Tamesal London Circle:
Thames-Isis Rituals in London 2013
We are planning to explore the mysteries and magic of the Goddess Isis in a series of rituals to be held by the banks of river Thames in London. (Tamesis is an old name of river Thames, and supposedly means `Thames-Isis’).
Dates & Rituals:
|
Saturday 3rd March : Blessing of the Fleet Ceremony (Isidias Navigatum). Ritual outline (tbc): A statue of the Goddess will be carried to the water, where flowers-wreathed women may offer mirrors so that she may see her beauty. Priests will pour milk on the sands from a pitcher shaped like Isis's breast, then sprinkle the statue with precious perfumes. As the final part of the ritual, a small replica boat will be filled with spices and sent (out to sea) as an offering to the Goddess Isis.
|
|
Wednesday 17th July: Birthday of Isis (Night of the Cradle). Sky Goddess Nut gives birth to Isis.
|
|
Sunday 7th July: Submerging Sakhmet- A protection ritual for London. It is believed that below Waterloo bridge ..within river Thames lies a statue of the Lion-headed Egyptian Warrior Goddess Sakhmet. We hope to make a statue out of Thames-clay using natural materials, and in a ceremony, submerge the statue ..as a rite for protection for London.

|
Saturday 16th November: (Full moon) Quests of Isis: searching, mourning and the finding of Osiris. (This is the `Samhain equivalent).
