Ceremony at Sunset (~4:30 PM)

The heart of the festival — our Community Flame Yule Ceremony, led by Barb of Panther’s Gate.

This shared ritual celebrates unity, courage, and the warmth of connection that sustains us through the darkest night.
As the sun sets, we’ll gather outdoors in a glowing circle of battery-operated candles and lanterns, each light representing the strength and hope of our community. Together, we’ll rekindle belonging, compassion, and the magick that burns brightest when shared.
“Together, we form a single flame — the heart of our community.”

Afterward, we’ll gather for hot cider, cocoa, and conversation — sharing stories, gratitude, and warmth as we close the longest night of the year.

Optional Offerings: pinecones, cinnamon sticks, ribbons, or written wishes for the community altar.
