Join us in lighting our hearths for this January full moon. Pisces deputy Liz Graham will lead attendees in a short workshop in candle magic and guided spell work with the focus of lighting our hearths to act as beacons for blessings in the new year.

Please have with you an unburned candle of your choice - preferably a free-standing one without a jar, along with herbs/oils/candle dressings of your choice, a scribe or carving tool for your candle (a pin or pencil work in a pinch), and a candle-holder or flame-safe plate.

We will be dressing our candles together so there is no need to do so prior to the ritual, just gather your items and make sure you have space to work undisturbed.

One of the most beloved goddesses from the Irish pantheon is Brigid. She was so beloved that the church needed to make her a Saint – or so the legend goes. She could forge a blade as easily as any smith, she could write and recite poetry full of wisdom and inspiration as well as any Bard and she had the power to heal. There are many sacred wells all over Ireland and many are dedicated to Brigid.

In this ritual, part of the Virgo Ministry's healing deities series, we will learn about the Irish Goddess and Saint Brigid and we will go to her healing waters to cleanse and make us whole. Join Dawn Marie Costorf as we journey to meet this beloved Goddess, learn her story from the Lore, and meet Brigid at her sacred well.

All registered will receive a recording of the class. Class fee: $20.00. Register online at: https://conta.cc/3WAjdJK
