The weekend just gone was very busy for me.
One of our Celtic Moon sisters, Fawn, was back in the UK after being away since the Pagan Pilgrimage last year!
After work on Saturday I went to pick up Fawn from the train station and then we were off to Dartford to see the rest of the Celtic Moon clan for a social get together.
Also when I arrived at Breaca's home she told me she had a surprise for me which turned out to be a beautiful sculpture of my patron Goddess Elen playing a drum. I absolutely adore it!

Afterward the meet up I drove back home and Fawn stayed the night with me as she needed to go back to Canterbury and I was headed there the next day because of work. Plus she got to meet Keijo!

The next day I dropped Fawn off in Canterbury although I couldn't say goodbye very well so I will say it here.
It was lovely to see you again Fawn. Good luck for the next stage of your journey and see you again later in the year. Xx
On Sunday night it was a trip over the Dartford bridge for the Celtic Moon Grove moot at Esther and Martin's abode. A lovely relaxing evening followed with chat, yummy soup and discussion about the future. Rather than drive home that night I decided to stay and enjoy E and M's company a little bit longer.
On Monday we went into town to trawl the charity shops and picked up some amazing bargains, including this little guy, who I just fell in love with and couldn't leave behind!
He is hand carved out of Meadswood from New Zealand and at a pound he was a steal!
Then Esther took me to the QD store and to the aisle which contained lots and lots of plain wooden boxes, perfect for pyrography. I almost brought their whole stock!
That afternoon I showed Violetstar the joys of pyrography and being a talented artist she took to it straight away.
That evening I went along to the Southend Dolmen grove moot and Imbolc ritual.
This was a lovely gathering of souls which also included a talk on natural dentistry and a raffle. I didn't win anything from the raffle but I did put in one of my pyrography key rings as a prize which someone won and said they really liked it.
At the end of the night we gathered in a circle to do some drumming which I really enjoyed and once the beat picked up and I felt it I began chanting. I wasn't expecting to do so but because I have been attending the Shamanic drumming circles over on the Isle of Sheppey where shamanic drumming includes chanting I just couldn't help it.
When the drums quietened and came to a stop I was surprised that people actually thanked me for doing the chanting!
As it was quite late one I was invited stay over another night with the lovely Esther and Martin.
The next day saw us going back to QD's to get more wooden boxes and doing more pyrography.

Day like these don't come around often but I love it when they do!
