I'm going to my first "Goddess Gathering" tonight with a trusted friend of mine. She has these other girl friends who get together within 3 days of the full moon every month and do a small ritual outdoors and then feast inside one of their homes. I haven't been able to attend one of these for four months but tonight's the night.

I'm a little nervous. Mostly because I have never met most of these women which would make anyone a bit uncomfortable. But they're friends of my dear friend so they've got to be good people. Also nervous because I've never participated in a ritual outside of my own home or yard and with people other than my family or closest friends. Finally, am additionally nervous because this time they're doing the ritual at a park downtown. It's known as a park where much of the gay community of Denver gather and it's only a couple blocks from Colfax. I don't mind this park, personally - I used to live just three blocks from it, I walked in the AIDS walk three years in a row through this park, and have had a couple picnics there with friends. But I've never been there at night. I am such a suburban whitebread girl so I have to admit I'm nervous. It'll be okay, I'm sure and part of me is looking forward to it. Wish me luck!
