Lughnasadh Magic

Saturday evening was ALG’s Lughnasadh ceremony. This little tree frog came in for an evening snack of bugs that were drawn to the torch light. We know it wasn’t for warmth – it was hot and humid that August evening! The Moon vine was the bridge needed to crawl up the 6 ft to get close to the flame.

Each ceremony brings something that is either poetic of the natural world or in some way significant to the observer. I know many get the opportunity to slow down, and notice the beauty and draw inspiration of the world around us.

July Triad

Three beliefs out of step with our global consciousness:

  • One God
  • One Religion
  • Infallibility

When, in the history of the human race, have we become so arrogant as not to accept gods and goddesses common to other tribes of human kind? Intolerance leads to the illusion of one religion; the belief of infallibility inoculates us from the possibilities…

ALG celebrates Summer Solstice 2008 with the grove ceremony and cookout.

With the high energy of the sun upon us, ALG enjoyed ceremony and a cookout on June 21st at Wilderness Nemeton. With an opportunity to appreciate the blessings of the sun and connecting with nature, along with a wonderful evening shower, the ceremony was a wonderful experience for all of us. This is a great time to re-affirm one’s commitments or to use the solar power to make resolutions for the rest of the annual cycle.

The evening was celebrated by a hamburger cookout, conversation and catching up on the last couple of months since we had last met.

Awen’s Light Grove hopes that you took a moment to recognize the season and celebrate in some small way!
