Last night was our CUUPS Ostara Circle, a beautiful ritual led by Bonnie and based off a previous Ostara ritual composed by Dolores. We had 35 in the circle plus another 7 in childcare, which is a good turnout for us.
My week of preparation was helpful in a general sense, but I can’t say it made a huge difference in the way I experienced the ritual. Still, I think it was a good start, and I will definitely do it again in preparation for future sabbats. Huge spiritual leaps are rare – more frequently we make progress in bit and pieces, two steps forward and one step back. Patience and persistence are considered virtues for a reason.
I have little patience. Persistence, now that’s another matter…
