Samhain 2009

We gathered at Lynne's place for Samhain this year. Carved some pumpkins, had a wonderful fire and altar for our dead and then feasted inside for a while. Click on this image for a larger photo essay...

Beltaine 2009

Joanne wasn't able to attend, but the remainder of the Gover of 4 attended the 27th Annual Beltaine at Popham Beach.

Ostara 2009

Only the original four of us were able to make it for an Ostara ritual this year. We chose to visit the Saco River as we've not done so in a while. We ventured out to the Nature Sanctuary near the power dam in Hiram and after a vigorous hike in often knee deep snows down the trail to get to the river, we held our casual rite to welcome the soon to be quickening of Spring.

Imbolc, 2009

A nice afternoon at Kevin and Shannon's with the entire Grove. We each toasted Spring at the halfway point of Winter and welcomed the onset from atop the deep snows and then went back into the yurt to have some tasty munchies and warm company.
