Our Major Sabbats are performed in an eclectic wiccan ritual format. This year’s ceremony was held in honor of the Greek Goddess Hekate, Dark Mother who keeps and cares for the dead, leads us through the darkness with her twin torches of illumination and holds the keys of fate.

As the nature of this ceremony was very personal and powerful, we held it in the privacy of one of our members’ homes. We invoked the Goddess, invited in the ancestors to bid them one final farewell before they passed to land of renewal. And we did some fire magic to release our troubles from the last year.
