Calendar

From 7pm to 9pm  Council will be in the Hall, hanging out, waiting to see whoever stops by.  Have some questions?  Need some face time?  Never been here and you want to check out the space on an informal, less busy night?  Open Hours is the place to be.  Council wanted to find a time where we could be available for this casual time with whoever needs it so usually, on the first Friday of the month, the three of us are in the Hall waiting for YOU to stop by.  There is nothing planned, no program or speaker, no ritual.  You can stay for five minutes or stay the full two hours, whatever you need.

Please park on Swallow at 901 E Swallow and make your way around to the far side of the garage.  Enter through the yellow door.  We look forward to seeing you and to meeting new people!

Even if you didn’t come last week, you are welcome tonight.

This will be a continuation of last weeks “How to Write a Ritual”. We will be diving a little more in depth and covering some other circumstances that we didn’t get to in the first session.

This will again be on Zoom starting at approx 6pm for those that wish to participate remotely.

Potluck begins at 5:30 so if you are able please bring a dish to share, but as always we’d rather have you there even if you can’t bring something for the potluck. Business begins about 6, and the presentation will begin around 6:20.

Northern Colorado Covenant of the River will host an open Board meeting.  The Board meetings are typically not open for folks to attend so that the work can get completed.  But we do like to have feedback from all of you about what you like or don’t like, what you want more of and things like that.  It helps us to plan our finances and activities.  We will also be sharing with anyone who attends what the financial status of our church is.    So, come on over to the Hall.  Maybe it sounds boring or too “businessy” but it’s the structure that keeps us going.  We will open at 7:00 pm. We will start the meeting at 7:30pm.

Zoom is also available. The Zoom Room will open around 7:15pm.  Instructions for Zoom is on our front/main page.  It’s only once a year and we would really like to see as many people attend as possible.

Bring snacks!

The Dark Moon Group is going to try a rare Saturday get together.  We will gather at the Hall at the usual 7pm time for conversation and lighting the cauldron of candles.  The cauldron is full and messy and so,  in keeping with the  rising of Persephone it will be starting over this month ready for new candles.

The Dark Moon group is usually small with a variety of people coming when it works for them but often only 5 or so people on a given month.  If you have never been to a Dark Moon Group, you are very welcome, even if it is your first Covenant activity.  It’s dark with low lighting and usually quiet.

Around 7:30 we will talk about Persephone in the Spring.  Everyone seems to identify with the darkness of Persephone in the fall as she descends into the Underworld.  But what does it mean to be the Queen of the Underworld, called back each Spring from your husband and children and your kingdom,  back to your childhood, to making flowers, to being with your mom to bring the world back to life?    Perhaps there are things to learn about dichotomies in this month of balance with the Equinox coming on the 19th.  Can you be a “dark goddess” or a person who feels dark sometimes and identifies with the darkness and still bring life or light to a dark world, including to yourself?  Let’s find out.  I’d love to hear what you think.

** Don’t forget it’s Spring Forward day**  Yeah, that’s why your phone and computer just went ahead and did it for you but if you have any analog time keepers, make sure you arrive at the new “summer” time. 

We are very excited tonight to have member Nate step up to share his interest in Sigils and how you can use them in your life and in your practice.

From Nate: “Books on magic can be found in any public library, but they necessarily speak in generalities. How can we transition from passive consumers of magic to active wielders of it?

Join Nate for a presentation on constructing Sigils for personal use, followed by a discussion. We will explore the philosophy behind contemporary sigil techniques, and methods for creating the Sigil, powering the Sigil, and using the Sigil.

These techniques are associated with Chaos Magic, but this presentation will be focused on practical Sigil usage, and is applicable to any path.”

We will have a potluck at 5:30 so plan to come and bring something to share.  If you don’t have anything, come anyway!  We mean it. There is food for all, plenty.  Around 6pm we will begin with announcements and yahoos/prayer requests.
