Lughnasadh/Lammas Ritual
2025-08-03 12:00 - 13:00 | First Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall, 770 11th St., Astoria, OR, 97103, United States
Exploring the World of Pagan Rites
Join us at Noon on August 3rd, 2025, for our CUUPS Lughnasadh ritual, celebrating the first harvest. This ritual will be conducted as part of the regular service of the Pacific Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and will be held in the fellowship hall at 770 11th Street, Astoria.
This ritual will be the first in an ongoing series exploring Animism, Paganism, and Shamanism around the world. For Lughnasadh we will be looking to Asia and incorporating ritual elements and prayers from the Shinto religion of Japan. Shinto is a living tradition with an unbroken line of transmission through a continuous priesthood dating back over 2,000 years. It is an animistic faith that encourages practitioners to recognize their connection to the cycle of the Great Nature. Within Shinto practice, there are household altars, a priesthood, and recognized traditions of fortune telling, seasonal rites, and magical esoterism. Join us as we examine this fascinating path through the lens of CUUPs Paganism.

We are meeting in person at the First Presbyterian Church of Astoria. The service will also be live-streamed via Zoom for those who are not comfortable attending in person. Masks are now optional but strongly advised. If you are not feeling well, please wear a mask, or attend via Zoom.
