We honor the Earth as holy and living. We are striving to be part a greater solution and thus have no time or space for hate in all the various forms it is being promoted or peddled by certain people and groups.

Children and Pets
Children are welcome to all CedarLight events, but small children must be attended at all times because our center is not child proof, there are stairs, fires, candles and small items that could be swallowed. We do not yet have children activities planned for this event however that can change if we know they are coming.
Trained service animals are, of course, welcome.
Pets however, are not allowed because we have learned from past mistakes that not everyone knows how to approach an animal and not every animal will behave predictably with many strangers around. Thank you for understanding.
After the Blot
- We are all responsible for cleaning up and washing our dishes.
- We must make sure the trash is taken out.
- Please consider a donation of $10. Pagan/Heathen temples/hofs/churches do not survive on hopes and prayers. Cash and checks can be placed in the large brass bowl in the larger Grove Space. We accept PayPal donations under the email: cedarlightgrove@gmail.com.
Thank you for joining us in honoring the gods.
