Celebrate the Final Harvest with Weavers of the Web with a ritual to honor our ancestors of blood, spirit, and tradition. We will be at the church for this ritual, so be mindful of space and bring extra chairs for your group if you can. Bring your own chalice, and if you have pictures or tokens of your ancestors you may bring them to place on our shared ancestor altar. If you have a method of divination, feel free to bring it; a special table will be set up for folks to share readings with one another during this time when the veil is thin.

For Samhain food drive donations, Pagans In Need is requesting a focus on holiday staples for restocking the pantry. All other shelf-stable donations are also welcome.

At 4pm, our gates will open and raffle tickets will go on sale. Circle cast will be at 5pm (arrive early if you don't want to miss it!). Our main ritual will also be available by YouTube livestream and Patreon, as usual, so everybody can enjoy the ritual in whichever manner calls to them best. Everyone will have a chance to honor their ancestors in our ritual. As a friendly reminder, all observers of WISE-tradition rituals must be participants within the circle, and all are welcome.

After ritual, we will break bread together. Bring your own food for our shared feast; you may bring extra to share if you like. Iced tea and water will be available.

For the best online experience, we recommend setting up your own ritual space at home where you plan to be during the ritual. You may want candles, incense, God and Goddess representations, elemental tools, or anything else you have available for a working sacred space. This is optional, but will definitely help you get into the mood. Don't forget your Cakes and Ale, and have your own feast ready if you'd like to join in after ritual. For Samhain, you'll want to have your own chalice and water or other beverage ready for the ritual, pictures or tokens of your loved ones who have crossed over; you may also want to have a method of divination handy.

Attendance to our sabbat rituals is always free! Donations help to cover the cost of our space and materials as well as help grow our Temple fund. You can help out by bringing cash, donating via PayPal, or become a subscribing member through Patreon.

As is our tradition, we will be having a teacup raffle with donated items. If you have any items at home that are ready to bring joy to a new home, please consider bringing them to donate to the raffle. Tickets will go on sale at the beginning of the day, and the drawing will be around 7:30pm. Online attendees are welcome to participate; a video tour of the raffle table will be given after ritual, and online tickets may be purchased via Paypal donation.

Weavers of the Web is located inside the Oakland Center office building on Center Street. Enter through the big double doors at the center-front of the building.
