April Group Cancelled
With regrets and apologies I need to cancel the meeting for tonight. I passed my Covid test but still feel like I have it. I’ll bring Kali back next month in May. Thank you for understanding.

Please visit the Dark Moon Group Page for more information about the group. We have been talking about goddesses that some consider “dark” and then having a ritual to call upon her and honor her.
This month we will meet Kali.
It was brought to my attention that while the Hindu goddess Kali can be quite scary, bringing with her the dance of death and destruction, it often takes this level of change to make something new happen. Here it is spring and that sounds happy and colorful. Why Kali? Because the seeds you plant will soon die. There will be no seed left after it breaks open and sends it’s life force up to find the sun in the form of a small shoot. Our lives can be like that – we need to break open to start a new life.
No one wants the darkness, the death (even just metaphorical) or the destruction in our lives. We want the spring green and summer flowers. We want happy bees and fragrant boquets. But Kali is here to remind you that you must often face some kind of death and destruction if you want a new life or to accomplish a big goal. She is here to remind you that part of the dance of life is being willing to let go of what is past, of what is dead, of what does not serve your new goals. She is with you when you find yourself sitting in ashes or when you have been visited calamity, waiting to offer you a way forward.
Kali wants to meet you. She wants to hear your hopes and dreams. And she wants to know what you are willing to do to get there, to reach your goals. She is here to take your hand and encourage you to face the darkness she brings in order to find the dawn of your dreams. She wants to teach you the dance of the death that brings life.
Meet at River Hall at 7:00pm for talking and hanging out and playing with the cauldron of candles. The evening’s activities will begin around 7:30. Come late if you need to. Let Chel know if you could use 5 minutes extra and we will wait for you. Please park on Swallow and follow the sidewalk to the far side of the garage and enter through the yellow door.
Dark Moon group is open to anyone interested in attending even if this will be the first Covenant of the River event that you have attended.
