Lughnassah (Pool Rite Part Two)

Back by popular demand we held a second pool rite! This time we did it Celtic style, honoring Lugh and Tailtiu. This rite was kinda of special for us because we were officially giving Lugh a special place in our grove, i.e. the Celtic deity with which we are the closest.

So with him watching over us, we made our membership tokens that each Grove member gets after showing sustained interest and participation in our community. These tokens were cut from the trunk of the Yule tree we saved from our first Yule together. They bear the symbol of our group on one side and the name of our grove on the other. The idea was for our grove members to wear them to all grove activities and rituals so as to distinguish members from guests, show pride, team building, yadda, yadda, yadda.

The omen was good, so we retired to the jacuzzi for another sumbel... we Druids really have it tough, don't we.... LOL!
