Hail and Welcome One and All,
I would like to welcome any new readers of my blog and also to wish you all the happiest of Lughnasadh/Lammas blessings. The ritual has been written and will be performed tonight in the Clan's home. The weather isn't at all ideal outside so unfortunately this calls for an indoors ritual. I'm really looking forward to it. So all it needs is for me to hope your festivities are joyous and that your cupboards will always be full of food at the time of this first harvest. Beannacht Gail - in the Peace of the Grove, Seren Meadow, Clan Of The Wolf Moon /|\

Olympia
There has been a lot of hype recently about the Olympic torch coming to my home town but I've let it all just float over my head. As a country in deep financial difficulty I've struggled with my patriotism as far as the Olympics is concerned. All I can say is that I hope we generate a larger income than we have spent in expenditure towards the whole 'circus'.
Talking about the Olympics....the torch arrived in my hometown today (Portsmouth, Hampshire)....I knew it was happening but didn't think much about it. However, I think 90% of my local friends were out in force to see it happen. I'm glad they all had a great time, I just find the whole thing boring. I'm dreading the opening ceremony. Is Britain going to be the butt of the world's jokes for the foreseeable future?
On the upside of it all I wish all our athletes the very best of luck and hope they win us a record amount of gold medals. :-)

Part-time Blogger, that's me!
It's been a while since I posted anything and I apologise. I've had health issues and added to that having to cope with all the symptons of Cosmic changes, I just haven't had the energy to keep up with the blogs.
I find it amazing how the Cosmos works sometimes, forcing you to do their bidding when you cling to what you know instead of moving forward in your life. I can definitely say that they have maneuvered me into (or out of, depending on how you look at it) a situation.
It's very hard to let go of the past when you've been using it as a crutch. However, I've discovered I CAN walk without that crutch and have moved on with my life.
As a consequence of some of the changes going on around me I decided to start my own Grove. This was mainly to help my daughter practice ritual at her own convenience but we'll see how it progresses. I'm quite happy being a Hedge Druid but still felt the need to have my own Grove for some reason. Sooooo...I would like to introduce to you The Clan Of The Wolf Moon. It's an hereditary Grove and closed to the general public. For the time being I just want to keep it for myself and my eldest daughter who is also a Druid. My younger daughters have agreed to support us when needed but they are atheist and don't want to be drawn into it completely. I can understand that, they have to find their own paths to walk.

Hopefully, I'll have written a dedication ritual in time for Lughnasadh so we can actually say it's an up and running Grove. We're still members of another Grove, so we can still practice ritual in a group circle. So many Cosmic changes are happening, it's quite an exciting time. :)
