Posted in esbat, wicca, witchcraft, tagged , , , , , , , on May 8, 2016| Leave a Comment »

The members of SLPS met on Saturday, May 7, 2016, to honor the goddess and mothers for Mother’s Day. The ritual began at 9pm, under the stars and damp earth. Hathor was pleased, the goddess of Mothers from Egypt. She accepted the offerings of home made dark fudge chocolate cake and strawberry lemonade. As a goal for the new moon, the coven decided to learn quilting, using pieces from old clothes to provide quilts for the needy, reduce waste, and as a fundraiser for the society.
