CUUPS Beltane Ritual
CUUPS Beltane Ritual
CUUPS will celebrate Beltane, the great fire festival that honors the full blessing of the Earth in renewal. In earlier times, bonfires would blaze on the hilltops, illuminating the night sky. People would dance the Maypole, and young lovers would celebrate their tryst by jumping the broom. It is still a time of rejoicing….of celebrating the return of vibrant color, sweet scents, lush abundance and High Magick as Nature sends forth new life; and we welcome the coming warmth and ease of summer. Everything is new and lovely, everything holds promise. Everything seems possible and indeed……it is. Join us this

Not a drop-in group, we do welcome potentially new members to join us for a few sessions to see if the group is a good fit. Contact Tom Tanguay at Thisjustthis@gmail.com for more information.
