Imbolc

I haven't talked much about the ritual Saturday. I'm still processing it.
http://commercialappeal.com/news/2009/feb/02/into-the-light/ has an article that doesn't make us all look like flakes. (ignore the idiot commenters)

They led us in to the room, one by one, blindfolded. Our guide lit our candle and removed our blindfold. It was a difficult walk for me because I'm always afraid of falling. Dollface let B. lead her with perfect trust.

The room was lit by a single candle, and then mine and then Dollface's, and then more and more.

Our ministers...they came in and were blown away by the sight and the energy in the silent room.
I can't say it better than Grynner.

Well, Ron's picture with the candle and robe makes it look scary and misterious. Add to that the fact that they put in things like "heavily pierced" in there and stuff makes me wonder.

Is Treena the new girl who was there?

Sounds like a beautiful ritual. Makes me wish I knew more groups in this area (I'm sure there are plenty if I could find them, but the only one I know of, I was part of once and it's not for me).

Was a nice article. And the commentors were pretty mild, considering, which is good. (I've certainly been told to go catch the sale at Hot Topic before, myself)
