Tonight I light the candles for the first time.
There’s a particular feeling that comes with setting up a Salt Circle ~ the water warming, the salt waiting, my kitchen quietly becoming something other than a room.
I’ve been telling folk tales on my retreats in Anglesey for a while now ~ stories that belong to coastal landscapes, read aloud by candlelight to small groups of women before bed. Something always settles in those evenings that I’ve stopped trying to name.
Tonight I bring that world home.
To the Fens. For the first time.
I won’t pretend I’m not a little nervous. New things deserve that.
If you’re curious ~ Salt Circle runs fortnightly through spring and into summer, here in Ely.
Thursday evenings.
Warm water, salt, a story, a little quiet.
