Fall Equinox and Court
We had our Fall Equinox ritual this past Saturday. I was unable to allow myself to fit into the ritual due to some things I’ve had on my mind as of late. They plague me still. But it was still enjoyable, and I was able to try out a new Welcoming ritual for new Grove members and receive feedback on how to improve on it.
One thing I did notice throughout the ritual was the “more than usual” presence of the nature spirits. Mocking birds, and even a hare came prancing through the sanctuary during ritual, with 30 some odd people standing there.
This ritual had many Greek influences, invoking Hermes and Iris, with Hecate as the Gatekeeper. As much as I love Greek Mythology, I just can’t seem to get into our Greek based rituals. Maybe they always happen when I have shit going on, I don’t know.
I’ve asked to be involved in Samhain, as it’s one of my favorites. The whole season of Autumn, the secular Halloween, and the sacred Samhain all make me very excited. I have so many ideas running through my head for not only ritual, but just setting around the house and at the feast afterwards.
In other news, I received a subpoena today to appear in court for a friend. I’m actually not to happy about it because 1. I wasn’t asked, and 2. I already stated I didn’t want to be involved and be exposed to the drama that could ensue. Not just for me, but because it would affect my father and our home here as well. And my father is always my #1 priority.
So who knows what will go on there.
I think I need to clear my head.
