rich joy in nourishment for body and spirit, to create, to listen and to share.
