Thank you! We had a great time! (And I posted that JUST as I was running out the door, so that's why it took me two days to reply!)

Was a lovely Mabon this year. (I usually call it equinox so the Muggles have a chance of understanding, too.)

[annulvapore.livejournal.com]

LOL "the Muggles"

Yeah, guess they are muggles...

*shrugs* What else would we call them? It makes sense to me!

Have a fab Mabon! Beauty, balance and delight, and all that. :-)

Thanks! We had a fantastic time. I did a solo ritual in Herne's Hollow, but then joined in the larger ritual at the main pavilion after dusk. It was fun - we torched poor John Barley-Corn, a scarecrow that we'd filled with apples that each of us had bitten to cast our own personal spells and Harvest thanks, and we mounted the whole thing on top of the main bonfire, and everyone put their own candles into the pyre to light it. T'was fun!

Wow, that does sound like fun! I love big, theatrical rituals like that, but I can only ever seem to manage low-key. I dedicated some new tools and did a little solo spell-casting.

Ours was low-key this year, and unofficial. Still, we managed to stay true to the spirit of things. I sang at a cappella on Open Mike Night at a local cafe: John Barleycorn, All Good Gifts and Parting Glass. We went apple-picking and supported our local farmers' markets. I lit a few autumn candles and gave thanks. Mainly, I meditated on the good things in my life right now, like a home, family, friends, etc. Some of the contacts that I had made and plans that I had put into motion have begun to bear fruit.

Merry Mabon to you both.

I was thinking of you when I found this little gem on youtube:





Have a great weekend. Don't do anything the Torchwood crew wouldn't do. LOL

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Nothing the Torchwood crew wouldn't do, eh? So, sky's the limit! :D

We had an awesome time, thanks!

And... this is fucking hysterical. Who write that song? Where did it come from? And who did the vid? I sporfled, I really did.

Song by Leslie Fish
Video by sectionDOTone on YouTube

Originally written for the Star Trek fandom about a decade ago, it suits the Torchwood team pretty well. It's been a while since I had heard it last, at a sci-fi convention in Quincy. You haven't lived until you've seen a bunch of Klingons doing the YMCA...

No sooner had I posted a response than I clicked on YouTube link:

Oh dear. Just... oh dear.

What about seeing Harry Potter, Voldemort, and a dance-line of Snapes doing the YMCA? I've got the photos.

Hope you've had a blessed equinox! ;D I've had a pretty lovely day and night. ;D

We had a lovely time, thank you! Good friends, good feast, good beer. What more could you want in a harvest celebration?

Blessed Equinox!
