On June 21, 2011, Fieldhaven Coven celebrated our 8th anniversary. Wow! Eight years is a pretty long time for a coven to survive. Our membership has waxed and waned over the years, and we're still here.
In the afternoon, we built a fire in the firepit. We used this to cook a pot of venison chili and bake several potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil. We just took those off the fire for supper when it started to rain.
Indoors, we ate supper and chatted. We talked about the coven website here, and discussed what we wanted to do for ritual. We went outside and danced briefly before ducking back inside for more discussion.
After the rain stopped, we went back to the ritual meadow and stirred up the fire, restarting it from the coals. We held our ritual. We had s'mores for "Cakes and Ale" despite intermittent drizzle. We even cooked a couple for Drake, our resident fire elemental. (Few things are cuter than watching a 30-foot dragon beg for marshmallows like an overgrown weiner dog.) Finally we went back inside.
All told, we had a wonderful day.
