January 8th 2006: Yemaya New Year's Beach Run
Beautiful ritual led by Deb, with good weather (in spite of the forecasters' predictions) and good omens, including a woman from New Orleans who joined us and asked to float her own offering out. She asked us to bless her city. Bunch of us got wet, but the ocean goddess was lovely, who can blame us? 9 people attended. We made boats of flowers and melons, and the ocean took them. We gave Her flowers. Then we ate, played arcade games.
