Last night CedarLight Grove celebrated it's 35th year since the first Midsummer HR on the banks of the Patapsco river. 28 years since we moved into this building and began our grand experiment in urban druidry. 100 years since the building was built, and all the the people who have contributed to our urdan druidry experiment. We aare still the only grove, that I am aware of, that owns it own property and building in any druid organization worldwide, We still see and follow the light and we are still standing after all theses years.

CedarLight held a very high energy Greek celebration of Lanaia for Imbolc last night. Folks came dressed for their parts Dionysus and Cerebus, Pan, Artemis, and others were all in attendance. Cerebus wandered off to play with the neighborhood dogs and we could all hear it but they instantly stopped barking when we called him back. Who's a good boy? You're a good boy! Our divination was by tearing an animal shaped pinata filled with strips of paper with various things written on them for entrails. The seer/maenad tore the animal apart while screaming and then read the entrails. This was followed by some Greek wine and grape juice as the waters and 2 people took the other to become full members. One of the highlights was Puck being Puck in all his fabulous glory dancing and frolicking with his drum all over the sanctuary.

Another plus was the officers organized a large amount of mulch to be deployed before the rite which made the sanctuary much more accessible and dry for everyone. We've had a LOT of rain lately and it was quite muddy.
Hail the gods, hail the folk!
