GOG
led the main ritual at Central Jersey Pagan Pride Day in Colonial Park.
The ritual was fashioned to honor the land itself, the sacred space
in the park. 130 people (or so) attended this ADF Druid rite, an unusual
experience for many. The invocations were designed to be both brief,
and also to explain the rite as we progressed through it. It went very
well, and was very much our style of "tent revival" Druid
ritual. When people couldn't help themselves and joined in the invocations,
we knew that it really worked! Thanks to all who carefully created their
invocations. Somewhat more scripted than our usual rite, this is one
for the books- the ADF Liturgy yearbook.
The day itself went well, with the grove helping with registration and
cleanup (and handing out garbage bags during the ritual to keep the
park clean...)
Thanks to the 16 grove members who attended and invoked, sang songs,
beat on drums, or otherwise helped out! You're good!
