Online Samhain Ceremony
31 October
EAGT held its online Samhain ceremony on Thursday 31 October 2024.
We called in the Dark Mothers Keridwen, Hela, Hecate and Lilith to be with us these coming dark months. We were taught how to make and the purpose of a chestnut necklace. Two seasonal poems were read from those gone before.
This is a time to let go of that which no longer serves us.
Walk with Goddess on the Land
Our second walk with Goddess took place on Monday 28 October from Mistley, Essex and through Witches country of Manningtree. We went into Andraste's Woodland Grove, across fields, around the town and along the river, with the occasional light rain.
We honoured the Witches of Manningtree.
Thank you to all those who joined us for this Samhain walk with Crone Goddess.

-
Report from the Chair (or Vice Chair)
-
James suggested a possible name change for our community, at the moment we use two names ‘Iceni Magna’ and ‘East Anglia Goddess Temple’. This can lead to confusion for people wo are wanting to join the community and there are worries that the name ‘East Anglia Goddess Temple’ will bring suspicion in the future. (example; trying to apply for funds).
-
James suggested in the management meeting that we split the team in two groups, one for Essex and one for Suffolk. This way they should be able to organise more local meetings and ceremonies so people could get more face-to-face time with each other.
