Samhain – “Summer’s End” – is the holy day that would become All Hallow’s Eve, and later Halloween. At this season the ordinary world and the world of the Gods and Ancestors draw close, and perhaps, overlap. In our ritual we will acknowledge this liminal time, and we will listen for the Otherworldly persons who would speak with us.

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

Children who can participate maturely and respectfully are welcome to join in. We will have childcare for younger children. In case of inclement weather, the Spiral Labyrinth will be set up in Miller Hall.

Gathering begins at 7:00 and the ritual begins promptly at 7:30. There will be a potluck after ritual.

Join us as we celebrate the harvest as it was honored along the Nile 3000 years ago. Here we will honor the death and resurrection of the god of agriculture, Osiris.

If you have any questions regarding the ritual, please email the ritual coordinator Cynthia Talbot ( Cyntalbot@gmail.com )

In ancient Rome the Pantheon was a temple to many Gods and Goddesses. In our time a Pantheon is a grouping of many deities from a single culture. This Beltane, Denton CUUPS will present our Pantheon: the many deities who we honor and serve. All are welcome to come learn, and listen, and if you are so moved, to respond to Their call.

And because it’s Beltane, we will begin with out traditional Maypole Dance.

Childcare will be provided.

Social hour and potluck will follow ritual.
