Greetings!

I've uploaded the outline for our Lughnasadh ritual. The rite will take place this Saturday, August 2nd, at 3pm on the Great Hill in Central Park.

Please bring a cup or chalice in order to receive the blessings. Let us deepen our commitment to honoring the Earth by limiting the use of disposables!

I hope to see many of you there!

Blissings,

Carraig

Dear Druids,

As I mentioned in my invitation to the Lughnasadh rite, it would help build the bounty reaped if we were to make offerings to or otherwise honor Crom Dubh beforehand - especially around the time of the New Moon, which is now!

Thanks to all who participated in Inis Úll’s  Summer Solstice High Day rite: Bandia na Gréine.

It was quite an interesting ritual; and I must say that I’m still processing it. Clearly, the sense of something hindering Lachna was confirmed in more ways that one: three people who were scheduled to take important roles were too sick to attend; two others had unusual delays in getting to the site; one person who wanted to attend could neither find us nor be found by us; clouds attempted to block the Sun during the reception of blessings, which were carried by the Sun’s rays…

Greetings, Druids!

The ritual outline for our Summer Solstice rite can be found below or as a document in the media library of this site.

I hope to see many of you Sunday!

Blissings,

Carraig
