In ancient times, Gods and Goddesses were often known not just by their names, but also by their epithets, a descriptor that was connected to a function or to a place. This ritual will celebrate Cernunnos Denton – Cernunnos as he is known and worshipped here in Denton. It will show us how to take refuge in the wild in these difficult times.

Samhain – “Summer’s End” – is the holy day that would become All Hallow’s Eve, and later Halloween. At this time the ordinary world and the world of the Gods and Ancestors draw close, and perhaps, overlap.

As we did in 2011, 2015, and 2019, we will walk the Spiral Labyrinth. This is a rare opportunity to participate in a rite of beauty and introspection.

Please bring a picture or other memento for our Altar of the Ancestors. We will be outdoors if the weather permits – indoors if it does not.

Saturday, November 4. Gathering begins at 7:00 PM and the ritual begins promptly at 7:30 PM. At the Denton Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 1111 Cordell Street, Denton, TX 76201.

Denton CUUPS hasn’t held a business meeting or officer elections since 2019. We are thankful for those who have kept things going and who have supported CUUPS over these difficult years, but it’s time to go back to being a democratically run organization.

Please join us from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Saturday, October 7 at the Denton Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. We will elect a new slate of officers for the 2023-24 chapter year, we’ll set the ritual calendar for 2024, and we’ll discuss what classes and other events we want to hold in the coming year.

All CUUPS member and those interested in becoming members are encouraged to attend and participate. Make your voice heard.

Additionally, this is when we will determine whether or not we have enough commitments to do the Spiral Labyrinth at this year’s Samhain circle. We have done the Spiral Labyrinth every four years since 2011, but it requires many people to set it up and take it down. If you can help with the Spiral Labyrinth on November 4 but you cannot be at the business meeting, please contact Cyn or John and let them know prior to October 7.
