Kith of the Earthen Star, who we are and what we do

The Kith of the Earthen Star is a group of diverse people, yet who who have in common a desire to meet the divine through nature.  On the second Monday of each month, the Kith meet in the upstairs Wolfe Room of The Black Swan, and are led through a talk, discussion, or activity focussing on one aspect of spirituality  (in the widest sense of the word).  So far in 2011 we have had Pagan Singing, Pathworking, Ancient Sites around Anglesey, The Green Man, Major Acana - Tarot, and look forward to finding out more about The Founders of Modern Witchcraft.  The group hosts an annual bazaar just before Christmas to sell crafts, gifts and greetings cards.On the last Thursday of the month, an informal get together is held in a downstairs room, where we simply chat, catch up with each other, and have a drink together.The Kith of the Earthen Star is not led by a committee or a person in charge, but to the best of it's ability it is group-led.   The group has an internet forum on which all sorts of ideas, discussions and suggestions can be placed.  It is not an open forum, so to set up a profile with a user name and password, please see Marcus or Blayn on Monday or Thursday moot nights, or contact us via the contact form on the contact page of this website.  We encourage participation in the forum and are delighted to accept new members.  We simply ask that you are known to the Kith.

It is often asked, "What is a pagan?"  There are so many answers that it is impossible to give a definition.  One is a healer, another was brought up a christian, another studied wicca, yet another leans towards shamanism, this one paints, another enthuses about trees, he meditates, she gives tarot readings, here is wand making, dress making, gardening..... yet all seek the spiritual in the world around them.

There is no "one belief" in the Kith of the Earthen Star.  Yet all who come together at the Kith meetings find something divine about nature and the world around us.  The expressions of this are as many as there are people who come to the Moot.  Add your own understandings to the eclectic mix, and enjoy!
