This Sunday, I'm hosting a Fall Equinox ritual and potluck with a local group, Pagans of Delaware County ; it's open to others, too! The goal is community building. Be you in Delaware County, Ohio or not, come on out and meet new people, on Sunday, September 24th, 2-5pm. The location will either be at Delaware State Park OR Andrews House. I will finalize the details on Friday. This ritual is inspired by a children's book called 'The Fox and the Falling Leaves' by Julia Rawlinson. I'm going to hand out wooden leaves and acorns to each person, and talk about the beauty of letting go, but also how release takes time, effort, patience, support, and courage. I'm hoping to have a fire to burn the wooden leaves and for each person to just sit and reflect (depending on our location, of course).   I'll ask that participants keep the acorns blank, as they represent potential and result, and will take time to decorate.

Yesterday Facebook group, Pagans of Delaware County (Ohio) held a Summer Solstice Meet'n'Greet'n'Ritual.  We talked and laughed, cooked and ate together, learned about the Summer Solstice, and made ribbon rings and wands.  It was a lot of fun and exciting, too!  We even had a mouse guest that my middle son first spotted. When we arrive at the shelter, I greeted the Nature Spirits and asked if it was okay to have ritual there.  They said yes.  Crystal and I cleansed, warded, and blessed the area and the altar.  We ate and laughed.  Offered some free divination and made dancing ribbons of different colors.  After Crystal talked about the solstice, I talk a bit about color magick for folks to think about as their made their rings and wands. I asked first that they think about what certain colors mean to them.  Then I talked about what different colors may mean in different cultures, religions, and traditions.  I went into chakras a little ...
