Ostara (Spring Equinox) Sabbat, 6:45 AM (dawn)
We assemble at dawn and face the east to drum up the sun and welcome the spring. Dress warmly in layers, bring your drums and rattles, and get ready to have a very good time coaxing the first rays of light up over the clouds. At the time of the equinox, with day and night balanced, we focus on creating our own balance. The ritual is followed by a potluck breakfast nearby.

Beltane (May Day) Sabbat, 2 PM
Our Lady of the Woods will celebrate Beltane with a ritual, feast, and May pole dance. The Beltane sabbat marks the beginning of the summer for the Celts. For many England towns, the May pole remained stationed at the town center, becoming a gathering place for the whole season, which was a sort of on-going block party. We hope to recreate some of those good times at this celebration. The pot luck feast will give way to songs, dance, and stories. Dress festively and bring drums and musical instruments. (Please note that we changed the location of this event from North Measa Park to the grove in front of the Unitarian Church.)

Magickal Mountain Mabon (Autumn Equinox) Festival
FEE: TDB (usually about $30 for the weekend for each adult)
The second harvest of the Wiccan year is a harvest of fruits, though in the northern regions of New Mexico, we very much associate this time of year with apples and chili. This campout event is sponsored by the Chamisa Local Council of the Covenant of the Goddess. The weekend includes several rituals, workshops, and primitive camping among pagan folk. Attendees must register by September 1; there is no onsite registration. We will post a link to a description of the festival and registration forms when they are available, around mid-June. Our advice is to register early; this event always sells out.

Samhain Sabbat, 6 PM
Like Beltane, the winter sabbat of Samhain has been marked and celebrated by many cultures. It is the final harvest of the year, the animal harvest. It is the gateway to the coming winter. With the harvests completed, the community draws together one final time to share. Today, we associate the Samhain sabbat with our loved ones who have passed on to Summerland. We devote a space to them at our table, bringing their favorite food or drink. On this evening, when the veil between the worlds is thin, we rely on our inner sight to divine our future. The ritual will be followed by a pot luck feast.

Yule (Winter Solstice) Sabbat, 6 PM
The light returns! The new sun king is reborn! The Holly King gives way to the Oak King and we rejoice. Yule is one of the oldest festivals, celebrating the pivotal point at which daylight begins to wax. It is a time of hope and gathering, a time to celebrate our humanity, compassion, and kindness, to offer our good cheer to all. And, perhaps to visit with some unique characters like Mother Berchta. The ritual will be followed by a fine pot luck feast.
