Midsummer 2007

Calling the Monsoon

| Back to Home Page | Back to Photos Page |

This year we were having our first Midsummer Rite in the new venue. Squeezing everyone is was a bit of a
problem! We will seriously have to rethink our ritual location.

Mark led the rite as the Orator, with Cassie as the Sacrificer. Kirk was the Seer, Dennis the Warrior, and Nora
was the Bard. Jenni, Mariha, Andrea and Kitty all helped out with the ritual play.

At this ritual we also welcomed new member Rev. Jenni Hunt, newly moved to Tucson from Columbus, Ohio.
Once she gets her bearings, she'll be joining our ritual line-up for High Days and Saturday Blessing Rites.

As usual, Midsummer is also the time that our Grove does a working, calling on Taranis and Artio to bring on the
Monsoon rains.
