Fortunate Fires marked the gateway to summer as #TamesisGrove celebrated our #Bealtaine ritual.
May the blessings of the flames bring us what we need as the wheel turns. /|\

The balance of light and dark, gratitude for spring time and dramatic thunder and lightning. All part of a lovely Spring Equinox celebration with the Tamesis Druids. /|\

Happy Birthday Pamela “Pixie” Coleman Smith, 1877-1951. Visionary artist and member of the Golden Dawn who illustrated the 1909 Rider Waite Smith #tarot which is arguably the most recognisable modern deck.

I never see #PlayingCards just laying in the street. Some folk seem to find them all over the place. Nothing so evocative as an Ace of Spades ♠️, just a cheery yellow one Uno card. But it made me smile. #UrbanDruidry /|\

Celebrating the waking of the land with the Tamesis Grove druids. Windswept hilltop? Check. Stone circle? Check. Mud? You better believe it.
The magical so often meets the mundane. /|\
