May 1: Celebrate Pentacle Quest Success

Please join us and other Wiccans, Witches, and Pagans of many paths around the world in a special day of Veteran Pentacle Quest thanksgiving, remembrance, and celebration on Tuesday, May 1.

Place offerings of flowers on your home altars, at Pagan shrines, and community ritual sites in sacred thanksgiving and celebration for this victory, and in remembrance of living and deceased Pagan veterans and their families.

CIRCLE CEMETERY RITUAL
Tuesday evening, May 1, 7 - 8:30 pm
Circle Sanctuary Nature Preserve, near Barneveld, Wisconsin

Join with Selena Fox and other members of the Circle Sanctuary community in a special Quest Success ceremony at Circle Cemetery, the national Pagan cemetery located at Circle Sanctuary's land in southwestern Wisconsin. In addition to giving thanks for the victory and honoring Pagan veterans and their families, we will be doing a special blessing where three markers with Pentacles will soon be placed at the cremains gravesites of Jerome Birnbaum of Utah, Sgt. Patrick Stewart of Nevada, and a Vietnam War era veteran from Ohio.

This event is free and open to Pagan women, men, and children, but pre-registration by phone or email is required. Bring at least three fresh flowers or flowered boughs to leave as offerings at the cemetery. After the ceremony, there will be a reception in the Circle Sanctuary Temple Room. If possible, bring some food for the snack table (such as some veggies, fruit, eggs, juice, cheese, crackers, or dip).

If you are interested in attending, contact the Circle Sanctuary office: events at circlesanctuary.org or call: (608) 924-2216 for directions and more information.
