Wedding Update, Plus Blessing a Friend's Home

These druids in the pic have the coolest outfits! Apparently, they're conducting a sort of blessing--which is similar to what I'll be doing next week! I'm traveling to visit a friend who recently moved into a new home on her family's farm, and I've put together a blessing ritual for her house and the land. Can't wait! I really enjoyed learning all the various ritual techniques from the shamanic mystery school, and it's so fun to put it into practice.

At one time, I thought blessings and rituals in general were silly, but that was just my twisted Protestant upbringing talking. Rituals are fun! All the pre-Christian religions did it, and the more liturgical Christian sects still do it today, such as Catholics and Episcopalians. And a lot of those Christian rituals even have pagan roots.

By the way, no word from the bride that I emailed last week about conducting her wedding. I guess she's found someone else. Oh well, there will be others!
