Lughnasadh 2008

IVth Symphony for The Goddess

The idea for The Symphony for The Goddess developed in 1999.

After the first international Isian Conventions were held in London, excellently organized by Archpriestess Caroline Wise and her co-workers, the first international Isian Convention on the Continent was held in 2000 and organized by Tara Hedge College, a center of the Fellowship of Isis since 25 years.

The idea behind the Symphony for The Goddess was and still is to present the great variety of spirituality, focusing on The Goddess in Her many aspects.

This year we will meet for the 4th Symphony for The Goddess at the Lughnasadh weekend, 2008

Saturday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Location: Naturfreundehaus near Bielefeld, in the nature protected area of Teutoburger Forest

The main Norwich Chant Collective (NCC) meets every Wednesday evening in the Alec Bussey Scout Centre, Norwich from 7:45 - 9:45pm, although participants often linger for drinks and gossip. A suggested donation of £2 to cover the cost of room hire is asked at the end of the evening. No equipment is required, however if you wish to bring appropriate percussion this is welcomed. Wednesday gatherings are limited to over 13s only.

The women of the NCC host a regular Full Moon Rite as close to the night of the full moon as possible. The aim of this gathering is to provide an opportunity for solitary practitioners, those who are new to the path or anyone who wishes celebrate the zenith of the moons power. The rite is kept as simple as possible so that those of any path can celebrate fully. Ritual attire is not expected, however the rite is held outdoors whenever possible, so a warm jacket and a brolly may be useful! There is no cost for the outdoor rite, however in inclement weather, a small donation will be asked to cover the cost of room hire. Women usually bring a little food or drink to share at the end of the rite. The Full Moon Rite has no age restriction and mothers with boys under 7 are welcome to bring them. Further details of this can be obtained from Gee at the Wednesday evening gatherings. http://www.norwichchantcollective.org/Events.htm
