November and Harry Potter

Posted in Pagan, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 12, 2010| Leave a Comment »

All who know the secrets of Rolling, know that Harry has finally grown up, and is fulfilling his destiny as we speak! As for the big event, UUPS is going to the premier of Harry Potter!

Currently:  We are in the process of setting up a volunteering activity for the semester.  UUPS wants to put one volunteering (at least) event each term including summer.

New Groups:  We are working with several people to form a group at SLCC, Salt Lake Community College.  If you would like to be involved, please contact the National Pagan Society, the off shoot of UUPS for this type of things exactly.    Contact: Nationalpagansociety@gmail.com and let us know! (or UUPS, either works)

Bright Blessings to all!

Pagan Awareness Week

Posted in Pagan, University, tagged , , , , , , , , on October 1, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Hi folks,

Soon under the wing of the Goddess, Hecate’s time will come, Samhain, or Halloween.  As part of the end of October, we will be doing Pagan Awareness Week the last week.  There will be an altar set up at the University of Utah.  Awareness and understanding,  especially at such a commercial time, while peoples guards on witches and pagans has been let down for all the candy they’ll get on this night, is the best time to make the true meaning of this sacred holiday known.  Here is the link to the facebook group so you all can see the events that are upcoming

As part of that week, don’t be afraid to show you’re a god and/or goddess worshiper!  We want to educate the community on the real meaning of paganism, so be proud to sport your alternative clothing or jewelry, even if its for an hour!  This is part of the goal of Pagan Awareness Week, to get the local pagan’s out of fear and out of the broom closet! I hope to see you all there!

Mabon and September Full moon ritual

Posted in esbat, moons, Pagan, wicca, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , on September 30, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Thanks to all who made the Mabon and full moon rituals a great time in Big Cottonwood Canyon! We prepared the site before and made a circle of stones. Only after we had gathered the stones, did we see the beautiful scrub oak tree hanging inside the circle to the north!

We did a ritual putting out of the fires for the coming months of darkness, sang songs and danced around the fires, all before having a delicious butternut squash soup!

Thanks to all

Fall Equinox

Posted in Pagan, Sabbat, wicca, tagged , , , , , on September 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Hi folks,

So as the fall season approaches and summer comes to glorious end, the time nears to gather the altar up and travel the woods one last time before snow falls and we are locked away among hearth and home. UUPS will be doing a fall equinox ritual in Big Cottonwood Canyon. A simple Wiccan ritual. Its the time to celebrate the aging deities.  The goddess enters her crone phase and the god approaches death.  The harvest is finished, and now is time for reflection on ones life and the meaning of death.  Please bring seasonal appropriate offerings and a food dish for afterward.  Berries, berry wine, nuts and apples are all appropriate for this time! It will start about 4 pm and end hopefully before 6pm. Please check the even details on facebook as well.  We’ll be meeting at the 711 on the corner of 6200 s and Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd. and drive up the mile to the site.

 

I hope to see you all there

Lughnasadh Ritual

Posted in Pagan, tagged , , , , , , , , on September 2, 2010| Leave a Comment »

Out in Tooele Canyon, a small group of UUPS members gathered to release pent up energies, dead goals, angers and other frustrations in a simple shamanic ritual led by our very own Laurence Miles.
Lughnasadh, one of the 8 holidays in several of the Pagan traditions and the first harvest fall holiday, was celebrated in the Shamanic path. A simple rite, A fire was lit, frustrations written on paper, a grounding moment, and then the paper was thrown in to be released to the four elements, deity and the universe. This mild sunny day allowed us to snack on the chicken, vegetables and fruit until about ten minutes after the ritual was completed, gale force winds came barreling down the canyon, accompanied shortly after by rain. We all understood this to mean that our energy had been released and was being taken up by higher causes!! Over all, everyone left feeling accomplished, more relaxed and spiritually deeper

Beltane 2010 with USUPA

Posted in druidry, Pagan, wicca, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 4, 2010| Leave a Comment »

We love traveling, especially when its to Logan to see our Pagan brothers and sisters at Utah State University.  The Pagan Alliance at USU is a bright and active group we call our sister group. UUPS has been building inter-group mingling with USUPA since April 2010.  UUPS drove up, after getting lost, on Saturday, May 1, 2010 to Logan UT. Most of UUPS members found the location in Logan Canyon and were able to attend a wonderful Celtic Reconstruction Wedding festival put on by USUPA’s own president Kassie Cressall.  A large circle of stones, a beautiful altar, music, singing, fires and more were all on the agenda this day.  After wards was a lovely feast and a large May Day Pole!  All of us were able to dance around the poll honoring the God and Goddess on their day of union.
