Sunday, August 22nd - Riding the Lion
Gaia Community Ritual, 4 p.m.
Shawnee Mission UU Church

Across many myths and practices, "riding the lion" and the Tarot card associated with it (Strength) is about mastering -- or reining in -- destructive urges such as lust gone bad, power-mongering or uncontrollable anger (to name a few) so that we may be free to pursue our highest spiritual and worldly aspirations. On Sunday, August 22nd, we'll take our inspiration from the worship of Magna Mater, Cybele (or Kybele), on her Lion Throne by binding and sacrificing the "lions" that ride us into the ground. Be prepared for spellwork and extended dancing. It's okay if you're new or inexperienced -- or even if you need an alternative to dancing -- just come prepared for some hard work!

I think it's the wrong time of year for that, isn't it?

No, no castration. That's usually in April, IIRC. The key words are "inspired by," not "in emulation of." The man-bits are all safe...
