Say hello to the Bandit

[trystinn]

We managed to catch the little Dutchie this evening, with help from a few Ostara celebrants. We're fairly confident this is a young female, unanimously renamed Bandit due to the highjinks involved with catching her. Temporarily living in a cage on the back porch with the Porch Buns, I'll put the word out on Monday in the futile hope someone is looking for her.

Awwwww. It is too cute.

It strikes me that dragooning a bunch of Ostara celebrants into playing a round of "Catch The Bunny" is somehow a perfectly apt thing to be doing for Ostara.

And it's a really original addition to the order of ritual. Way cool.

I was thinking the same thing, what a perfect way to celebrate?

ROFLOL...does seem quite... uh...appropriate.

Perfect!

How do you know s/he wasn't out delivering eggs???

*giggle*

Good job, and a great addition to your ritual.

There is something very special about a Dutchie and this one is so very little.

It was an oddly very appropriate way to begin Ostara, especially as one of our members was adopting a rabbit from us that same evening.

Oh yeah, its Ostara every day of the year around here.

No eggs, but the cauldron full of eggs went over very well. Everyone went home to look up Futhark and Ogham runes - a great way to teach, and a little mystery to boot.

At this point, we're rarely without a rabbit in circle. And cat. I dunno what drug they slipped Fudgie, but he was rolling orgasmically around the circle, zipping back and forth like a kitten and generally having a ball. Not at all what I typically expect of our eight year old cat, lemme tell you.

I'm so glad your circle went well!

Funny thing about cats and circle. Bill (somewhere in the 8-9 year old range) will also scoot around in circle periodically, skidding to a halt for no reason, interacting with his invisible friends, and in all ways acting like Cat on Crack. If I had a vid camera, I'd take footage of him getting off on a catnip toy. He's painfully cute.

There is something about cats in circle, isn't there? I have no idea what we'd ever do should we get a member allergic to animals, I hate to think of it, frankly.

The Moon in My Room went over very well with those who hadn't yet seen it and really does provide nice ambient light which makes lighting those candles a little less scary!

You like badgers?!?

This image is from a picture I took of a small bone china trinket dish, which I bought for my beloved after a motorcycle trip to Myrtle Beach. Our faces got *very* sunburned . . . but we were wearing goggles . . .

You like badgers?!?

Yeah, just sorta. Or maybe it's that they like me. But I didn't pick Brock as a name to be known by in the pagan community because I'm related to a former Tennessee senator.

I try not to read into people's "names," since one never knows. ;)

I like their tenacity.
