Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

A woman gathering for Beltane

 

A comfortable Sunday afternoon... and a lovely center of our circle...with Goddesses and flowers galore!



I gave my pottery "Elements" pot to Linda, for her to have a portable altar for the 4 directions, the 4 elements of fire (shown here) water, air and earth.  I may have other photos of it, but I'm not sure. I didn't read any of  the Amulets of the Goddesses book, but it looks interesting. Linda leads lots of groups/circles, with 4 of them held yearly at the UU church here in Black Mountain. Of course we missed them in the last year.

I also brought the basil plant to share how wonderful it smells. I'm so glad to be able to deeply inhale the fragrence! 

Today's quote:

If you are stone, be magnetic;

if a plant, be sensitive;

if you are human, be love.

    1. Thanks, it was certainly a good experience. Lots of neighbors were curious of course, and one woman came and joined us for a song.
