Samhain 2002
Rivergrove
Mannanan is offered to as the Keeper of Ways as we open the Gates between the Worlds..
As has been our custom for many years, a wreath is passed through the congregation and black ribbons are tied to it as an offering to our personal, beloved dead.
The StoneCreed Grove Samhain Hallows for 2002.
Our longest and most complex rite, Samhain includes an extended trance vision of the Underworld Feasting Hall of the Dead.
The usual pre-ritual socializing and carousing..
Despite the relative chill outside, we were able to batten down the hatches and create a nice snug hall.
A StoneCreed Grove Samhain wouldn't be right without pumpkin carving!
