<div>Well, long after the glory days I arrive in this tiny neck in the woods. Somehow it seems familiar. Hugs to all the local kami, and other more mundane dwellers here. <br/>-A</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>When the weather gets to be too chilly to be outside at the lengths we tend to be in circle... <br/>I'm going to be hosting a few pagan movie nights... beginning sometime (Saturday nights) in November. <br/> <br/>TENTATIVE MOVIE LIST: <br/> <br/>The Wicker Man (original) <br/>Lucinda's Spell <br/>Spirited Away (anime) <br/>Princess Mononoke (anime: wolves!) <br/>Wolves (documentary) <br/>The Craft <br/>Satanis (documentary on Anton LeVey &amp; the Church of Satan) <br/>The Occult Experience (vhs) <br/>Herb Magic (Scott Cunningham, vhs) <br/>The 13th Warrior (Norse related fantasy) <br/>The Rites of Magick (Hermetic Yoga, Pathworking, Alchemical fantasy, <br/>etc. Poke Runyon) <br/>The Call of Cthulhu (H.P.

<div>Anyone here actually interested in participating in a real live circle? Friday evenings in or around New Paltz, NY?</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>Let us get to know new people and perhaps learn more about old friends by doing one of our member's favorite activities, show and tell. Bring objects and / or stories that you hold dear or sacred; objects and / or stories that transport you to other states of consciousness; stories that in the telling show who you are. We will place our objects on an altar (don’t touch other’s stuff unless invited to!) and tell our stories and learn with whom we are in circle. <br/> <br/>Reply if you intended to come and for more info (i.e. location, etc.)!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Please join Circle Forming for a Lammas Potluck Picnic and Welcome Circle on Sunday, August 6th at 12 noon at Onteora Lake State Park. <br/> <br/>Directions to Onteora Lake State Park: <br/>Take Route 28 North out of the traffic circle in Kingston <br/>Go 4 miles. It's the first turn on the right, less than a mile, up the hill and around a curve from THE DOLL HOUSE. Look for a brown wooden sign with yellow lettering. <br/> <br/>The potluck picnic will begin at noon, the circle, for those who want to stay, will begin promptly at 1:30. Please plan to attend both events so we can get to know each other before the circle. Please understand that for magical reasons we will not admit anyone to the circle once it has begun. <br/> <br/>Feel free to bring other people who are seriously interested in participating in a pagan circle. Please do not bring people who want to be spectators, children, or pets. <br/> <br/>Please bring a potluck dish to share with about 10 people. Something related to the holiday, such as seasonal produce or fresh bread is nice, but by no means necessary. Bring what you want to eat! Also bring the usual things to make yourself comfortable at a picnic, such as a blanket to sit on. There is a lake, so if you like to swim, bring the things appropriate to that activity. (There isn’t anywhere to change your clothes except a porta-potty.) As far as ritual garments go, what you have on is good. As far as ritual tools go, bring what you like or nothing at all. <br/> <br/>We will send you an outline of the ritual before hand, so you have a clue what is going to happen, the better to have the circle run smoothly. <br/> <br/>If you have any questions, email either myself at rheaturtle@yahoo.com or one of the other members of Circle Forming. You can find their email addresses in the cc line of this email. Please RSVP by way of the events list. <br/> <br/> <br/>Blessed be, <br/>Rhea</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>CIRCLE FORMING! <br/>Eclectic Creative Rituals <br/>for CELEBRATION &amp; HEALING <br/> <br/>Circle Forming is an open, eclectic pagan circle with heavy leaning toward Wiccan and Shamanic practices &amp; perspectives. <br/> <br/>We are looking for playmates, fellow seekers, occasional guests, members, and friends. <br/> <br/>Currently we are a diverse collective ranging in ages from 20s to 50s. Some of us are into Norse deities, some into Greek, some into Egyptian, and still others aren't entirely sure there are such things as gods. We are photographers, poets, and artists. We are also also human service workers, tradespeople, teachers, students, retirees, and professionals. <br/> <br/>Circle Forming has no formal hierarchy and we take turns planning and leading each circle. Decisions by Consensus. Open Attendence policy: come as often or as seldom as available.

<div>Several people have asked for more information about Circle Forming. We meet every Friday evening in the area around New Paltz. People come to as many circles as often as they want to. No one has to come at any particular time. <br/> <br/>We are more or less Wiccan. We usually follow some semblance of the Wiccan form opening a circle, calling elements, and deities. One practice unique to Circle Forming; instead of calling one God and one Goddess, we each call a deity, spirit, or ancestor. It gives each participant a voice and the ear. <br/> <br/>What we do is mostly celebratory. We celebrate the 8 Sabbats. We did a ritual for the katydids last summer. We also do some healing work and divination. We do some trance work and I, for one, want to do a lot more of that. We have talked about doing things like job finding spells, but somehow that has never happened. We haven’t done much worship per se, but that may be shifting soon. We are Circle Forming – we are always forming, always moving, always playing and growing. <br/> <br/>We are a no obligation circle. We meet with people and chat. If it seems like a good fit, we circle together. If the individual wants to do it again, she or he returns as many times as suits. <br/> <br/>A little over a year ago we started out with a group of 3, all of whom are still around. We have had a couple of people come to meet us and leave without circling, a couple circle with us only once, a few who show up when they can, and one person stick around and become our 4th core member. Right now, several people have expressed the desire for more information and we are pretty excited about the idea of growing. Our minimal goal is to have at least 5 people in circle every week, even when some of us can’t make it. If you are still interested, the best thing to do is come meet us.</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Hello, <br/> <br/>I'm interested in attending a Frolic for the first time, after years of dancing wildly in clubs. <br/> <br/>I'm living in Woodstock, NY, and I think it's about a 35 minute drive to New Paltz (I think that's where the Frolics are held). I might be able to drive, but would prefer to carpool. Is anybody else driving my direction? I'm thinking specifically about the next Frolic, which I think is July 8. <br/> <br/>Thanks! <br/>Bram</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 2 replies </div>

<div>We are growing and I' m delighted! We are trying new things and I think it's great. Some things we will try will be better than others, but that's part of learning what we like best. <br/> <br/>I'm so happy to circle with you all!</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://Mid-HudsonCircle.tribe.net">Mid-Hudson Circle</a> - 0 replies </div>
