On Monday 12th September at a location as yet undecided (updates at a later point) one of our Moot will be leading a full moon ritual, open to all to attend.
The gentleman in question practices in the Dianic tradition and will be performing a ritual in keeping with these beliefs and practices, so keep the date free and let us know of your interest if you want to attend.

Hi folks Just to clarify the path I follow is based on the Old religion of 14thCentuary Italy {sometimes called Strega } and acknowledges one supreme Triple Goddess who guides by the Moon and was {arguably} the forerunner and inspiration for modern Wicca. The works of Charles Godfrey Leland, my own personal research and a hereditary Strega friend have guided me on a somewhat secretive dogmatic path but sympathetic and open to all other viewpoints. The followers of Diana {aka ~ Artemis, Hecate, Selene etc} at that time comprised of various Tribes, Clans, Covens and solitaries who {as well as their own individual Treguenda} occasionally all gathered together at a full moon to, feast, tell tales and celebrate the gifts and support that the worship of the Goddess gave to the oppressed downtrodden. Due to the secrecy and differences between them a simple inoffensive fairly silent ritual was held followed by each in turn telling a story of the good things bestowed on them by the goddess since the last meeting followed by a communal feast {all would bring what food and wine they could manage} Nothing was asked for from the goddess or from other members ~ the gathering was simply one of celebration of life and the creation of bonds between likeminded souls. Our ritual will emulate this and details will be posted near the date. Bless, Raymond

You can find the ritual at
thethirteenthmoon.co.uk
The original that this is adapted from took place several times between 1784 and 1800 near Milan, Italy according to the Book of Shadows of a hereditary Strega.
Two major alterations are
The original was Sky-clad Two rather long rhyming incantations {one to the feast one to Diana} have been omitted at the request of my source.
I understand the date has been rescheduled to the 13th of September to coincide with a normal Moot gathering
Details of the date, time and location can be obtained from Scruffy Brooky
For info regarding the symbolism etc please PM me Bless, Raymond
