Oral History on the Go

Winter Nights

Last evening Hammerstead was honored to host (again) the Kindred of Ravenswood for our Winter Nights blot and sumbel. Last year it coincided with a mini-Moot by the Hoosier Heathen Alliance, but this year, well, time and money dictated no moot, mini or otherwise. But 15 good folks showed up for an evening of heathen fellowship, around a roaring fire. The weather was perfect - crisp without being cold, and clear as a bell.

Today was a day for sleep and recovery ... in fact, I'm off to bed now.
