Once again this year we open our Pagan Pride Festivities with an act of worship offered to one of the great sacred beings of our landscape, Minnehaha Falls. The three traditional offerings of water, cornmeal, and flowers are accompanied by prayers for Life, Food, and Beauty for the Pagan Peoples. Join the procession to descend into the caldera, or make your prayers from above.

Hymn (all) People of the Waters
O People of the Waters, come to me,
the Maiden Water is calling.
O Maiden Water, O Maiden Water,
your people hear your calling.
O People of the Waters, come to me,
the Dancing Water is calling.
O Dancing Water, O Dancing Water,
your people hear your calling.
O People of the Waters, come to me,
the Laughing Water is calling.
O Laughing Water, O Laughing Water,
your people hear your calling.
