Forest Sanctuary

Well, it looks as though we’re going to open our doors for a ritual celebrating Mabon.  It’s been a little over a year since we’d  chosen to stop facilitating open events, in order for our grop to focus on deeper spiritual work.  Renewing open rituals will be exciting and challenging, but it will also provide our group, and the greater community, a chance to share and celebrate together.

I’ve been offering open events for many years, with its many challenges and joys.   Not only is this one way to give to the community, it’s a wonderful way to maintain spiritual ties with new and old friends.

A happy and Blessed solstice to all.  May the warmth and light of summer fill you with bounty.  May the midsummer moon bring magic and mystery.

What a glorious eve and solstice day – the warmth and joy shared with friends and family.  The laughter of a child filled with wonder.  The mystery of scent and the fresh rain helping everything and everyone grow strong and true.

Lord and Lady, we are truly blessed.

I want to say hail and farewell to a wonderful man and Craft brother.

Alexei Kondratiev (1949-2010) died on May 27th.  He was a wonderful man and Craft elder.  Author of “The Apple Branch: A Path to Celtic Ritual”, and linguist.   Alexei invested much time and energy into Celtic knowledge, culture and language, with his contributions impacting Pagans throughout the world.

I loved to hear him talk and share his observations.  I wish I’d known him more deeply and am saddened for the loss his friends and family must feel. 

I bid you hail and farewell.  Hail to thee, blessed be.
