Usually I’m the lucky kind of gal and I seldom even get “skeeter” bites when I’m out and about at festivals. However, this time was different. I ended up with a spider bite behind my knee and one of my face. After my husband and I returned home, we did the usual head to toe mutual bug check and found that I had managed to acquire a tick as well. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am definitely a nature religion kind of gal, but I don’t exactly go as far as embracing the biting bug part of nature. Hitchhikers … Continue reading →
Closing ritual was held on Sunday morning at Phoenix Phyre, but I didn’t attend because, as I am sure everyone has figured out at this point, I don’t do morning anything well. So while I spent time with last minute chats with cherished friends, The Abyss packed away our stuff and trying to leave the site as it was before we came. Then there were, of course, goodbyes, hugs, and exchanges of contact information before we hopped into the car for the long drive home. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ POST GAME ~ What did we think about Phoenix Phyre Ostara 2012? In discussions … Continue reading →
Saturday was another stumble to the First Aid Tent for a cup of coffee and a period of malaise in a camp chair. (I’m so predictable in the mornings.) Then, we headed off to walk around for a little bit stopping by to see the Rupert’s Tales show that Kyrja & Randy presented at Phoenix Phyre. Our son thoroughly enjoyed the tales and songs. If you have never sat in on one of these children’s workshops, it is worthwhile and enjoyable even for adults. Afterwards, Kyrja and Randy stopped by to visit our hearth. Always love spending time with her … Continue reading →
On Friday morning, I got a chance to get my bones moving in some fashion again after consuming several cups of coffee. One of the many nice perks at Phoenix Phyre is that a drip coffee pot is available at the First Aid tent so you can run by and grab a quick cup while you are waiting for your own pot to brew. I asked Drew, the Events Coordinator of the festival, about the coffee and he indicated that the Phoenix Phamily had determined that coffee was a medical necessity and I completely agree. A good cup of coffee … Continue reading →
Thursday night at the Phoenix Phyre Ostara Festival, we attended a Viking Sumbel hosted by our new friend, Leraje. The Sumbel consists of a series of “toasts” and is one of the most common celebrations for Vikings to perform for a variety of occasions including the greeting of guests in order to strengthen the bond in the Community. The various toasts gives everyone an opportunity to get to know some basic information about each other as well as their beliefs and moral codes. Leraje presented a rather large and impressive horn for the toasting and explained the usual sequence during Sumbels. … Continue reading →
It’s been six or seven years since I’ve visited my friends at Phoenix Phyre and I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to share Ostara with them this year. The weather has been absolutely glorious coming into the festival with a few very light quick-passing showers that we all expected in spring. While they are cooling, it doesn’t seem to raise the humidity. Long travels are difficult for me with my current pain issues, but I was blessed with wonderful friends who let me spend the night prior to festival in their home and had the opportunity to … Continue reading →
If you are in the Southwest area of Florida or planning on being down there this weekend, you can’t go wrong with going to Ostara Night, which is facilitated by the same folks that present Beltaine Flame and Yule Like It. You’ll have to register at the front gate since the festival has already begun, but it’s a worthwhile trip. I haven’t personally had an opportunity to visit their festivals yet, but my many wonderful friends in the area tell me it’s amazing and that they have really enjoyed their experience with evening concerts ramping up the Ostara energies and … Continue reading →
