Alban Eilir, 2008 C.E.

Missing our dear grovemate Lynne, who couldn't be with us, we gathered together on Saturday the 22nd of March at Kevin and Shannon's place to hold ritual to celebrate entering the Lightest half of the year and the beginning of the end to this very long and snowy Winter that has taken much physical and mental toll on all Mainers.

As always we shared the warmth of good friends and giggles and joy of the next generation of Paganism. We crafted Icons of our Winter Frustrations and mid ritual hacked them into oblivion with much relish then enjoyed some lovely lemon tarts, a fine blackberry malomel mead and headed into the toasty yurt for even more tasty snacks.
