January Full Moon Ritual
2020-01-11 17:00 - 19:00
Gather with us to celebrate the ascension of the Full Moon at the Unitarian Universalist Meeting Hall located just outside of Marquette.
Ritual will promptly start at 5:30
January’s full Wolf moon is in Cancer. Your feeling of safety is now related to your home, family and related activities such as cooking and gardening. You may be prone to emotional fluctuations; you should learn to forgive and forget in order to avoid depression from thinking too much about things. Your perception of the world can be very subjective; try to create a certain distance without being bitter. Due to your rich emotional manifestation you can create a real sense of belonging in the world.
The full Moon names come from Native American groups, Colonial Americans, or other traditional North American names passed down through generations.
The full Moon for January was called the Full Wolf Moon because wolves were more often heard at this time. It was traditionally thought that they howled due to hunger, but there is no evidence for this. However, wolves do tend to howl more often during winter months, and generally howl to define territory, locate pack members, and gather for hunting.
Other traditional names for the January Moon include: the Cold Moon, the Old Moon, and the Great Spirit Moon.
Please reach out to an admin if you need a ride or would like to carpool.
A community donation from each member is requested but not required. Please give what you can, but please don’t feel obligated to do so or do not attend if you can’t make a donation due to your financial situation. We would rather have you there than not at all. Donations will cover the cost of consumables at each event such as candles, offerings, etc. Any extra monies will go to a donation to the UU for use of their facilities and in the long term towards the UP Witches Ball.

“Hearken Now, the Darkness Comes”
a celebration of the last-harvest holiday of Samhain
(Celtic New Year or Halloween)
Presenters: February Sky (Phil Cooper & Susan Urban)
The Celtic word “Samhain” means “summer’s end.” This holiday is the beginning of Winter and the New Year, the time of giving thanks for a good harvest, and a time for letting go of what no longer serves us. It is also the time of year when the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead is said to be the thinnest, and the dead are invited back for loving remembrance. In the course of this service, we will observe all of these ancient traditions and reflect on their significance in our modern lives. Please bring a picture or other memento of a departed loved one to church to place on our Samhain alter.
