October is here and it's really pretty!!

October is here and the fall season brings us some fantastic gatherings and events! Please join us as we stay connected and come together to honor the Earth, Gods, Ancestors, and Wheel of the Year.

Online Feminine Spirituality discussion tomorrow!!


An up-to-date listing of events is always available at www.wyomingvalleycuups.com as well as on the Events section of our Facebook page

Hope to see you soon!
Connecting to one's own sacred feminine divinity can be channeling if we don't have a supporting environment.

Inspired but chakras work, we will start at the foundation of our spirit and work with the Root Chakra. Understand what blocks us from having a strong and solid foundation.

Last time we discussed Root Chakra healing, we begin to feel secure in our choices, can set and work towards goals, and our love and excitement for life are reignited.

This time we will discuss Sacral Chakra healing. This chakra governs your emotions, your creativity, sensitivity, sexuality, intimacy, emotional well-being, and self-expression.

Last Month's meeting notes
Join us for Magick and connection in our online Full Moon ritual! Many of us started out as solitary practitioners on our Pagan and Witch paths. To those of us introverts, it can be quite a leap to seek out other like-minded groups. Online rituals can offer the best of both worlds to those who are more comfortable casting alone. You can turn off a video feed if you are more comfortable, set up your space and connect while being led in ritual simultaneously.

In Pagan practices, the Full Moon means many things. Abundance, spirituality, peak psychic ability, fertility, a good time for Magick, The Mystery. Something about that silvery light sets the subconscious to dreaming. Things are possible by moonlight that are not in the revealing light of day. We can be more truly ourselves, casting off some of the masks we layer on in order to fit in during our daytime lives. Our truths are easier to manage in moonlight. We’re more willing to step into Mystery, to allow dreams, and to listen to what our inner voice has to say.

Come enjoy the beauty and peace of the Labyrinth by the light of the Full moon! The labyrinth will be illuminated from 730pm-9pm. Everyone is welcome. During the cooler months, we take our Labyrinth practice indoors and as the weather warms, we bring our practice outside. The first half hour will be a quieter walk, the remainder drumming, so feel free to bring hand drums and other percussion instruments of choice.

If you haven't walked a Labyrinth before, there is no ceremony or ritual. A Labyrinth Walk is safe, open Sacred Space for personal exploration. Please plan to arrive by 9:30pm to allow enough time for your walk. We also have WVCUUPS officer Emily doing Tarot and Oracle card readings.

Join members of the Wyoming Valley CUUPS community for an informal hangout and check-in.
The Witching Hour is a social time. Everyone should have their favorite beverage at the ready. There are no rules about this beverage. ALL beverages are equally welcome.

This event does not have a structure per se. You are invited to attend as your true self, in the company of other Pagans. You may wear a hat, or not. You may paint your face, or not. Do you have a new tattoo? You can show us if you'd like! Did you just get a new item for your altar that is the absolute BEST THING YOU'VE EVER SEEN? Why yes, we would love to see that. Depending on the number of attendees, breakout rooms may be employed. See you there!

Join Wyoming Valley CUUPS for an open Samhain Ritual! Samhain falls at the time of year the light noticeably fades. Pagans reflect on and review the past year and welcome the Celtic New Year. In this season, Pagans also honor death as a part of the sacred circle of life and remember those who have died.
Please feel free to bring an item or items for the Ancestral/Remembrance Altar. This year, we will have spaces for Ancestors, Beloved Friends, Ancestors of the Order (ascended masters, trailblazing witches - the Mighty Dead of Witchcraft), and Animal Companions.

There is a potluck after ritual. Please either keep ingredient list or label all offerings with the included ingredients to allow those with dietary restrictions to make healthy choices for themselves.
Traditional dress for Samhain is harvest colors or dark colors (mourning dress).
