A chuckle from Saturday's event to get you going this morning with Tom and Alex 😁
Tug of war master, Alex Tyler, led the teams through some really fun sessions testing their strength and strategies 😁
A great bit of gusty singing in rounds to close off the event yesterday 🎶
The White Raven 2 day Norse wedding 🌿
The couple undergo separate rituals the day prior. This involves a number of rituals including a special cleansing ceremony - first the kransen (golden head circlet) would be solemnly removed from the bride's head and wrapped to be put away for the bride until the birth of a daughter or granddaughter of her own. The next step in the bride's preparations is a visit to a clean water 💧 source where she undergoes a symbolic cleansing of all that has been before, the washing away of her maiden status. The purification from the primal waters preparing her for her mystical role as wife, lover, mother. Herbs, flowers 🌺 or oils can be added to the process both for their cleansing and healing properties as well as their scent. The groom undergoes the same pre-wedding cleaninsing rite.

What a weekend at Solskin - A Pagan & Heathen Festival and I had the wonderful privilege of meeting Bib and Linda of Bibs Pyrography Crafts who, after discussing the design I wanted, went home from a long festival weekend and made this totally awesome bespoke seat for me...
