firepit_stack.giffirepit.jpgOur current Garden project is a permanent fire pit.

We are building it from stones donated by our individual members, then holding a public dedication ritual, a very serious ritual involving marshmallows.

If you can, stop by Lowes Building Supply across from Crosssroads Plaza in Cary and pick up a stone.  We have all 24 of the stones we need to build the firepit.

We will have a small ceremony at Pagans' Night Out on Friday, November 12th.  Did I mention marshmallows?

Oak_and_Holly_King.jpgMidsummer Mummers Elemental Ritual

Join the Church of the Earth on Sunday, June 20th at 8pm to celebrate Midsummer!  We will present a Midsummer Mummers Elemental Ritual that might be emotionally powerful, that could be engaging, that might even change your life, but will probably just rhyme.
 
We will be exploring the fall of the Golden Oak King and the rise of the Darksome Holly King, marking the longest day of the year and beginning the long journey back into the darker months.

Jennifer Hudson as Effie Whit in Dreamgirls

Sometimes you are sad and mad and tired and frustrated and then -- then you hear someone sing or see someone paint and it changes things…. It reminds you of creation, and you laugh and you cry because you remember in your bones that there is a point.

So, anyway, I just watched the second half of Dreamgirls. When Effie White (Jennifer Hudson) was singing “I Am Changing” in her last chance audition for a comeback, it affected me. I had not watched most of the movie that lead up to it, but it had been a really trying day, so by the time she finished, I was wrecked.

And then -- THEN, she sang "Let it Be" on the Hope for Haiti telethon. I'm getting all faklempt just remembering it, and I don't even know what faklempt means. I can't wait to see what she will do next.
