The Ardantane Board has decided that it is time for in person rituals to resume on the campus, starting with Litha on June 18.
Wear blue and yellow festive wear, if you have it.
In person rituals will resume on the campus starting with Litha on June 18. Come enjoy a formal tour of the campus or simply walk the trails and labyrinths, enjoy the Golden Hour, and reconnect with the land and the Ardantane community. Potluck at abut 7, and then it will be time for the Litha ritual at sundown!
We are asking for a good will donation from participants, half of which will be shared with a Charity Navigator- approved Ukraine relief charity.
Welcome back!
As long as Sandoval County’s Covid status stays green, we will resume in person sabbats on campus.

Join us in exploring the sacred journey that is your life. For one evening, join a caring fellowship of seekers on this quest. Gather and share tools, techniques, and paradigms that help you transform the mundane into the miraculous. How do we see the universe with starlight vision and find the center point of our being? What is the wellspring of our divinity, and how do we drink from its clear waters throughout our days? How do we live in harmony with our deepest truths and let every act be a blessing? How do we walk the Earth with the Goddess and the Old Gods? Welcome to your place in this magickal universe.
