In the northern hemisphere, we are readying ourselves for the autumnal shift and waning daylight that comes with the equinox. Hallowmas and Yule approach soon after, and we are plunged into the darkest time of the year, a time of contemplation and honoring our ancestors. As the season begins to change, we invite you to join us for a weekend of ritual, discussion, and learning in service to the inner mystic within each of us.

On January 15, 2022 a small group of us gathered at Northlake Unitarian Church in Kirkland, WA to participate in the Ritual of the Sacred Yoke for Initiate Isaiah Dearborne. This ritual marks his emergence from behind the veil of secrecy of the Mystery School, and a readiness for the candidate to undergo Ordination in the near future.

This ritual is conducted with the participant performing all ritual actions in silence while those present read the Ritual of Lothloriën aloud, weaving a web of magick and transformation around them and supporting their transition into the public eye.

Isaiah will be sharing some of his experience with this ritual at our next Sunday Circle February 6th at 10:30am Central Time, and we welcome your participation in the discussion. RSVP here: Discussion on the Ritual of the Sacred Yoke
