What I Need....

[badstar]

It's been too long. I had plans for the night of the Lampteria ritual, but I just never did...I need the fire staff, some free space, a couple of bottles of lamp oil, a whole lotta water, and a night to just spin til I can't anymore. I need to hear the rushing flames and feel the contrast of heat and cold air on bare arms, and smell the burning oil, and feel my arms and shoulders hurting for a week....I need to exhaust myself. I need the clarity of that which immediately surrounds me and the fuzzy vague awareness of anything out of arm's immediate reach.

Oh, damn I just need the fire like I need air to breathe...

Hmmm...I guess the easiest way to arrange this is probably going to be to request to use the grove space and convince at least one other person to be there with me for safety. otherwise...who knows when I can do that next.

What I really need is to be surrounded by lots of other people spinning around a bonfire...but I'm going to Wellspring, so I won't be at PDF in May, that will have to wait til the fall- and I am absolutely determined to get there this fall.

If you need a place to do a fire ritual, we can provide it, if you don't mind a bunch of assorted pagans staring and maybe clapping. We'll feed you, too. *grin*

it's not a ritual that I need, the grove is just the closest place that I can do that sort of thing in the middle of the night.

The offer is appreciated but unfortunately, it's a little hard to get up to York county without a car. Though I'm curious, what place are you thinking of?

Amber Moon (my little group) has access to two private areas owned by our members, sufficiently private to allow nudity, dancing, etc. One area is in the middle of the woods in Churchville, of all places, and has a stone circle with a central bon fire pit. The other is Farnham's place, which comes equipped with lots of private space, though not quite as much as the other, and has a hot tub and a beer keg. ;)

We're not actually up in York county, actually. We're in Harford county, near the PA border.

Hmmm...why on earth did i think you were in York county?

LOL... No clue! We do go up that way, and Farnham happens to be in Pennsylvania near the Mason Dixon, but I'm in MD. We travel a lot, though.
