Inis Ull Apple Isle Grove invited you to join us for the Winter Solstice with our Saturnalia celebration.

Honoring the good god Saturn who represents time and change, we will have a fun filled ritual inspired by the ancient rites.

This time there will be no prearranged assignments for the ritual. We will give out ritual rolls by the roll of the dice (all are encouraged to participate but no one is forced). So no matter how much experience you have, we will all be equal and we’ll help each other through the ritual.

In the wake of three devastating hurricanes (in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico) and with the Farmers Almanac warning of an especially cold and snowy winter, we turn are attention again to the Celtic Goddess,  Calleach.  Also known in the Scottish tradition as Beira, Queen of Winter, she is an elemental force of nature connected to whirl pools, storms and winter weather.

For Autumn Equinox, we will invite the great Norse god of the Vanir, Freyr, to join us. One of Freyr’s attributes is that wherever he is present, there will also be peace and a cessation of strife. We will therefore ask him to bring peace into our lives.

We will be celebrating the Summer Solstice with the Fairies as our beings of occasion. Inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, we'll be calling on Puck (Robin Goodfellow) to be our gatekeeper and guide in order to commune with the Fey.

One of the messages in the omen we received on Beltane was to be more playful, so here we go.

Inis Ull invites you to join our Spring Rite.  This is the time of the year
when the day and night are equal lengths.  The sun is getting stronger,
and soon life will be restored to the land as we move towards the new
harvest, new growth and the summer.

Three of the last four rituals have been focused on honoring the divine feminine.

Now we will be honoring the divine masculine.  We hope that this kind of work will
restore balance to the feminine and masculine energies in ourself, our
grove, and in the world.

Inis Ull Apple Isle Grove of ADF invites you to join us for our Imbolg Celebration working with the healing aspect of the Irish Celtic Goddess Brigid.
