Our Circles

We are an eclectic group, drawing strength from several traditions and disciplines. Much of our power comes from our acceptance of diversity and our commitment to inclusion.

What results from our magical union are circles that alternate and/or merge several Spiritual traditions, depending on the strengths of the particular (rotating) facilitators, the season, and our moods/needs at the time. Although most of our circles follow a similar Wiccan structure — purification, welcoming the elements, welcoming the divine, raising and focusing energy, blessing and sharing “cakes” & (non-alcoholic) “wine,” and dismissing/thanking the divine & the elements — each circle is different. Circles may include fire, water, earth, or air magick, talking sticks or bowls, guided meditations, blessings, dancing, chanting, drumming etc.

Hands of Change is offering NFP classes 1, 2 and 3 in rapid succession! A one-day, all inclusive class marathon for those who need/want to take the classes that weren’t originally on the schedule this year. Take 1, 2 or all 3!

The Shaman/Magi Block classes include:

Magical Theory (Class 1) – 10am- 12p

This hands-on workshop seeks to give participants an understanding of planes of existence, personal and group energy, and elemental energies. It covers auras and personal energy, grounding and centering, working with energy and group energy. The role of elementals in circle will also be addressed.

Lunch break at 12p

Metaphysical Theory (Class 2) – 1p – 3p

This introduction to metaphysical theory will include a discussion of various types of magic and supporting theory; the affects and uses of sensory stimuli; purification, cleansing, and warding.

Myth and Symbolism (Class 3) – 3p – 5p

This class is designed to examine the role of Deity in ritual and our lives. We will consider various personal beliefs and practices of worship; integration of the self, spiritually and morally; avatars and magical names. We will discuss how to choose specific deities and spirits to work with, the reasons for invoking and evoking deity, and how to balance Deity power and personal energy.

Please preregister for any class by contacting Chiron of HOC by email: register@handsofchange.org.
Details of the class locations will be shared at that time.

2019 – Healing Mother Earth

As many of our congregants know, each year Hands of Change chooses a theme around which to plan our rituals and celebrations. Given the numerous challenges currently faced by our planet, challenges that threaten land, sea and sky – indeed, life itself – we at HOC have chosen Healing Mother Earth as the theme for 2019. As pagans, we are intimately connected to both God and Goddess as immanent in all of creation. It is time we used our energy, both magickal and mundane, to give back to our Mother and do our utmost to help heal the wounds our human species have inflicted upon her. Each month we will be presenting, on our website, some of the problems She faces, what some enlightened humans are doing to try to solve those problems, and what each of us can do to make a difference. So join us through the year as we do our best to Heal our Mother, and show her we care!
