    Default Watch out here comes Mabon

    This Wednesday the 23rd is the equinox.
    You know:

    The Sumerian goddess Inanna is the incarnation of fertility and abundance. Inanna descended into the underworld where her sister, Ereshkigal, ruled. Erishkigal decreed that Inanna could only enter her world in the traditional ways -- stripping herself of her clothing and earthly posessions. By the time Inanna got there, Erishkigal had unleashed a series of plagues upon her sister, killing Inanna. While Inanna was visiting the underworld, the earth ceased to grow and produce. A vizier restored Inanna to life, and sent her back to earth. As she journeyed home, the earth was restored to its former glory.

    So, what plans do you have to celebrate? If your celebrations don't please the Gods you will suffer a very bad Winter Season.

    The clan will be gathering at the Ranch this year. Last year Festus got drunk on some Ripple he brought and went running through the National Forest after shaving with a concoction of cheap shave soaps he melted together and ran into a Black Bear who upon smelling the scents became quite aroused with Festus and chased him for miles.

    Inanna, Yes. Festus was just inane

    There is a sweat on Tuesday, but I have to return to work on Tuesday. I have made some tobacco ties for the ceremony, they will be burned in my absence.
