I hope everyone had a bright and blessed Solstice weekend. I am super happy with how things went this weekend, both with the Study Group (where one of the students wrote and directed the entire ritual) and the Protogrove (where I wrote the ritual and we performed it on the beach at dusk). It was a lovely, if busy, weekend.
Also good, our omens this time were resoundingly positive, both at the study group and at the protogrove, leading me to think we’re doing something right.
So as the wheel turns toward the harvest, for now, I am resting and content with my practice. I may still be figuring out my path and my position in the groups I’m in (the grove organizer seemed excited to have someone working on the advanced study programs, which was super encouraging), I am happy with how far we’ve come as a group. I’m still me, and I still need to learn to set better boundaries, but that will come with time and increased perspective.
Brightest blessings of the Solstice season – may Sunne’s warmth shine on you all.
And I hope that you too had a very blessed Mean Samhradh (Midsummer) – I attended my first ADF rite as part of a local grove and taking my first step down the road of the dedicant path.
