Hello All!!
I'm a former member of an open circle, which operates out of Danbury, CT. I left, when I moved out of state, but miss it terribly. While I've been gone, the circle has gone through multiple changes. It even took a couple of brief hiatus' for reconstruction, and because the founders were getting things ready for their new baby. Well, the new baby is here, and already two months old, and they are opening up the circle again. Moonlight Circle is a wonderful group, which serves the greater Danbury area, as well as other areas of CT, and even parts of NY (which is close to Danbury). It is an "Open" circle, by which I mean it does not restrict membership. There are no dues (though there is a donation jar out at gatherings, in case you'd like to donate a buck or two to go toward materials, or refreshments), no degrees, no applications, etc, etc, etc. It is also open in the way that it is Multi-Path oriented. It does not adhere to a strict ritual outline from any one tradition. In fact, Bhuddists, Hindu's, Ba'haii's, Native American Shamans, Druids, Jews, and Christians, all have an open invitation to these circles, and have in the past, been part of their celebrations! It gears itsself toward "general pagan" or "earth worship" ideals. The founders are Wiccan in background, but knowledgeable about SEVERAL paths, and are just wonderful people. Anyway, as I said, they are opening up again, and seeking new membership. Much of their membership moved out of state for Jobs, or for family issues. And still others moved on to other circles, during their hiatus. So...I'm hoping that if any of you are from CT, or parts of NY, you might consider visiting this link, which is their homepage, and look into Moonlight Circle. It's a truly wonderful group. If you have any questions, you can ask either me, or Tyrnen (who founded the group.) who's email address is on the website.
