July 1st: A High Tea and Comfort Ritual
"Here at GoG we like our deities to have rough edges like we do.  But what happens after we've gone through a difficult time?  Come join us as we discover (or rediscover) our own personal deities' softer, comforting sides as we do an ADF style ritual to our Gods and Goddesses of Tea and Comfort."
27 attended the High Tea and Comfort Ritual. Deb was our elegant, capable, and courageous Druid-in-Charge. James and Ed performed as waiters, serving tea, cream, sugar cubes, milk, lemon, and honey, and then tomato and cheese sandwiches, cucumber and dill sandwiches, more tea, curry chicken salad, salmon puffs, more tea, scones with clotted cream, lemon curd and raspberry jam, and even more tea, petit fours, brownies, lemon cookies, more desserts, and even more tea. Much thanks to Bob and Norma who helped in the kitchen keeping the tea hot and steeping and the plates moving. Much thanks to all who brought food of all sorts. Much thanks to Xuk, who paid for 6 pizzas later on after the ritual. This was a good, emotional and cathartic ritual-- a lot of good on-target invocations. Click here for script
