Fooling the Fools Once Again

Apr 11, 2010 20:25

Our Fools Rite and after ritual dinner was a great deal of fun, thank you all who came (especially Grey who came an hour and a half, foolish indeed!). I had been feeling really, really distracted since the end of the rite and then I realized I did not close the gates and I am pretty sure I have been traveling to "worlds unknown, different than our own" since then. I am sorry, I hope everyone else hasn't been feeling this too.

I just offered the white rabbit some offerings in recompense and asked him to assist me in closing the gates and did a pretty full grounding and feeling much better now.

Our theme for the year was the "Mad Hatters". It was not really an Alice in Wonderland rite but we did call upon the white rabbit and we asked everyone to wear a silly or unusual hat for the rite

We had 9 people this year, counting the boys who certainly are a major part of our fools rite. Thank you Robin and Blue for letting them take part. The rite only took about 25 minutes. We honored the Earth Mother and then placed our hallows into the center. Ubu was there (our Grove ritual tree) as well as some incense and an electronic candle for a fire, a bottle of nestle water for our well, a pirate captain, batman, and the joker action figures, a bag with a pink tree on it, a book "Robin Hood and his Band of Merry Men" (I think), and some silk flowers that Matt refused to wear in his hair. I may be forgetting something too.

As mentioned above we called to the white rabbit to open the gates to the worlds unknown. Places of curious magic different from the world we know.

We called the kindreds and as is now our tradition each person was given the chance to call on those beings they wished as our key offerings. We called the wold, raven and crow, the pirates of old and batman, robin hood, the wolf (I think, I kind of forget who Grey called), Loki, Pan, and Eris. This ritual is not really to call in these beings into our lives but to show them honor, give voice to their place in our lives, and to ask that when they must touch us that they do so gently. Our omens were pretty good and no one died, as they say, so ...

Afterward we headed to "The Winking Lizard" for food, fellowship, and frivolity.

Good times!
