Cerren Ered

Directions

Cerren Ered Cerren Ered has been a center of Occult Studies and Paganism for over 40 years. and we were not the first to arrive. hear the sounds of the brook..

Cerren Ered was originally founded in 1981 as the homeland and Coven-stead of The Children of the Dawn, a Wiccan Mystical group initiated in the late 60's. Soon after coming to the valley it became apparent that we had been led to a far more amazing place than we could possibly
have anticipated.. Shrouded in its deep woods lay a Portal, a Well of Seeing, a Well of Vision, a Gateway to worlds unimaginable! The Portal attracted to itself
denizens from both sides of the Veil.. and we soon discovered ourselves to be the Gatekeepers.. Throughout the early years we functioned as the Initiates who guarded and tended the Shrine. We soothed the Dragons with our songs and chants and sought to keep them pacified. We opened
the gates and beckoned to others of like mind and heart to join us in celebration and Magick. Our whole focus was the Magick of the sacred space, and its mystery nurtured the seeds that were planted.. Over the years things have evolved and changed as things do.. The deep woods thinned, the population grew, buildings and lights crowded out the deep darkness and solitude.. Drumming and dancing became the new Voice of the People of the Valley. Things have changed
ever so much since those early days.. But under it all, in the bones of the earth, the Magick still remains. My message to the future ones is to sit peacefully in the Glade, eyes closed.. the speech of the birds.. listen to the Voice of the mountains. Sing a song of reverence and harmony and feel the Magical Waves pouring forth, and you will glimpse a bit of what was there waiting those many years ago. Bright Blessings, Sior

Blessed Mabon, Autumnal Equinox.. It is he middle of Autumn and the Balance of Darkness and Light as The Wheel moves toward the Winter Solstice. It is The Festival of Second Harvest, The Fullness of the Time of the Reaper, The Fruit Harvest, and The Wine Opening. It is the Thanksgiving in the midst of the Work. The Bargain. The Sacrifice of the Bright God of Growing Things. The Holy Days of the Gods of the Vine. The Weeping as the Goddess Descends. Life and Death in Balance. This holyday marks the half-way point between the day of GREATEST LIGHT and the night of GREATEST DARKNESS...

A Blessed and Balanced Mabon to you, each and every one. May your Second Harvest be Bountiful. May you feel the movement of The Reaper, but not Her touch. May you find your fruit ripe upon the vine and have time to enjoy it. May you know the blessings of Lord of the Vine, but not His curses. May you hear the warnings of the winds, but not fear the coming cold. May you find understanding in Deity’s journey to the Otherworld. May you know the blessings of love and have the patience for its return. May both your table and your stores but full. May Dark and Light, Life and Death, Bounty and Want, Loss and Love, Blessing and Sacrifice, all things be in balance for you.

Continue to gather your harvest, find time to watch the sunset, hold a loved one close, can some vegetables, make some jam, eat some grapes, rake some leaves, donate to a food bank, learn or tell the stories of your parents, enjoy a bottle of wine, prepare for Winter, lift your arms in an autumn breeze, take inventory of what you have and what you need, weep or laugh as called for, go to a harvest fair, press leaves in a book, and above all else, try to find a point of Balance, a place within yourself to live from as Winter and the Dark approach.

Lughnasadh has begun. It occurs at the midpoint between the Aestival Solstice and the Autumnal Equinox. This is the Last Day of Summer and the First Day of Fall. The beginning of The Time of the Reaper, the Festival of Lugh, the God of Manifold Skills and the Feast of his Fallen Mother, Tailtiu. The Holy Day of Grain Mothers and the Blessing of the Ovens. The First Harvest, The Grain Reaping, The Bread Fair. Feast of Bull and Berry. The Season of Abundance and Sacrifice.

A Blessed and Bright Lughnasadh to you, each and every one. May your harvests be bountiful and abundance fill your life. May the Reaper pass you by or at least treat you gently. May you discover your talents and refine your skills. May you have the sweetness of berries and the sustenance of grain. May your spear find its mark and your aim never fail you. May you find your way through danger or trick your way out of it when you when there is no clear path. May your story reach the hearts of those who can share in it.

Gather your harvest, enjoy an afternoon outside, play a game with friends, test your skills, dry some herbs, hone your talents, pick some berries, grill some beef, contemplate a chess board, shuck some corn, bake a loaf of bread, volunteer at a food pantry, have a bowl of oats, fill out an organ donor card, clear a new field or garden bed, begin reaching out to your past for communion with your Ancestors, teach something or learn something new, light a fire, and above all else, spend some time meditating on the Abundance in Your Life and what was Sacrificed to achieve it.

Blessed Be The Reaper and Blessed Be the Sacrifice which Sustains Life…

Our Wheel turns now to Litha. It is the season of the Shortest Nights that give way to the Longest Days. It is the Triumph of the Light and the Rebirth of Darkness. The eruption of Midsummer, the pouring forth of all of the fertile energy into the Time of Growth..! We acknowledge that energy and call it into our lives, our lands, and all that we hold dear; so that Our World may be full of all the gifts that come from the Union of Deity and Self, Earth and Sky, Sun and Soil, Root and Rain, Hand and Heart..!
May you find growth in all that you seek, may the Sun shine down upon you gently. May your life be rich with golden light. May the hands of your loved ones be united by the Sacred Fires. May the Ferns bloom in your favor and the Fae play on your side. May you find safe waters to swim in and take joy in being splashed. May your arrows fly true and even the storms bring you peace. May you find a bit of mischief.
Take some time to absorb the Light to carry you through the Wheel of the Year. Tend your garden, eat an orange or some cherries, visit the ocean, gather your herbs, grill some fresh vegetables, wash in the dew, bake a cake, sunbathe, make paper boats to carry your prayers in flowing waters, gather summer's flowers, swim, notice the shadows as the sun travels across the sky, dance around a bonfire, have water fights, and above all else spend some of the day outside in the sunlight.
Praise the Light, For Darkness is born today... Praise the Sky and Earth that we may flourish. A Bright Litha to you, one and all..

Our Wheel continues to turn and brings us to BELTANE.!

Merry Festival of Third Flower, the last of the three fertility festivals. The Day of Rebirth and Renewal. The Sacred Fire Festival. We move from the Time of Balance in to the Time of Union, Blessed be the coming together of the Forces of Universe, Opposite and Complementary. The Time of Planting becomes the Time of Germination and Growth. It is the time of the Young Horned God and the Maiden Huntress, The Goddess of the Fields and the Lord of the Sun. Winter is gone, Spring has peaked, and now Summer begins.

May Beltane find your seeds well planted. May you know love. May the Union of the Earth and Sky fill you with energy for your own renewal. May you feel the power welling up from the Earth and down from the Sun, creating life. May your livestock and livelihood be protected. May the morning dew wash away anything that would harm you and may it keep beauty in your world. May the flames of the coming Summer fill you with the creativity you desire. May the Faerie treat you kindly. May the growing Sun bless you.

Take time to bring in the May. Bless the soil which you wish to be fecund for the coming year... Smell the first blooms of summer... Eat some strawberries. Break an oatcake. Imagine the Balefires burning away that which holds you back and give yourself permission to be a little crazy for a few days. Notice the greening of the Earth… Leap over the fire and take the flame inside you. Tell stories of those loves lost and of their rebirth. Tie a ribbon, seashell, or note as a wish on a tree limb or bush branch. Wash your face in the dew. Crown yourself in flowers. Find a symbol of death and remove it from your life. Do something decadent to show the world or at least yourself, you made it through. Give a gift to the Fae. Consider the love that CREATES the world around you. Celebrate LIFE.!

Wrap your ribbons around the pole whose energy you wish to see in your life and hold on tight because Summer is a comin' in.....
