I mean, y'all didn't think I was gonna skip what's probably the biggest spirit offering tradition still practiced on this continent, did you? ;)

Spiritwork 

Solstice rite prep begins in earnest, and just in time. It wouldn't be a winter solstice ritual fire if it didn't involve an element of panic and desperation, I suppose. ;)

Offerings to the departed 

At my request, @Elanna asked the runes if the offerings and messages from last night's Silent Supper should be burned or buried.

It is done. It feels... Good isn't the right word. Satisfying. Complete. Peaceful.

Finished ritual space pics:
- Full view
- South marker (rose quartz)
- Summer solstice sunrise marker (obsidian)
- North marker (basalt)

Entrance marks summer solstice sunset, and you may be able to make out the winter solstice markers in the big pic.

And I'll save you all some time; everyone at game night has already made all the standard tauntaun jokes. ;) awoo.space/media/4L-7oHzaQ92NH

So how do I get a couple dozen folks from the PNW all down to Santa Fe at the same time? Because literally everyone I know needs to wander around this place with us.

This is maybe the most postfurry-vibe place I have ever seen.
