I think I'm going to be sick.

I was dying for some humor. Forgive me.

Heya guys.  I got your message, and an email has been sent out to the Green Circle folks.  At the very least you will have little ol' me in my circle praying my heart out at the same time you all are.  At the most, hopefully I will be able to pull some others in with me, so many raisings of power will be happening at once.

Keep me posted if there are any changes to your prayers, and may our intentions and prayers be heard!

-Allison

Thanks, Alli! We'll be with you in spirit, too!

What time is everyone getting to the Grove on Friday?
What should I bring?

I will be there...probably in the morning to start >slowly< working on the ivy.  I have really messed my back up in the past pulling that "stuff" out so I know to take it slow and easy. 

[pheonix_seabhac]

I will be there as early as I can, I don't get home from work until 5 at the earliest.

I will be there by 7 if everything goes alright.  Drama in daughter's life right now, so she and Jaylynn take 1st importance at the moment.  Where is the Wishing Well posted at?

[lindowyn]

We're suiting up and getting ready to head out to the Grove to start work on some of that ivy. I'm going to bring a radio and my ipod (and extension cord) to assist with the ivy pulling efforts.

[carynml]

Oh! Shoot, then I will get myself up there too!

[lindowyn]

Half an hour later, Taryn is still looking for her pants. LOL! Take your time!

unfortunately Bennu and I have both come down with a combo upper respiratory/GI bug and are too sick to attend tonight. We are both soooo sorry.

Hope you both feel better soon.

I lit the tiki torches around the porch, lit incense out in the flowerbeds and when I sat down to join in spirit around 7:30, I saw this enormous bird fly overhead, followed by a blackbird harrassing it.  It was NOT a hawk, but much bigger.  It flew effortlessly and its wingspan was at least 4 feet.  Differant shades of brown.  It moved like a bird of prey.  In any case, I thought it was something to see right as I started to join in with you up at the grove. 

How was it?  What was said and done in the ritual? How many showed up?

[lindowyn]

I think we had approximately 8 people, so it was very intimate but also very powerful. I could literally feel the presence of all of the people who were attending in spirit, to the point I was -sure- I could feel hands on my shoulders.

Also, I'm fairly certain Thor hung around even after we said goodbye, so this could get interesting. According to the Omen Will drew (using the Elder Futhark), he firmly believes that Thor and Jorth have taken up the task we have asked them to assist us with.

The omen was a past, present, future read. Kelly has better details than I, as she scribed it down for the ritual. Feel free to add, Kelly.

Here's what we got:

(past) Jeran http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jera
(present) Sowilo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sowilo
(future) Thurisaz (Thor's Rune) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/*%C3%BEurisaz

Again, Kelly can clarify better (and so can Will) but I believe it was read along the lines of: We have lived well in the past, but gone are the times of letting momma earth/other people clean up after our messes. Currently, we are experiencing an utter catastrophe, but in the future Thor will clear/shape the paths. It is a potent omen.

Attaching photos of the altar, Thor's hammer, and the omen.
