This weekend was SerpentStone Samhain Gathering. The weather was
\nperfect, although chilly at night. I was overwhelmed by the love
\nand support my Family gave me. I had a wonderful time, it was
\nmuch better than expected and almost as good as I might have dreamed
\nof. I got love, hugs, and support from people I was not expecting
\nit from, no new shocks of someone I thought was my friend treating me
\nbadly… I was saddened by one or two people that I expected to
\nnot treat me well that lived up to that expectation, but even that was
\nkept in the background, nobody went off in my face. I also got to
\nparticipate in the memorial service for my dear sister Rhea, aka Elf,
\nwho passed earlier this year, resulting in many much-needed tears of
\nloss, joy, and sharing with others.<\/p>\n
But the understanding that Lady Rhiannon had with the landowners turned
\nout to be different from the wishes of the landowners. Somebody –
\nwho did not know me – heard I was there and told the landowners, who
\nthen told Rhiannon that I had been banned from the site. All this
\nwas late on Saturday, I had been there for nearly 2 days with no
\nproblems. As Rhiannon tearfully explained this to me, many of my
\nbeloved Family also turned out to give me aid and support. Money
\nwas given me for a motel room and Dreamfox drove me to the nearest
\naffordable motel, and I spent Saturday night there. This also
\ngave me a good chance to talk with Dreamfox, something which happens
\ntoo infrequently, and I was again astonished by the amount of love in
\nhis heart as I was by many others over this wonderful weekend.<\/p>\n
Sunday late morning my students came and picked me up the next day, after packing up our campsite.<\/p>\n
Yule Gathering will be at a site owned by Lady Rhiannon, whose daughter
\nDiana informed me that if I had any troubles with the owners, she would
\npersonally kick their asses… LOL<\/p>\n
I am so blessed to have such a wonderful Family – and that so many in that Family feel blessed by my spirit and contributions.<\/p>\n
Hugs,
\nMe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
