Pagan Lion - Open Rituals

The Pagan Lion hosts "Open" Rituals through out the year at the major pagan holidays. Normally an "Open" Ritual is conducted at these events. The rituals are normally of a very simple nature and designed to introduce new comers to various traditions within the Pagan way. Largely these rituals are led by active members or friends of the Pagan Lion Group. If you wish to volunteer to run one of these rituals for the Lion, then feel free to get in touch and we'll book you in -  if you need any help, don't be afraid to ask!  At least 40% of a successful event comes from the enthusiasm of the person running them!

Normally these rituals are in an Open public place & all are welcome. However, on occasion a ritual is held at the house of a member of the group. Obviously, in this kind of situation numbers have to be limited & the "Open" ritual upon these occasions obviously has to be  - invitation only!

Open Rituals - Kindly Organised by Pagans from Equinox

Equinox has a great community of Pagan, Pagan Friendly & Non Pagan people associated with it.  The Pagan regulars at the shop are kind enough to offer to run Open Rituals in Southend when the Pagan Lion is holding it's rituals out of town! 

These ritual will not be on the same day as the Pagan Lion's rituals. The Pagans from Equinox have made it clear though that they ARE NOT setting up an alternate group to the Pagan Lion - their open ritual activities are an another option & location to those run by the Lion.  They DO NOT intend these to replace that which the Lion puts on - they are intended to compliment & enhance!

Planned Open Rituals for your Diary
<More details on next years open rituals to follow as soon as we settle on the dates>
  Mabon, Autumn Equinox Open Ritual - At 05:30 am on Sunday the 20th of September, I'll be on the beach at Chalkwell planning to hold a dawn (that's 06:00 am sharp) ritual - come rain or snow!  Only if the wind is howling like mad and the sand is whipping up will I cancel (as it's tough running ritual when you can't talk).  I suspect that we won't be down there for ages, but if you want to attend, you're more than welcome - bring something warming to drink (chances are you'll need it) an open mind and a happy heart! There's a very nice poster for this ritual that Tiggy has been kind enough to create click here to have a look at it.
  Samhain Open Ritual - Saturday 31st October 2009 watch this space for further details. Denny has once again offered to open her house to the Lion & I'll be conducting the Samhain ritual for who ever can make it. See Denny at any of our 4th Tuesday Moots for further details!
