Brigantica/Feb Eve 2011

[Lee]

The member of brython will be holding our celebrations honouring Briganti, Brighid, Bride, St Bride, next saturday on feb 5th - to coincide with the first slither of the new moon.

at around 7pm on the day we will each be marking the time as appropriate to each of us, but will all be sharing the triple toast;

to Briganti
to the gods of the season and returning growth
to the gods of the tribe

we would like to invite everyone to join us in doing so at this time

Heron, I hope you don't mind if I repost your words from before on this thread so everyone can find them easily if they wish to use them.

"Bride of our hearth
Bless this place
With warmth
With shelter
With fire that burns for us.

Bride of our streams
Of wells and water courses
Asperge our land
With rain
With dew.

Bride of the candles
Lit for your remembrance
Bright be your blessings
As the Sun climbs higher
In his Winter rising.

Bride of our company
Of links and friendship
Across Brigantia, the isles
Of your people:
Veil us within the bounds of belonging.”

Personally I will be using these words again as part of my celebrations

And on this occasion I will be with my parents too so will be inviting them to join with us as well.

[nellie]

I will certainly be joining you

[Sìle]

As it is a Saturday and I'm not working, I will be able to join in, too. Thank you for the words Heron, for reposting them Potia, and for the reminder Lee.

[Heron]

Thanks for re-posting the words Potia.

These belong to the tribe now and, of course, I'm happy for them to be used again this year by anyone who is joining us.
