04 Sep 2004 Late Summer Ritual Bonfire Quiet

04 Sep 2004 Late Summer Ritual Bonfire Quiet ~ I love being on the land between festivals.  There is much quiet and Nature has full reign. The festival bonfire area has evolved over the years.  When I first started attending gatherings at Circle Sanctuary, this part of the land was not even developed.  It was still but an old fallow farm field.

29 Apr 2004 Beltane Bonfire Preparations

29 Apr 2004 Beltane Bonfire Preparations ~ Reed has been building our bonfires for more years than I have fingers and toes.  He and other volunteers clear the brush and downed trees on the land and we have a firewood supply.  On this bonfire pyre, notice that the remnants of evergreen boughs of Yule 2003 are stacked.
