Greetings to the world,

Though winter itself is often seen as death, it should not be taken
lightly for the cold time it is, for it is the renewal and resting time
of the earth itself. Winter is the time when all of nature gives back
what it has taken through the year, a time of quiet repose and
contemplation.

Hope, tranquility and cleansing.

I invite you all to join me as the clock turns to zero hour on the 19th
of Variach for a celebration and ritual cleansing in Winter's name.

Listen for my herald within the day leading up to the festival, for I
shall provide transportation to the camp by the Zaphyr where we shall
all gather. Just contact me then to let me know you wish to come.

Bring song, poetry and yourself to share in the food and drink to follow
the ritual.

Gwendolyn De'vyen
