Imbolc, Delayed and Expanded

Our plans were to celebrate Imbolc on Friday evening. However, Sister Snow decided to gift us with a large delivery on Friday. We were expecting a total of 8 people, and none of our intended guests were able to travel. So we postponed the event to Sunday afternoon.

Sunday came. We had a total of 14 people, including an unexpected but very welcome friend from out-of-state. For the ritual, we held a water-sharing, and we also linked together some prayer ties that we had previously made, forming strings that were carried out to the ritual meadow. This was the first group ritual for several of our attendees. I think we held the ritual around 2 PM, and after it we laid out some snacks and socialized for a while.

It was after 11 PM by the time the last person left. Everybody was having so much fun hanging out and talking about magic and the Grey School of Wizardry and bodywork and how to build a supercomputer inside a minifridge using freon for an atmosphere, that nobody wanted to leave until they had to.

That was a day well spent.
