We are staring down the barrel of back-to-back Friday the 13ths (February and March). It seems the calendar is trying to test us.
​Before you go out and enjoy all that chaotic potential, you need to know the Rules of Engagement. Dani will be live this Friday breaking down Ritual Mechanics—the "SOPs" of the craft.
​Come learn the difference between a Wiccan Circle and a Norse Blót so you don't accidentally summon something you can't banish. 😉
​Tune in: Friday @ 1800 in the group or show up in person at Riva Ridge chapel

Join us tonight as we cover the purpose, setup, and maintenance of altars. For those unable to attend in person, I will be streaming the class exclusively to our Facebook Group.
Tonight at 1800

If you have not yet joined the Facebook Group, please do so immediately. We are shutting down this Page next Friday, and all future content, updates, and livestreams will be moved to the Group.

Hey everyone!
We are getting geared up for our upcoming class on altars and tools, and I want to make sure we cover exactly what you need. Does anyone have specific questions about setting up an altar, the history behind certain tools, or how to use them? Drop your questions below so we can discuss them in class.
Also, let’s get a thread going, post a picture of your current altar setup or your absolute favorite tool in the comments! I’d love to see the variety of styles and tools everyone is working with.
Let’s see what you’ve got!

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Please ensure you have joined our Black River Open Circle Group! We are officially moving our community discussions and updates away from this Page to the Group format to foster better communication. See you there!

Join us for our next class, "The Altar & The Tools," taught by Kurt. We often view the altar as a functional workbench, a place to "fix" or adjust energy, but it is also a sacred space to honor the deities and connect with the divine. Whether you have a full setup with statues of the God and Goddess or just a cleared corner of your desk, remember: It is the intent, not the tool, that matters most.

Greetings, everyone. You may have noticed we briefly went dark. We are happy to report that we are back up and running.

However, big changes are on the horizon. To better protect our community's privacy and ensure a safe, secure environment for our service members and families, we are beginning a transition.

Over the coming days, you will see this page evolve into the Black River Open Circle. We will soon be launching a dedicated Private Group to serve as our true "virtual circle"—a place for vetted discussion, event planning, and fellowship away from the public eye.

For now, you don't need to do anything but stay tuned. We will post the invitation link to the new Private Group as soon as it is ready.

Thank you for your patience as we make this shift. Watch this space!
