Tonight we held an esbat in the ritual meadow. We built a bonfire. (Note to self: select a fire-poking stick while building the bonfire, and before full dark.) For this we pulled dead field weeds out of the prairie meadow and other places; they burn nicely, and their removal will make mowing easier.
The bonfire was a bit slow to light, but better than last time. Once it was lit, it flared up We used a different structure of ritual than usual, and more free-form. For instance, we all walked around the circle to call Quarters. Most of the ritual consisted of a guided meditation. The full moon was very bright and clear.
