Pimping for the Druids. - KC Local

[featherynscale]

Tonight, EHQ is hosting the Mabon ritual for Wild Hare Protogrove. This is a public ritual, so if you are local and have an interest in ADF-style ritual, you're welcome to attend.

Autumn Equinox is a sort of odd holiday for me, particularly in this context, because there really isn't a lot of historical background for things that were directly related to the holiday. That's fine when I'm working on my own or with Gaia Community, because if there's something that I don't have any trouble doing, it's making things up, but Wild Hare is a little different. So, in this ritual, we're sort of celebrating the lack of context, as well as working the other end of some work we've done earlier in the year.

See, ADF works within an Indo-European cosmology, and makes a lot of offerings and agreements with various gods, spirits, ancestors and whatnot. All of which is good times. In the Spring, we did a ritual that was about connecting with Proto-Indo-European powers, which was also good times. So now, in the Fall, we're working the other end of the timeline. See, some of us have noticed that we don't exactly live in Europe anymore, and we've got generations of ancestors who didn't, either, but we sort of think that they might have brought some IE religious concepts over on the boats with them. Maybe. So in tonight's ritual, we're making a connection with the gods they built or contacted or found when they got here. We hope that this, too will be good times.

If this sounds fun/interesting/useful to you, we hope you'll join us. EHQ, 7 p.m. gathering, 7:30 ritual. ADF ritual style includes a place for people to make offerings to just about anybody, so if you have a deity or power you'd like to make an offering to, please bring your offering with you. Offerings do not have to be 'things'. :)

Re: Stating the obvious:

yes indeed, and who knows how many other types of beverage...

[starrthinks.livejournal.com]

That sounds interesting, too bad I'm not in town!

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

I know! Somebody just had to come to town on Wednesday... :-P
Speaking of Wednesday, I have no idea what we're doing, we'll have to consult the mighty oracle of scheduling house calendar. :)

[starrthinks.livejournal.com]

LOL... let me know. If possible... I'd totally be up for running out to the faire on Weds. to look at the blades. :)

[triadruid.livejournal.com]

Errr, our Faire only runs on Weekends and Columbus Day...

What about Friday? Is it open during the day Friday?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Nope, just the weekends. There is a fine shop for the buying of pointy objects in Lawrence that one could go to on Friday during the day though.

Probably dumb questions: Where's EHQ, and what day?

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

My house (in South KCMO area), and tonight. :)
If you'd like to come, drop me an email and I will send you directions.

[chayam.livejournal.com]

Aw, I can't. I have to work. :-(

[dramaticaddict.livejournal.com]

what shall we wear??

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]

Whatever you like is fine -- we're not much on ceremonial garments, and the ritual will be inside, and shouldn't be terribly messy. :)

[capriciouslass.livejournal.com]

It's a big longshot whether I'll make it tonight after all. Besides having to work obnoxiously late, I have a pretty long to do list tonight. I'll have to honor the deities from here.

[featherynscale.livejournal.com]
