Tuesday 30th September: Marking the Michaelmas Tide 7:30-9pm GMT
29th September marks the beginning of Michaelmas, named after the angel of light, the defender, protector, healer and judge of our departing souls.
English folk custom reveals this day as significant in Christmas traditions, a time of feasting, settling disputes and pilgrimages to healing places.
In our own fields, Michaelmas is a tide to gather the sweetness of the land’s offerings; nuts and berries, light and inspiration, healing and knowledge about the ever turning cycle of life. Fairy Faith, or Creideamh Sí traditions abound at this point of the year, and we discover ways to build these into our own magical works.
We will make offerings for the hidden spirits of our home and fields, from the bounty we have found within it. Enjoin with the old pulse of lore, and draw closer to the celestial spirit that reside in the land.
Materials Needed:
Red thread, local wild flowers, corn husks. Pen and paper. A candle.
