Towards Beltane
Beltane……….the time of new beginnings. Which is true for us Pagans. Fertility and beauty are the main themes of this beautiful festival. This is one of my favourite times in the Wheel. The sunlight, the shadows being gradually, chased away. Each festival I feel the same longing and respect for, being truly Pagan is to understand the changes of each season.. I love being Pagan. To me there is no other way, and I do not go out my way to hurt those who choose a different pathway their own individual God/Goddess. This Beltane time, all I wish for is peace and a deep respect for nature. BB Jo x

Ayr Pagans February Moot
Hello to all from Ayr Pagans. This month sees the celebration of Imbolc, a time, when we feel the first stirrings of the Spring. The Goddess in her Maiden aspect, begins to bestow upon the Earth her blossoming gifts. The first bulbs are pushing through the earth, the nights grow shorter, days longer, awaiting the Sun and the warmth. A time to start feeling better about ourselves and starting to realise that the darkness no longer casts its cold and lonley shadow. Also a time to look further to the summer when all the fabulose Pagan events begin in earnest!! (a personal favourite time of mine:D)
Ayr Pagans will continue to hold monthly meets (details on the right), with the aim to providing a meeting place for genuine good and kind people. We aim to have a combination of talks, workshops and ritual celebrations, in line with the wheel of the year.
Hope you can come along if interested!!

Merry Yule to all!!
Ahhhhhh…………………Yule. One of my personal favourite festivals of the year. A mourning 0f the passing of the Sun God and a celebration of the coming light and the Sun’s rebirth. We honour The Goddess in her crone aspect, the old one, the hag. In the cold barren midst of winter, the Goddess rests and sleeps to await the first stirrings of Spring.
Ayr Pagans celebrated this special time, having a Yule meal to celebrate our friendships. It was a cosy and relaxing night. Thanks to all who came.
Ayr Pagans also celebrated Yule with a moot ritual (kindly written by one of our members), honouring this dark time. A great afternoon had by all, many thanks to those who came and a huge thanks to one of our members who hosted the event. They made us all very welcome indeed!!!!! Thankyou to those who came. Here’s to more of the same in the coming year!!!!
Have a very happy Yule and Blessed Be to all Jo xxxxx
