Due to health concerns regarding COVID-19, we have decided to take precaution over the health of our friends and attendees and found it would be best to cancel our spring Disablot gathering scheduled for March 21st.
Presently, we hope to see you at the Spring Social Gathering at 1 pm on Saturday, April 18th and/or our Beltane ritual on Saturday, May 2nd at 7 pm, until further notice.
We wish everyone a healthy, safe, and happy spring equinox!
Come join Denton CUUPs in celebrating our spring Dísablót, a celebration to honor the dísir, give them sacrifice, and celebrate the coming spring season as the dísir gather to deal in fate, fortune, death, and prosperity at their springtime parliament.
Bring yourself and a potluck dish to share afterwards.
For questions, email Denton CUUPs (dentoncuupstx@gmail.com) or our ritual coordinator, Elise Kolderup (elisekolderup@gmail.com)

This is an opportunity for all to honor Sól, and for all those willing and in attendance to give her their offerings and prayers. It is also a time to feast, sing, and be merry! The opportunity is open to all to perform stories, songs, and poetry during our post-ritual potluck.

Childcare will be provided upon request in advance, please contact us by Monday, December 16th, if you plan on bringing children in need of childcare, so we may contact our childcare providers.

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.
Gathering begins at 7:00 PM, ritual starts at 7:30. There will be a potluck after ritual, and childcare services will be provided.
If you have any questions regarding the ritual, please email the ritual coordinator Cynthia Talbot ( Cyntalbot@gmail.com )
