So relieved to get your account of Eve of St John Síofra however I only wish there had been celebrationsnof it near @ hand! As I've said before the Celtic festivals are not commemorated regularly enough. That's a lovely sexy woman with red hair near the rainbow; I only wish I'd have contact with her The picture with its colour and fine roots is also great. You advised us to light a candle well what I did was bring a serpentine, Connemara ink well holder out and touch plants and flowers with it and leave for some momments in the garden

Lovely reminder of our old ways and the importance of keeping them going as a way of sticking our 2 fingers up at the establishment, as much as celebrating our connection to the Earth and community.

Jumped over a small 'soitheach-teine' full of flames as it steadily burned through my dried herbs from a frantic gardening session. Dogs looked on in amazement.

Yes let's keep fighting back with our own magick against those evil spirits who taint our skies with their toxic concoctions.
