                                   MOON WEB
                                 AIDS WORKING

     Moon Web is a group of Witches and Pagans who join energies in healing
and peace efforts.  This Moon Web is scheduled for January 31st, 1988 at 7
pm.  It is the second anniversary of the first AIDS Moon Web.  This ritual
focuses on destroying barriers and increasing the positive elements that
will help us overcome AIDS.
     The ritual space is purified according to personal practice.
Invocations to Athena, Hermes, and/or Brigid may be done.  Those gathered
will be divided into five groups.  One will be assigned to each of the
elements with one group in the center.  Each group may be led by a
particular coven or group of coven leaders.  The center (altar) group will
present each elemental group with the obstacle to overcome and later accept
the positive "goal".  We have divided the elements this way:
     AIR - Knowledge/Ignorance
     FIRE - Committment/Indifference
     EARTH - Funding/Red Tape
     WATER - Empathy/Hostility
     When confronted with the obstacles the small groups will be wrapped
with crepe paper by the center group.  We suggest the spectral colors: Air -
Purple, Fire - Green, Earth - Red, Water - Orange.  The groups break their
bonds, overcoming the obstacle.  When all four are done, each quarter group
presents the center group with a candle symbolizing the positive quality.
They are all placed on the altar and tied with silver thread.  As they burn,
the group can dance to raise energy.
     Afterwards, all are given candles charged during the ritual that were
on or under the altar to take home and spread the light.  Cakes and
Wine/Libations can follow.
     This Moon Web was created by the leaders of The Gaia Group, Knossos
Grove, and Kathexis of NYC.
