A vibrant full moon gathering in Langley brings community, tarot, memories, and metaphysical joy to the Fraser Witchery Bog.
A Night Made for Wonder
On a cool November night in Langley, the Fraser Witchery Bog gathered for a full moon celebration. And even though clouds hid the sky, the mood stayed bright. After all, the night was set for connection, reflection, and gentle joy. So, the group kept spirits high. And then, as the evening flowed, the event unfolded with warmth and ease.
Community Comes First
Theresa Rider, the Langley City resident who runs the group’s Facebook page, welcomed everyone with calm energy. She explained that the Witchery Bog is open to anyone who loves metaphysical life. Because of that, people of all backgrounds joined in. And soon, the meadow felt full of friendly voices, soft laughter, and easy conversation. Then, as more people arrived, the circle grew even stronger.
Rider spoke about the joy she feels each time the group meets. She said it comes from being with people who believe in one another. And since the night centered on community, that sense of support filled the space again and again.
A Memory Woven Into Moonlight
For the event, Rider wore a moon circlet she received years ago from her Aunt Claudia. When she spoke about it, her voice warmed. She said the circlet brought back sweet memories. And because the anniversary of her aunt’s passing had just arrived, she wanted her to feel close. So, the circlet glowed like a quiet tribute throughout the night.
Tarot Cards and Open Hearts
Nearby, Walnut Grove resident Jessica Kendall set up three tarot spreads. She offered free readings to anyone who wanted to try the cards. And soon, curious guests gathered around her table. Kendall said she has loved tarot since childhood, and she still feels that spark today. So, she shares it with anyone who wants to explore.
As more people stepped forward, the readings turned into small chats, and those chats turned into soft moments of insight. Then, as one reading ended, another began, and the flow continued late into the night.
A Safe Space for Every Soul
On the second floor of the arboretum building, Melissa another Langley member created a “queer altar.” She wanted a space for remembrance, comfort, and pride. So, she shaped an area filled with color, softness, and strength. She shared that the Witchery Bog helped her heal. And because of that, she hoped the altar would help others feel held and seen too.
A Supermoon Hidden by Clouds
Just days earlier, the moon had reached peak brightness. It was the year’s largest supermoon, glowing bigger and brighter due to its closeness to Earth. And although clouds blocked the view during the gathering, Rider simply laughed and said, “Can’t win ’em all.” So, instead of stargazing, the group took a peaceful walk through the park. And then, the night became even more relaxed.
Old Names, New Meaning
The full moon was also known as the “beaver moon,” a name tied to the season when beavers settle into their lodges for winter. And even though the animals stayed unseen, the name added a touch of folklore to the evening. So, the group held onto that sense of old magic as the night slowly came to a close.
A Night of Light—Even Without the Moon
In the end, the sky stayed cloudy. But the celebration still glowed. And because the Fraser Witchery Bog values connection more than perfect weather, the gathering felt full and bright. So, as people drifted home, the night left them with steady hearts, warm hands, and the soft hum of community.
