12/12/04 Yule Ritual and Party - We celebrated Yule early to avoid the busyness around reading period and finals. During the ritual, we did a guided meditation. Afterwards, we sung "paganized" versions of popular Christian holiday songs and made Yule tree ornaments.

11/19/04 Pagan-themed Movie-watching - Members of ASP watched the film Kiki's Delivery Service, an anime film about a young witch who must find her calling, and discussed the positive and negative aspects of the film from a pagan perspective.
10/31/04: Open Samhain Ritual - We invited members of the Smith campus to attend our Samhain ritual to learn more about paganism and experience an ASP ritual. We remembered the things or persons dear to us who had passed from our lives and reenacted the myth of Isis and Osiris. Afterwards, we walked downtown, chanting, to leave offerings in the crossroads (a.k.a. the be-boop lights).
10/13/04: New Moon Ritual - We celebrated the cycling of the moon in a new moon ritual near the campus pond and asking for blessings upon our goals for the semester and year.
9/26/04: Mabon Ritual - We attended a Mabon ritual at the Sunwheel on the U-Mass Amherst campus that was planned and hosted by several adult pagan groups in the five-college area. Food was collected to benefit a local food pantry.
