The Goddess told us that we should do our rites in Mirth and Reverence and sometimes we wonder if the Mirth is caused by ourselves or by the Goddess Eris who is ‘doing’ the God Murphy in a vat of raspberry jell-o.
So send in your funny ritual stories and I’ll post them here. And don’t forget to tell me how you want your name listed.
To Start:
We did an important Public Mabon Ritual written by the HPS and this included me as HP visiting three women who represented the various aspects of the Goddess. All was well until I am kneeling before the Maiden talking about her being my lover and such when we heard snickering from the crowd. It seemed that the HPS forgot something… The Maiden, my ‘lover’ was in mundane life my daughter!
One Yule Sabbat we were Skyclad in the desert and I reached for the Cup only to find a large scorpion on the rim drinking the wine.
Now I am well within his striking range but I am not worried because I know a spell to prevent a scorpion from biting.
Then I realize that scorpions don’t bite, they sting!
Quandry? Do I jerk away and hpe I am faster than the scorpion’s tail? Do I tell the coven about the giant scorpion on the Cup and watch a half dozen naked and drunk Witches run through a cactus-filled desert at 2am?
You guess what I did.
