If an event is listed as a ritual, all attendees are invited to either observe or participate to the extent they feel comfortable. If you'd like to participate, then at least consider bringing a ceremonial cup of some sort. Regardless of the style, we usually refer to ceremonial cups simply as "chalices." They can be a travel mug, a ceramic or metal goblet, cast resin, wood, or glass. Since we're outside and often have uneven surfaces, ceramic and glass can be fragile of course, but you might see a number of us with glass cups.

Mosser Glass still makes them new, but you can find them relatively easily in any big antique store. Attendees will also bring a plant-based offering for the fire or sometimes some poetry to offer. If you have a ritual robe you like to wear, or other ceremonial garments that you use in your personal practice, that is also welcome. Many attendees just wear everyday clothing to rituals.
