A COUPLE of dozen revellers joined the Wight Druids open public celebration for the Hunter’s Moon at The Longstone at the end of October.
The event, which began with ritual and culminated in a drumming session, also included a meditative journey to meet the Cailleach during which those present were invited to offer all that was negative in their lives, or no longer served them, to be thrown into her cauldron of transformation, to be changed into the seeds to be planted for the new growing season beyond the Dark Half of the year.
This event was, in fact, the ‘outer’ public counterpart to the ‘inner’ Samhuinn rite, which was celebrated privately in a lovely, intimate little yew grove with just a few invited friends.
The next open public celebration will be for Alban Arthuan, Winter Solstice.
