In attendance was Guthrum, Fionnuala, Grainia, Eberwulf, Vollund, Brogan, Fiachara, and our guests from White Swallows Evja and Lolthgar Draconis.
Imbolc started with sausage making and approximately 20-24 pounds of sausage was made. Varieties included lamb, bratwurst, breakfast, spicey pork, and the four meats of the apocalypse sausage (beef, pork, lamb, and veal). The sausage tasters were all very happy and the potato slices that were cooked in the sausage grease were the best. Day board was provided by Grainia and Brogan and had quite the variety of foods. Guthrum made some cocktails for everyone who wished to participate.
When sausage making was done, we all prepared the feast. Feast consisted of: anraith coinín (rabbit stew), a variety of sausages and homemade mustard, sautéed cabbage, pottage, and spinach salad. The dessert was fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
After feast, Fionnuala provided all the supplies to make dhoop cones (incense cones). The place smelled wonderful.
Afterwards some people had to leave but those who stayed were able to continue the festivities deep into the night. Thank you everyone who could make it. This was so much fun.

Re: Imbolc 2024
It was a very nice and intimate event! Despite my uncharacteristic sobriety I had a great time.
