Greetings Friends All!
The Call of Destiny, the Daughters and the Sons of Xiosia be honored and pleased to invite ye to the
Service Fer Xiosia just after the
Parade of Guilds and the
Presentation of Staves of Accolade. The Service will be held in the
Garden of our Goddess and all be invited!
We shall sing and dance, chant the words of our Goddess herself from her sacred teachings,
then share with each other our stories of the Goddess and the Peace she brings to our lives.
Then if ye chooses, ye can meditate before the Ruqua tree.
All who wish may bless each other with
Pure Water from the Sacred Pool. Finally, we shall share a picnic meal and sing and tell stories till the night sky lightens again!
And for those who wish, bring yer cloaks and coverings and sleep in the Garden
under the gaze of the Lady of Life and Fertility, and ye shall be Blessed!
May the Harmony of Nature surround ye, and may Xiosia guide ye!
All Be Welcome in the Garden of Xiosia!
Peace to ye!
