GOG's Autumn Equinox Ritual to the Earth Mother.

Tricia led our beautiful autumn equinox ritual to the Earth Mother. She'd pointed out that we invoke Her at the beginning of each ritual we do, but we'd never done a ritual just for Her. Now we have, and it felt good. 45 people attended. (10 new attendees!) 19 participated by taking ritual parts, and many others contributed praise offerings (mostly offerings from their gardens). Bob and Chuck were our very capable kitchen witches, making sure the multitude of food fed the multitude of worshippers. Tricia was a very natural ritual leader, comfortable and inspiring. Norma helped with the songs, many of which were not our usual song selections. The altar was beautiful, the day was lovely (it was supposed to rain, but despite a few scattered drops, the sky turned bluer and bluer as the ritual progressed). And our omens were good ones. Praise the Earth Mother!
