Wild Onion Grove, ADF: November 2011
http://wild-onion-grove.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Thursday, November 24, 2011. As is our tradition, we held Samhain under the U.A.O.D Druid monument. In Forest Home cemetery. In Forest Park. The weather is always a bit of a gamble this time of year and there have been some very coooold Samhain celebrations but this year the weather was mild but very windy! The altar objects were arranged not as much for their aesthetics but as a way to anchor the altar cloth and lighter items! And the sacrifice was accepted. Chris then asked f...

Wild Onion Grove, ADF: August 2011
http://wild-onion-grove.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Saturday, August 6, 2011. So Lughnassadh did not go quite as expected. Just about everything that could go wrong, did. For starters, our location, Illinois Beach State Park, got shut down due to storm damage. So we quickly changed to Osterman Beach. Our new web logo thing I made. We did scale down a bit though as we would be carrying everything for the rite on public transportation, so we dropped the potluck. I made the amazing Irishgasm cupcakes. Colleen led the songs. After the r...

Wild Onion Grove, ADF: Litterbusters! Giving back to the Nature Spirits
http://wild-onion-grove.blogspot.com/2011/10/litterbusters-giving-back-to-nature.html
Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Giving back to the Nature Spirits. We had been talking for a while about doing something for the Nature Spirits and the land around the city, but we hadn't really done anything about it. However at Autumn Equinox the Nature Spirits called us out on it during the Grove Omen. So we finally got our butts in gear and volunteered with the Forest Preserve of Cook County. Our first task was litter removal and we chose Evans Field. All in all it was a fun day, ...

Wild Onion Grove, ADF: April 2012
http://wild-onion-grove.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Sunday, April 8, 2012. I just came across this on FaceBook and (after learning a bit more about the Ute) thought it would make a good Earth Mother invocation. Earth, Teach Me. Earth teach me quiet as the grasses are still with new light. Earth teach me suffering as old stones suffer with memory. Earth teach me humility as blossoms are humble with beginning. Earth teach me caring as mothers nurture their young. Earth teach me courage as the tree that stands alone. Pagan Parenting: T...

Wild Onion Grove, ADF: Spring Equinox 2011
http://wild-onion-grove.blogspot.com/2011/03/spring-equinox-2011.html
Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Freyja tile by Thalia Took. So we tried something new this year and had two Deities of the Occasion, Freyja and Frigg. Both are associated with fertility and spring and even though some think they are the same Goddess we don't think so, so we honored both as distinct entities. I felt I really dropped the ball on this one, starting with high expectations of painting paintings and writing litugy but failing to even procure my praise offering. The Triads went ...

Wild Onion Grove, ADF: Wild Onion Yule 2012
http://wild-onion-grove.blogspot.com/2012/02/wild-onion-yule-2012.html
Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Wednesday, February 1, 2012. Wild Onion Yule 2012. This year due to scheduling conflicts, we had Yule at Chris and Jack's house. (No worries though we will be back at Life Force Arts Center. In it's new location for Imbolc. Amazingly Chris' Odin plaque survived the Great Flood of 2011. With minimal damage so it graced the altar and we now have the Heimdallr Bifrost prayer beads. To use as a symbol of Heimdallr (our Gatekeeper for Norse style rites) as well. After the rite we stuffe...

Wild Onion Grove, ADF. Tuesday, November 20, 2012. Samhain 2012 - Signs and Portents. But it got me to thinking, how funny/odd/weird it was that for our Grove's traditional "Ancestor" rite I was wending off to be with one of my Ancestors - albeit one that was still alive and kicking. (Ask me one Yule - our "storytelling" rite - about frantically received texts from me after the rite. Sorry for the scare Caroline! So, was it a Deity speaking to me or just a weird twist of fate?
