June Full Moon Ritual at the Beach

The day was lovely, warm, nice breeze blowing people all over the place at the beach.  It was Gaia at her finest!  After sitting and relaxing for a couple of hours in our spot on the beach, under a lovely grove of trees my friends started to arrive.  We set up the altar for Mother Moon, put out our blue vessals of water for her to bless and we sat back and enjoyed each other's company until it was time.
Nada cast our circle, we called the quarters, read the drawing down of the moon and it was WONDERFUL!  We drank mead (gross, just sayin') at strawberries dipped in honey and Nona's chocolate chip cookies!  We read poetry to the Moon as she began to rise above the lake, Orange and BIG like a harvest moon!  We meditated had our healing circle then thanked each quarter then closed the circle.
No one really wanted to leave and more people showed up during all of this new friends and old had a wonderful time.  We wrote on lake stones what we wanted to release and other the other side what we wanted to bring into our lives and part of the ritual was returning them to the lake... so much fun!

This time of year I do miss being in a coven. However, once I really start thinking about it I come to the conclusion that I really am a solitary at heart.
