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.

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!
