United by Story and Bound by Love

In front of stone walls, two round trays hold an array of slim, lit candles

Gather we now into this space, this time when the Wheel turns and the Veil shatters.
Gather we now to remember, to grieve, to prophesy, to complete our harvests before the Long Dark comes.
Gather we now to tell the Old Stories and sing the Old Songs, to be as we have always been —the Voice of our people eternal.
Gather we now to celebrate that which was, that which is, and that which will be.
Gather we now, as we have always done, united by Story and bound by Love.
