- The Dark Moon group meets at 7:00pm in the Hall to talk and light the candles in the Cauldron of Candles (this is casual and fun, not a formal ritual). Around 7:30 the evening begins with information about the topic and then a short ritual. Come when you can, you don’t have to be on time and leave early if that works for you.
This month we will be meeting Gyhldeptis, a Native American Goddess from the NW Coast of the US, from the Haida and Tligit tribes. She is not herself a Dark Goddess, but what she asks of you will still be difficult and the path might be dark. Her wish is that you whole yourself. This might mean shadow work. This might be confronting all of the parts of yourself that you have tried to discard rather than having to face them. To pull yourself together, as it were. To synthesize the parts you don’t like with those that you do so that you will become light and dark together and see the value in both.
Dark Moon Group is a small group that gathers once a month to talk, light candles, and peer into the darker parts of mythology and ourselves and face the challenge. It is open to anyone. You do not need to have attended a Covenant event before. It’s very casual. You also don’t need to believe in any goddess or the monthly topic. Using mythology, even as just stories, can be an important part of a spiritual practice or just for the sake of learning.

Known to the Tlingit and Haida peoples of Alaska and Canada. There was chaos in nature and she created a feast in her water domain to ask the wind, fire, earth, water and air to be kindred to the land the the humans in it. They agreed and chaos transformed with their assistance. Her name means long hanging hair and is a Native American Goddess. She asks that we gather our own pieces of self left in areas back into healing. The pieces that were left behind when you felt abandoned, unloved or unsupported or upset and allow these pieces to assemble back to its rightful place of honor in your body.
