Aankondiging: EQUINOX | Een spiritueel verdiepingsprogramma

Op 23 september gebeurt er iets bijzonders: de zon staat loodrecht boven de evenaar en dag en nacht zijn even lang. In paganisme en hekserij bekend als Mabon, duidt dit moment van balans tussen donker en licht op de aantocht van de herfst. Het is een dag om stil te staan bij wat we hebben geoogst deze zomer en waar we dankbaar voor zijn. Het najaar laat niet op zich wachten en de uitbundige levenskracht van de natuur trekt zich langzaam terug in de aarde. Het is een uitnodiging om zelf ook naar binnen te keren en ons open te stellen voor introspectie en reflectie. Deze voorstelling is meer dan een theaterbezoek; het is een cadeau aan jezelf, een ode aan de kracht van de mens en de verbinding tussen al wat leeft.

MABON Voorstelling
- Voorstelling op 23 september om 16.00 uur (première) en 19:00 uur bij Groote Heide Venlo (verzamelen bij Gasterij Groote Heide)

YULE Voorstelling
- Voorstelling op 23 december om 9.30 uur bij Barbara's Weerd te Arcen (verzamelen bij De IJsvogel Arcen)

- Religiewetenschapper Yentl Schattevoet geeft een lezing over het hedendaags Paganisme en moderne hekserij op 3 november om 20.00 uur bij Theater De Garage Venlo
- Heks Petroesjka Splint geeft een lezing over heks zijn als levenswijze op 8 december om 20.00 uur bij Theater De Garage Venlo

Will you be able to mellow the temper of Grandmother March? Learn more about this fascinating Bulgarian folk tradition with martenitsi to ward off winter and welcome the stork heralding spring.

Transitions from one to the other have been perceived as capricious and potentially dangerous from time immemorial. Transitional moments, periods or even epochs have been celebrated as being in-between time and space when the old is still there and the new is yet to begin…

Brace yourselves: Mercury is retrograde for the second time this year and it won’t be the last one for 2022. It shouldn’t have come as a surprise that we were cut off from the internet for a few hours on this very day as connection and communication issues are traditionally known to occur during Mercury Retrograde. On a more positive note, there’s time to finally take a step back from all those ringing and blinking devices and turn inward. Introspection and reflection are key.

♊️ What makes this retrograde of the planet of the Messenger of the Gods so interesting is that it first wanders through Gemini. As Gemini’s ruling planet, Mercury in retrograde could indicate miscommunication due to gossip. The Twins sign is known to be a social chatterbox that could now show its meaner side. More than ever, it’s best to avoid gossipy behavior. Things could backfire and escalate quickly.

♉️ Mercury will enter the earthy sign of Ta**us on the 22nd of May. It’s advised to mark this day in your calendar and notice how possible changes affect your life. It’s about time to listen to your Higher Self and contemplate what your True Will is. What way are you heading and is this what you really want? What is it that makes you happy in life and gives you stability as well? Reconsider your steps towards short and long term goals regarding that which makes you feel grounded and whole, but start new projects and journeys only after the retrograde period. Follow your heart and gut feeling!

The seemingly backward movement of Mercury will be over on the 3rd of June, and its impact will wane until about the 18th of June.

Happy Mercury Retrograde and may the odds be ever in your favor 🌟
