Join Frederick CUUPS for an all ages feast and celebration of the Winter Solstice! Enjoy a potluck meal as the ritual unfolds around you through music, evocations of deities of the season, and stories of joy. The feast will conclude with a round of Toasting and Boasting to celebrate all that we have accomplished this year, followed by revelry and dance.This ritual is family-friendly and open to children of all ages with parental supervision. Guests are encouraged to bring an entree, dessert, side dish, or beverage to contribute to the feast. Please remember to bring a card or piece of paper with the ingredients listed out so those with food sensitivities and allergies can make healthy choices for themselves. Please sign up for the potluck here:

Optional Used Magickal Gift Exchange:
Many of us own a previously-loved but now underused magickal tool. This holiday season, Frederick CUUPS would like to invite you to participate in a Magickal Gift Exchange that helps our treasures find new owners.
To participate, bring your wrapped previously-owned magickal tool (no books please, physical items only – no services) with you to the ritual. There will be tables set up in the Atrium at the UUCF.
Please feel welcome to include a note with your gift if you’d like the next owner to know anything about the magickal tool inside the wrapping (origin, history, etc). If your magickal tool is specific to one particular Path in paganism, please label it so it goes to a fitting home (i.e. deity figurines, divinatory tools that are Path-specific.) When you depart for the night, remember to take a new gift home with you.
Come share an evening of hope, pride, and gratitude with us!
