In years past, when we were an open and public Temple, we held introduction classes before the start of a new class. The interested public was invited to come and sit and learn about who we are and how we do things.

On Saturday, April 29th from 6pm to 9pm, we return to our roots. If you're interested in joining our Wicca group and classes, or are curious about who we are and how we operate, you are welcome to join us.

Subjects we will cover:

The history of Inner Circle Sanctuary
How ICS has evolved over the years
What is Wicca
What we teach
The magical name
The magical tools needed to start classes
Our textbooks
How to become a member/student
What we offer as a group
What we expect from a member/student
What to expect if you are acccepted as a member/student

And as an added bonus, we will demonstrate our basic ritual ring.

Imbolg Sabbat 2017

2/18/2017

Imbolg 2017
Inner Circle Sanctuary

High Priestess - Lady Isaadora
High Priest - Lord Tanys

Maiden - Lady Diamondsage
Summoner - Lord Nashoba

We, as American witches and Wiccans, while thoroughly moved by the rituals we perform or are performed by our brethren, are never more impressed when someone gets to 'Draw Down the Sun' or declaim 'The Charge' with a foreign accent. And while a British accent, that of our Wiccan fore-mothers and forefathers, is no doubt pretty impressive, there is nothing, NOTHING like hearing Drawing Down the Sun when performed by a thickly accented, Puerto Rican High Priestess. Every. Single. Attendee. Had. Goosebumps.

The night was definitely warmer than it was at Yule. Someone had remarked last sabbat that the only blessing about doing their sabbat outdoors at Yule would be that there would be no bugs. LOL. The bugs must have been out during the dusk hour approaching ritual because we were visited by a few low sweeping bats. Yep... spring would soon be on its way.

While setting up the ring and center fire a few of the students decorated the wood pile with the corn dollies from the previous year that wouldn't fit into the fire pit. We make new corn dollies every year and burn the old ones at Imbolg. While sorting through the photos and after binge watching the Walking Dead as I am wont to do, I created the Wicker Man Corn Dolly Carnage picture.

Lady Diamondsage's besom was a gorgeous beast, an appearance of "I'm a little teapot" delighted us, and one brand new member said taking part in the ritual was like being in a movie. I sure do hope it wasn't one of those creepy, horror movies where the witches win in the end (The Wicker Man, Spellbinder.... who am I kidding. Yes I do. We win!)
