Mabon/Autumnal Equinox Celebration 2008

There will be an open ritual celebrating the turning of the Wheel to the Autumnal Equinox, also known as Mabon on September 27th, 2008. Ritual will begin about 7:30 p.m.

As any good Pagan knows we honour our ancestors and we follow the religion of our ancestors. Blackberry Circle recognizes the need to be able to connect what the ancient ones did in everyday life with our own personal lives in an attempt to not only understand them but to form that special bond.

Fortunately we live in an area that has a strong connection with the way our ancestors did things... not only are we Pagan but many of us who were raised below the Bible Belt are known as Rednecks; hard working people who develop a red neck and farmer tans from working outside in the hot Texas sun.

We know how our ancestors did things because we still do them the same way. We also understand the importance of proper hydration (beer) during these hot days, the love of a good woman (Daisy Duke waiting on us hand and foot) after a long day in the fields, and of proper entertainment (NASCAR and shootin' beer cans) to help relax us.



With this in mind we are honouring our ancestors and the harvest of the field with a Redneck Ritual. Wear your Sunday, go-to-meetin' overalls, wash your feet, and bring that woman of yourin with her Daisy Dukes. If ya got Daisy Duke, you can bring her too.



If folks want we will have a revel fire (bonfire) and if you bring your drums and other instruments, poi, sticks, et cetera, we will have more fun than a Pagan is allowed.



Oh yeah, you are more than welcome to bring your yungins...

It is also during this ritual that we will begin taking on students. You can learn more about being a student and what we are teaching by visiting the Student's Page.

This event will be child friendly so bring the young'uns

Non-alcoholic drinks will be provided. You are more than welcome to bring refreshments of your own liking.

Please leave your fur children (pets) at home
