Summer Ritual Planning

Sunday, January 21, 2001

Phoenix came to visit today. It is always a pleasure to have her here. Doober, her big white dog, accompanied her. He doesn't like it when she leaves him:) We talked about our nest Walspurgisnacht and Beltane dates. She wants to do the all night ritual for Walspurgisnacht again this year. It works for us as she organizes it and we just provide a place for it. She will also do some visioning on an initiatory ritual experience that she is planning for the summer - she is going to hang upside down from our ritual Oak tree for a period of time (yet to be determined). It is going to be quite the ritual with watchers to make sure she is physically ok, and helpers to get her up and down. So this year we are planning an April 28th Walspurgisnacht (this date isn't definite as we haven't decided on whether it will be friday or saturday) and a May 12th Beltane.
