FULL MOON GATHERINGS IN ADELAIDE


Once in the month,
and better it be when the Moon is full ...

The Temple of the Dark Moon commenced hosting Full Moon gatherings in the Adelaide area. The first such Gathering took place on 6 March 2004 at Grange Beach with 12 people braving the wind and the cooling temperatures to attend - including one interstate visitor. An account of the first Gathering can be read about.

Regardless of whether you are new to Paganism and the Craft, are curious as to what exactly Pagans do, or have been follower of the Old Ways for a number of years, the aim of these Gatherings is to create a friendly environment to meet like minded people, share knowledge, and generally for all participants to have a good time.

All the Temple of the Dark Moon asks is that you come with an open mind and mutual respect for other participants.

Then shall ye assemble in some secret place ...
