Litha Celebration

Join the Temple of Witchcraft for the Sabbat of Litha!

The Summer Solstice is when the Sun God reaches its peak of light and power, but it is also the time when the Sun dwells in the sign of the Great Mother of Life, the Sign of Cancer. Cancer is the Gate of Souls as she manifests as the Earth Mother, Ocean Mother, Lady of the Moon and Star Goddess. Join us as we celebrate the Lord of Light though honoring the Greater Mother in a powerful act of devotion, trance and consecration to restore our relationships with the Goddess of All.

All are welcome at the Temple Sabbats, but if you have any questions, please email pisces@templeofwitchcraft.org. Dress is casual or "Witch Formal."

Sliding scale fee of $15-$25, $35 to attend both the ritual and the afternoon workshop. Work-exchange and scholarship option are available for those wish to contribute in other ways. Please email volunteer@templeofwitchcraft.org to inquire.

Yarn Drive

The Temple will be collecting yarn for our Shawl Ministry at the Litha gathering. Now is a great opportunity to donate new skeins of yarn or to clear out closets and crafting spaces of stashes of yarn you've been holding on to! If you're interested in finding out more about the Shawl Ministry, check out the link to our website or email cancer@templeofwitchcraft.org.

Ritual Potluck

We have the opportunity to share the bounty of the season together as a community with our after-sabbat potluck feast! Please consider bringing an item to share, with suggestions based on the first letter of your last name. This list changes every Sabbat to encourage variety and creativity, so please double check each time!

A–E: Beverages (non-alcoholic, please): tea, cider, fruit juice, lemonade, etc.

F–J: A main dish which could include a protein (either meat or vegetarian).

K–O: A side dish, perhaps a salad of vegetables or fruits (or both!). Try to keep salads vegetarian (no meat) or vegan (no animal products, including milk or cheese).

P–S: A grain item such as bread or crackers, possibly with an accompaniment like cheese or hummus, if you wish.

T–Z: A sweet or savory dessert: cookies, cake, pie, fresh or dried fruit, chocolate (good for grounding!), etc.

If you can, please label your food item so we know what it is. Our Mother Ministry will provide all the necessary eating utensils, cups, napkins, and so forth. If you have questions about what to bring, please email cancer@templeofwitchcraft.org.
