Autumn Equinox Ritual and Eleusinian Mysteries Study Group
“Perfect knowledge is at once possession and being. You are what you know.”
Jocelyn Godwin, Ancient Mysteries Sourcebook.
The story of the goddess Demeter and the loss/return of her daughter Persephone is a seasonal metaphor but also so much more. Having studied the mysteries since 1995 and created numerous rituals – both small and large – in honor of them, I am pleased that there is renewed interest in pursuing this path of knowledge.
We will be meeting on Friday, September 23, 2011 at 7-9 pm to celebrate the autumnal equinox and form the study group.
Please note that there is no charge for the ritual or study group & we will only gather donations for space rental of future events. Thanks to the kind donation of space by Felicia Pallazolla, we are able to meet at Spring Tides in Allison Park for this initial gathering.

Rites of Eleusis Workshop at Grove of Gaia Fest
Enlivening an Ancient Pagan Religion
I will be presenting a brief overview of the ancient mystery cult of the Eleusinian Mysteries, which I have been practicing since 1995. Starting with the well-known story of Demeter's loss of her beloved daughter to Hades, we learn that is is much more than a seasonal metaphor. Thanks to 2000 years of continuous practice and the broken vows of many converted christians, we have a wealth of material to utilize when adapting this tradition to contemporary religious practice.
The Grove of Gaia Fest will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at the North Hills Unitarian Universalist Church of Pittsburgh. Further information can be obtained at Grove of Gaia's website at groveofgaia.moonfruit.com
Oh...and I will also be offering individual Tarot consultations during the event!
