Ritual Circle Set-Up |

Hermeticism originates from a body of philosophical and religious writings popularly attributed to Hermes Trismegistus (or Thrice Great Hermes), a deity resulting from the fusion of the Greek Hermes and the Egyptian Thoth. Hermeticism, which emerged at the same time as early Christianity, profoundly influenced Greek thought. When it was rediscovered in the 15th century, it was a driving force behind the Renaissance, inspiring many of the greatest minds in the West. Hermeticism is the basis of medieval European magick and alchemy, and much modern ceremonial magick.

The fool is led by his heart, many times on a path that she/he doesn't fully understand, but knows to be the right one. When someone is not in a state of wholeness, it can be harder to hear what the heart is saying. Messages become garbled. Or worse, we get wrong directions. When we are in a state of wholeness, it becomes easier to hear and trust what is right. This is a hands-on, experiential workshop, with the attendees learning and working with, and on, each other. |

Sacred Circle - The Qabalistic Tree of Life - Tony Mierzwicki
Planetary Spheres and The Chakras as Roadmaps of Spiritual Development. In late antiquity it was believed that the earth was surrounded by the air and a number of heavenly spheres. Typically, there heavenly spheres were believed to consist of the seven planets, which in turn were surrounded by one or more spheres corresponding to the realm(s) beyond the planets. The Tree of Life is the central glyph within the Hebraic esoteric teachings known as the Qabala. The Tree of Life can be seen as a blueprint for Creation and incorporates the system of heavenly spheres. The Tree of Life can also be seen as both a classification system and a roadmap of spiritual development.

Selene's golden crown was said to illuminate the night sky. Every night, Selene journeyed across the heavens, clad in splendid robes, riding in a chariot drawn by two white horses, mules, or cows. Sometimes she was portrayed as mounted on a horse, mule, or bull. The horns of the bull and cows symbolized the crescent moon. IF time and circumstances permit, and invocation of Selene will be included.

| 10:30 pm | Heart Chakra - Ritual: The Fool's Rangoli
Intent: A chance to personally integrate the Fool’s journey through sound, dance, and meditation. Description: The Rangoli is a sacred space where festivants enter with intent to do spiritual work round the fire in a contained vessel. While dancing the intricate pattern of herbs and spices into the earth, and upwelling of sound, drumming, dancing, and word takes place to aid you. PLEASE, you are either within or without in this ritual, not a spectator. While this takes place within our community Heart Chakra, please leave a ten foot buffer zone outside the formal marked ritual boundaries for those in focus. Keep conversation, alcohol, and distractions at the very outer edge of the Heart Chakra while this ritual takes place. Opening Ceremony for the Rangoli will be heralded, likely 10:30pm to 11:00pm, often runs until dawn. You may leave and return as your spirit calls.
