This is the write up that I will be using when we finally get to celebrate ritual together. This year has been particularly hard for get togethers, with bad weather, scheduling, etc. Our next Grove ritual is on Lughnasadh. Looking forward to a full ADF ritual, as well as rededicating myself to Northern Roots. 

  The pace offered by the Wheel of the Year book is a bit overwhelming; but, if I just get into good habits, which I can do (yes I can, stop laughing!!), it won't feel so bad. I will post this write up, and then answer the questions from the WotY week after the Lughnasadh ritual. I think it will be better than trying to remember old rituals, etc.
