Welcome to MoonFire
MoonFire, a CUUPs (Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans) Chapter, is affiliated with the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington (UUCA), 4444 Arlington Boulevard (corner of Route 50 and George Mason Drive). We celebrate Ritual the third Sunday of every month. Ritual begins at 1:00 PM and is followed by potluck and fellowship. Attendees are encouraged to arrive by 12:45 PM and to check the easel at the inside stairs to determine in which room we will be meeting.Our Mission and Vision Statement:
"We strive to build a safe and nurturing community which is inclusive
and provides for spiritual growth and service to the Earth and Her children.
We are the Hub of the Wheel of Life, the Crossroads where all meet; We are a
Chalice of the Goddess; We are of the Earth, rich and empowering; We are a
Rock, safe and secure; We are a Rainbow, diverse with many colors yet
together in one band; We are a Flame of Spirituality, providing the light to
see our path before us."

Why are we called "MoonFire"?
MoonFire is an open community of people who come together to explore our pagan and earth-based spirituality in a safe and welcoming environment. MoonFire is a name which symbolizes many of the attributes we want our group to encompass.
* The Moon is a symbol of the Goddess
* As Moon reflects the light of the Sun (the God), we strive to
reflect the Light of the Lord and Lady in our lives.
* Fire symbolizes energy, passion, creativity and imagination as
well as symbolizing the Light of Divine Energy
The Moon is also of the Night --encouraging us to explore our deepest secrets and intuition - to take responsibility for our shadows. Fire is a Symbol of the Flame of our Spirituality. May the name "MoonFire" encourage our community to reflect our Light and Love and to hold close the Flame of Spirituality to guide our growth.
Our logo combines the Moon with the Chalice and flame (Fire). The UU chalice symbol
takes many forms and has a variety of meanings. Interpretations of the flame include: the warmth
of love, the light of truth, a beacon of service to humankind, and the divine light within each of us.
