United Earth Assembly
The Texas Local Council Covenant of the Goddess sponsors the United Earth Assembly annually each October. See www.UnitedEarthAssembly.com for festival information for 2010.
The United Earth Assembly (UEA) is one of the oldest pagan seminars in the United States. It began as the Samhain Seminar in 1970 and was held each year near Halloween. In the 1970's the name was changed to United Earth Assembly and the date changed to the Autumn Equinox (Mabon) in late September. It became known as the Witches Thanksgiving and has been held as far east as Washington, DC, and as far west as Albuquerque, New Mexico. For many years, Amarillo, Texas was home to the UEA. In the 1970's, it was thought, "if the magick doesn't work in a Holiday Inn beside Interstate 40 in Amarillo, what good is it?" UEA celebrates it's 40th anniversary this year!
Join us as we honor Gaia Rhythms for UEA 2010! Our guest speaker is Elizabeth Cunningham, author of the best-selling series, The Maeve Chronicles as well as three other novels and two collections of poetry. She has just released her first album MaevenSong. In private practice as a counselor, Elizabeth is also the director of The Center at High Valley in Clinton Corners, NY where she hosts celebrations of the Celtic Cross Quarter Days. See http://passionofmarymagdalen.com for more information about Elizabeth.
