We also had a dragon toss and a spear throw. We used a cute stuffed toy dragon (won by Muin, whose 2nd child is due in September). The spears were asparagus. Did you know it breaks apart when you hurl it through the air?
My daughter The Heir brought two of her friends. My daughter The Spare took South again ... second ritual in a row! The picnic didn't break up until 4:00.
Funny thing is that our meeting place is in a park that lies close to the home of the group's founder. Except the group's founder has dropped out, leaving us all a commute. And we're doing it, by golly. One family comes all the way from Allentown.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
