Workshops

Join us to explore the goddesses of the stars, and those with stellar aspects, travelling magically back to a time of no light pollution, and their myths could be seen to play out in the night sky. The asterisms herald the coming of the dark, the loss of the sun, and the dramatic return of the light at the solstice.
 

We’ll be looking at the connection between the solstice sun, the stars, and the deer goddess from Siberia to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia; The star goddesses in the myths of Wales, reflected on the landscape, and those of Egypt and the Middle East; the Pleiades, sister-nymphs of the seven stars, and the winter constellations as seen in the UK and Ireland and their relationship to sacred place and goddess. And we shall explore the star at Christmastide and the traditional of the Yule fairy of the World Tree.
 

The day includes talks, discussion, crafting, visualisations, and a Winter Star Rite ceremony. Light refreshments and materials are included, and you are welcome to bring a packed lunch and to join us for a drink afterwards.
