Hi there– Do you have a date/time for your Samhain rite this year? We here in Black Bear Grove want to do some traveling this year to visit other groves’ rites in between our own, and you’re one of our closest neighbors. Hopefully we can meet up soon.
Blessings,
Ann

Ann,
We’ve not yet set a date for Samhain. We’ll likely be doing that at our September business meeting. When we’ve set the date, I’ll be sure to email you. We’ll also update our web site with that information. We’re always glad to have fresh faces!
In Frith,
Heather
