SLPS Takes on New Direction

After some recent events at Midsummer 2014, SLPS took a brief hiatus to reconsider its direction. SLPS will now solely be a coven using the New American Tradition at all rituals. New members will undergo an application process and will now come in as candidates under the new Tradition on the path to initiation.

This new application process is intended for those who are serious about magical study and who would like to master nature spirituality and magic in a small but supportive community. The application will be required to answer questions about their intent, experience, and understanding of the Mysteries. An interview by the Officers after the written form is complete will also take place leading to a final review for membership.

Those interested may find the application here

A few of the core members gathered to honor Lugh on Saturday, August 2, 2014. This year’s Lughnasadh was small in comparison, due to schedules and other circumstances, regardless, Lugh was satisfied and happy to be honored and remembered with penis break and sausage gravy as the main offerings.

Lughnasadh is the traditional time for offering the first bread of the harvest, in which this year’s form they were penis bread. The foundations of the Sun and Moon temple were restored and the Angels welcomed back. A simple druid ceremony brought all the parts together before the close. The feast included grilled bratwursts in honor of Lugh, spinach salad and funeral potatoes.
