The Yearning Moon in January is the time in CAYA when we ask ourselves: What desires, deep within, are yearning to be fulfilled, and how might we begin to take steps toward fulfilling them?

In this ritual of yearning, we honor our yearning for knowledge, and for hope even in the face of painful facts. We welcome Pandora, whose vessel of knowledge was a considered a dangerous source of power. Knowledgeable women are dangerous women, it’s true. Join us for an intimate, personal circle in which we share knowledge with one another, make offerings to She Who Knows, and receive gifts of knowledge from Pandora herself.

Chairs will be provided. Please feel free to bring a cushion if you prefer to sit on the floor. Feel free to bring drink or food to share, or flowers for the altar.

In 2015, due to popular demand, CAYA Coven is resurrecting its Men’s and Women’s Full Moon Circles, and adding a third circle which honors gender diversity – people of any gender identity (or none) will be welcome to participate in the forthcoming Rainbow Moon Circle as well.
