September Rowan at Medina Arboretum, Newport. Picture by Mary-Ann.
LATE September has been – and continues to be – a good productive time for Wight Druids.
On Sunday, September 20, a respectable number of us gathered for our open public Alban Elfed (Autumn Equinox) celebration at The Longstone. Last year, this festival had been combined with a consideration of the Peace One Day campaign (see our little YouTube movie at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bE-ogRPDx9A), but this year, the two were separated.
For Peace One Day this year, some of us met a day later – on Monday, September 21 – at the Unitarian Hall in Newport to share our thoughts on the theme of Peace and to broaden out the campaign to more of the Island’s spiritual folk. A small and intimate meeting ensued but next year, we expect to advertise the event more widely and to give this worthwhile message a much higher profile on the Island.
This weekend (Sunday, September 27), of course, we will be meeting in a delightful woodland setting to consider the latest module in Emma’s Perennial Course in Living Druidry, to mark Blood Berry Moon, combined with a consideration of the vine and of the apple tree.
