The last 2 weeks have been
wonderful. I attended my first summerland festival located in southern Ohio.
This is an ADF festival, and as I joined ADF earlier this year I decided to
attend. Well, not just decided, my friend Amy was being ordained and I would
not have missed that for the world.
As out grove was running the
kitchen, I had decided to work in the kitchen as much as needed, and put in
quite a few hours. But I was able to attend a few workshops and learned a few
new things that is always a good thing.
I also took my Zentangle kit with
me, and ended up giving a couple impromptu classes. As I was teaching friends,
it was not planned, and they were not full classes, I did not charge them at
all. It was nice to teach it again.
Interesting to note, though I
love Zentangle, and I plan on doing more, I have recently been slacking. The
one place it has been used though is for offerings/sacrifices. There have been
a number of rituals where I will create a tile for the purpose of offering it
to the fire at ritual. While at summer
land I created 3 tiles as offering in the future to various Gods I associate
with.
The weekend after summerland was
also great, we had a S’more party and it went well. I made homemade
marshmallow, and the strawberry ones were amazing. We had lots of different
toppings, and cookies to put them on. Hot dogs were wonderful over the fire,
and it was a great fire. Was wonderful to see friends I have not seen in a
while, all in all a great couple weekends in a row.
