First Polestari of Marion

A Primali Pagan church based in northeast Arkansas
We can also be found on Discord! You don't have to dedicate to celebrate - we're all sacred selves here.

Primali is a neo-pagan path focused on the idea of the primal Forces and their constant effects on humankind. The Forces have always been, since the beginning of our Universe, and humankind has always viewed these Forces through their own lens, designing faces that the Forces then brought life to. Being aware of our base natures in the modern world, according to this path, is the key to bringing u

nderstanding, coexistence, and peace. Primali teaches that if we are made up of the world around us, and that world is made up of the same things that exist in the Universe, then we are simply part of the Universe exploring itself, made up of the Forces in us.

In Primali, eight Forces are celebrated. Each has a corresponding rune and holiday celebrated throughout the year with Rites. A place of fellowship and Rites is called a Polestari, which is opened for the Rite and then closed afterward. Primali teaches that no place and no day are particularly sacred, as it is all part of the Forces, but that special days and special places are designated by us, and that this is okay. Feel free to track down anyone who is a Bearer of the Ring if you have any questions about Primali or joining us for a Rite! Ha-a-i-a! The First Polestari of Marion is a 501c3 registered non-profit organization and church.

Friends and community,

You are warmly invited to join us for our Kheltiamas celebration, a gathering of shared light, fellowship, and renewal as we move through the heart of the season. 🕯️✨

This celebration will take place as a community potluck, and we would be honored to share a place at the table with those who feel called to attend. Because our venue has limited space, we are asking all guests to RSVP in advance. Once your RSVP is received, you will be directed to our Potluck Sign-Up, which also includes the location and arrival details. The RSVP form will automatically close when we reach the capacity our space can comfortably hold.

🌿 Event Schedule
🔓 Doors open: 12:00 PM
🕯️ Kheltiamas Rite begins: 2:00 PM
🍽️ Feasting and gift-giving to follow

🌿 RSVP here: https://form.jotform.com/253195501467156

For those who are not able to attend in person, we will be streaming the Rite in our Discord server so that all who wish to share in the spirit of Kheltiamas may do so. To support a safe and nurturing environment for everyone, we have a simple vetting process for those joining our server. We kindly ask that anyone wishing to access the livestream join the server no later than the day before the event so there is time to be welcomed and approved.

Whether you are a long-time friend of the Polestari or joining us for the first time, we are grateful for your presence, your goodwill, and the light you carry. May this season offer warmth to the weary, rest to the burdened, and joy to every open heart.

With love and tenderness,
The First Polestari of Marion

Help request from Kathy Pickering for Polestari & Kithaka Dun storage needs:

Kit, Brian, and I are at Lowe's getting supplies for the base of the storage shed as I'm typing. They will be delivered to my house on Friday Aug 22. We need all available bodies to help build the base and shed. If we can get the shed built on Saturday, Aug 23 or at least mostly done, then we can load the shed from the storage unit on Sunday, Aug 24. Our deadline to be out of the storage unit is the end of Aug.
