SUMMER SOLSTICE IN MT. SHASTA

Yeshe Matthews, Priestess of Mt. Shasta Goddess Temple, and owner of The Sacred Well in Dunsmuir, organized an event titled Women in White Walk for Peace.  We met at the plaza in town and walked together down North Mt. Shasta Boulevard to the City Park where the Sacramento River Headwaters spring up.

Our presiding priestess Yeshe led a ritual where we each dipped our vessels in the water and filled them with the clear liquid.  We sang mantras to bless the water before pouring it back to spread our blessings all the way down the river to the Ocean Mother.

Afterwards, we shared food and divination cards before walking back to the plaza.

It was really great for me to meet these lovely ladies.  I had met Yeshe once with Indigo when we visited with her at the local meeting place, The Chai Shop.  

 I was acquainted with Jessica B. through The Web, so it was nice to meet her in person.  She had her niece with her from Sacramento.  

The other two ladies were friends of Yeshe's from out of town.  I have a feeling they will be back to celebrate various holy days with us in the  future. ​
