satisfiedOur theme this time was Stregheria, or Italian witchcraft. Its roots go back through Rome to Etruscan civilization. So we designed our ritual to feature aspects of the past, the present, and the future. We had a fine bonfire. And the ritual went well, even with a sizable number of novices in the group.
Other activities included a workshop on Stregheria as a tradition, a workshop on Tarot which is believed to come from Italy, and a potluck feast with Italian foods. After the scheduled activities, people hung around quite late. We did some Tarot readings and a few other things, and sat around talking.
I was reminded this weekend that our strength lies in our community. We take care of each other and share our lives. When that hurts, we hold on and support each other. We that brings us joy and success, we share with those who have less. Many people come and go; the community endures. What we do here will carry on beyond us.
