This past June 9, the member of UUPS had the great chance to meet and perform magic under the moon. A review of the principles of magic, the quarters, will and spell casting was included in this circle. Luna gave freely of her blessings and Ganesh helped everyone accomplish their goals and magic rites. Thanks to all who attended. Till next we meet under mother moon!

Thanks to all who attend and helped at the booth at this year’s Utah Pride Festival. We had an eventful weekend which included the interfaith service, interfaith march, Sunday’s parade and free tarot readings at the booth! We had so many people wanting readings that we had to turn folks away when the gates closed. Wait time was over an hour! But we feel grateful being able to help and bring solace, validation and guidance to those seeking answers. Those of us that marched in the parade could feel the wealth of gratitude washing over us as we were cheered on and thanked for being the only Pagan representation at the parade and festival! We even had pagans from Logan join us in the middle of the march! All in all it was a success and UUPS can’t wait for next year! Check out the photos below!

May 2012 Full Moon Ritual

Each month brings the waxing full moon. At its peak, magic is performed. This months full moon circle was lead by President Muad’Dib on Saturday, May 12, 2012. President Muad’Dib took the guests through the workings and honoring of the moon. The guests then drew down the energy of the moon to cleanse several items, one of which was a new wand.

Some of the folks who attended needed additional forms of energy work. A fire was lit and energy, goals and ambitions released with the burning of paper. Afterwards, President Muad’Dib divined the future by what he saw in the ashes.

“We always feel so welcome and so uplifted at these rituals. I felt so much better afterward. I really felt I had accomplished what I set out to do this night in my magic” commented Sharon Pellum.

Once again the moon has gone and we met to channel the dark moon in our lives. A time for banishing, powerful magic, magic that grows as the moon grows full. A ceremonial fire and drum circle were used for meditation after the spellcasting. Check out the photos below
