This event will centre around a ritual observing the sabbat, or seasonal festival, of Imbolc (Oimelc) in the Southern Hemisphere, the time of the year when the spirit of the land reawakens after its winter hibernation.

Within contemporary witchcraft we welcome back the Maid of Spring through the awakening of Mother Earth as well as igniting the young Horned God.

The gathering place is the covenstead of the Temple of the Dark Moon (Parafield Gardens).

The evening will involve a short explanation of the sabbat, the ritual, and then a celebratory feast and socialising.

No ritual experience is necessary as a ritual etiquette fact sheet will be provided to you.

Participants are asked to bring:

:: Ritual garb (if you have any) to change into.

:: A small plate of food to share as part of the feast.
