Along with Rev. Susan Parker-Wyndham and Rev. Caryn MacLuan, our own Rev. Michael J Dangler participated in this ritual. The video is designed to show how a simple blessing rite can be done with a minimal amount of ritual items. The rite was unscrpited and shows the basics of what happens at an ADF ritual. http://www.threecranes.org/rituals/woodland-blessing-vid.html Probably one of the most unique aspects of ADF ritual is the Praise Offering. Because the general public is called forth at nearly all rituals to make offerings and sing praises to the Kindreds, a bit of explanation is probably in order for our first-time visitors. . . http://www.threecranes.org/rituals/praise-offerings.html Three Cranes Grove, ADF, invites you to celebrate the Feast of Midsummer with us with not one but two rituals!
