January Traditions That Connect Us

The 2016 continuing theme for White Oak Grove CUUPs (Covenant of Universal Unitarian Pagans) is “Traditions That Connect Us.” Month by month we explore different pagan traditions, how they can relate to each other, and the modern cultural aspects derived from them.  Join us next Sunday (1/3/16) to explore January Traditions, 1PM at Rockford Unitarian Universalist Church.

These are some of the things that happen in January.

– Janus – Capricorn – Birch – 12th Night – Garnet –

La Befana – Wolf Moon – Cold Moon – New Year – Burns Night

Yuletide Season 2015

Yule-2015

Thanks so much to everyone who showed up at the 2015 White Oak Grove CUUPs Potluck & Party!  It was wonderful to see so many people turn out and enjoy a wonderful afternoon of great company. The food was fabulous, and you all really knocked it out of the park on the mystery gift exchange.

Are you ready for some ritual?  Join us again on Sunday December 20th, 2015 for a joint celebration with the Sinnissippi Tuath (an ADF Protogrove). Gather at 6PM in Rockford UU for food and fellowship, with a Heathen style Yule ritual lead by Cara Freyasdaughter.

Head on over to the Facebook events page and RSVP!
