March 21, 2005 - Eostra

The rite yesterday went well. The thing I'm happiest about is that the Grove obviously doesn't need me: lees carried out the rite very well, very easily, and I was very happy to see the whole Grove get into it.

And of course, the location was wonderful.

Well, there was one snag in the location: some people simply were not at all interested in going out to the rite because it was so far out. It's too far from "home base" for the Grove.

Still, 13 people showed, and the rite came off well. I went completely off-script and extemporized several things in well-fitting ways.

The omens were good, the food was good, and I find myself looking forward to Beltaine, where I can try this "no script" thing again on a larger scale.

But what I really want to do now is get the Grove together for a spontaneous ritual. No tools, no scripts, no nothing. Just us, our voices, and the Gods.

I think they'd like that.
