Lunar theme meeting at Hilde’s house. We’ll be meeting on the evening of a total eclipse of the Moon, hoping for clear weather.
The evening will roughly look as follows:
Arrive at 7pm, bring food to share for a pot luck dinner.
Session to start at around 8.30: sharing our experiences of the lunar cycle and what it means to us. This will move into meditation and later narrow down into the Full Moon and eclipses of the Moon.
At around 11pm we’ll go into the garden to experience the total eclipse, even if it is cloudy. It’s not because you can’t see it that it isn’t happening. So make sure you bring enough warm clothes: clear nights in March are still freezing cold.
People are welcome to stay the night afterwards. Please let me know in advance, so we can prepare a bed for you.
If you want to go home that evening and aren’t sure about public transport, let me know that, too and I can help you work it out.
My house is here, last house on the right on the corner with Queens Walk, the one with the blue door.

This is the poem I mentioned last night under the eclipsed moon for anyone who was part of that conversation. It has more of a Norse flavour than a Druidic one I think. Seems like fire and water are the most likely candidates.
Fire And Ice by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Thanks again Hilde, and the shadow of the earth.

Regrettably, we will have to cancel our Equinox celebration tomorrow, as our organiser is still feeling too ill to be outside.
Cilla is not able to stand in as host for the occasion, as she won’t be home in time to receive us, and doesn’t know the place Andrew was going to take us.
So given the short notice, it seems best to cancel the event. Sadly we won’t be able to celebrate as a group. I suggest we all take some time tomorrow to honour the Sun as it gains in strength, remembering each other – and Andrew in particular – as we do so.
Get better soon, Andrew!
Blessings of the growing light,
Hilde
