Fire Rituals
This weekend I actually got to use the fire pit again for the first time in a while. We built the fire pit back in April, but between many things including the weather we haven’t done anything with it despite the intention.
A few weeks ago a tree fell down in our back yard, and over the past few weeks my husband and a friend of his have been gradually taking it apart, finally this weekend it was all chopped down and the weather was good enough that we could get a fire going. We broke down the bigger chunks of tree and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, and Kore and I also did a small ritual for a few friends of the family, praying for them to have easier times coming and better able to find balance. It was nice and relaxed, and the energy was really good. I’m very happy with the way things went, and I’m looking forward to being able to use the fire pit in the future, more often.
We have a lot of wood pieces left over from our recent construction project, and if the weather stays this crisp and nice that we can use it again. It’s a perfect time of year, coming into winter now.
