The annual Full Moon Ritual at the orchard of one of our
friends. It is an amazing place where two ley lines cross
and the energies are amazing. We have a mixed group, and
our ritual is to give thanks for the abundance of the
season, Full Moon, followed by apple picking for all.
The apples are then used for our Samhain gathering.

Our usual Samhain gathering, a family affair with anyone
welcome. We gathered together at Annabell and CK's home
and enjoyed seasonal food followed by apple crumbles made
with our Full Moon harvest.
The ceremony to remember our loved ones who have passed
on, was very simple. We laid out a Samhain altar with
a circle of candles, and each in turn went to the altar
to light as many candles as need be in remembrance.
November 29th Fund-raiser
Marie opened up her home to friends and family, offering
home made seasonal soup and home made cakes. Although
it didn't result in a great financial gain, any amount
helps, and it was great to gather people together.
