A Taste of The Witting

Imagine...you arrive at a beautiful country setting in the late afternoon just as the light is beginning to soften.  You are greeted and welcomed to The Witting, given a name badge and small gift bag.  The other women who are snacking and chatting and you join them.  Excitement and anticipation fills the air. Soon, you are elbow deep in beads and ribbons, feathers and bells, glue and charms, creating something unique for yourself from scratch for the first time in a long time.

Next, your guide for this evening's journey leads you in drumming your energy into your new creation to make it well and truly yours. And you follow the others outside to gather in the circle and be seated.  There is a fire pit in the middle with flames dancing in it. Tucked in your gift bag is a list of ideas, habits and traits you wish to release and another list of affirmations, prayers and hopes for your future.

Each women in the circle invokes the energy of one or more ancestress whose energy she wishes to have with her this night. After each name is called a bell rings. As you look around the circle, you see smiles and tears and feel a sense of comfort and safety in this gathering.

The sun sets and stars begin to glow. Slowly, a women approaches the fire to release the old and annouce the new.  There is power in the words spoken.  There is power in the words written. There is power in the words transmuted by the fire and taken up to the universe and the heavens.

One after another, more and more is revealed, fears are released, intentions are shared and strengthened by your presence and that of all the others.  After your turn, you feel unburdened, lighter, like dancing.
