ALBAN HEFIN

July 23 2019

On July 23rd 2019 our grove had the opportunity to celebrate the Summer solstice together. We had a wonderful open public ritual hosted by my wife Karen with assistance from my self. The focus was on a little known God Garrus, the god of Hot Springs and self care as well as the sun. Very little about this god is known as he was appropriated by the romans and reinvented as Garrus Apollo. It felt appropriate as the workings for the ritual was the creation of a ritual bath we could then take home and enjoy. We had the full grove in attendance as well as four guests who had never been to one of our rituals.
