Elder Ritual
Calling all Crones and Sages, join us in a ritual in which we embrace our older selves. This ritual is design
to allow us to embrace this time of our lives and present ourselves to the community. We would love for
those not yet in their elder years to bear witness to those are and encourage them to share their
wisdom with us all.
When it’s time to cross the veil, no one gets out alive.
One day we will all cross the veil to the other side. In this class we will discuss things we should try to
have in place before this happens, things like: what paperwork should be in place, what is an end-of-life
Doula and how can they help, what should I do with my magical items or books, is there a ritual I want
to have done when I cross over, who can I trust to look over my affairs, etc.? We will also discuss ideas
of what may be on the other side. Let us not be afraid of what needs to be done and what may be
waiting for us on the other side.
