Rivendell Restored - Nuptiae 2022

On Saturday March 26th, 2022 we held our 47th consecutive performance of the Ancient Canaanite Spring Marriage ceremony in the newly restored outdoor temple at Rivendell here in Silverado. We took the restoration opportunity to create a cement circular patio for the henge (see photos) surrounded by a paved walk way around the circular temple, and leading out to the Pavilion of the Gods. We consecrated the patio circle with a 2500 year old paving stone from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Embedded in the center, directly under the altar. The ceremony was well attended: thirty members and guests. We set up the traditional May (March) Pole on the lawn alongside the henge. Baal and Astarte were portrayed by V.H. Frater Sith-Meth and Soror Morgana. Field and Vine were V.H. Soror Urania and V.H. Frater Solomon. Bardic Circle followed the ceremony enlivened by our honored guest the Poetess Mori. And so a good time was had by all.
