The Coven
“Patrick’s Day, 1981 Oh, Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I’m so drunk, I can hardly write. Ballynigel just put on a St. Paddy’s party to end all parties. All the townspeople, everyone, gathered together to have a good time in the village. Human or witch, we all agree on St. Paddy’s Day, the wearing of the green.
Pat O’Hearn dyed all his beer green, and it was sloshing into mugs, into pails, into shoes, anything. Old Towson gave some to his donkey, and that donkey has never been so tame or good-natured!... I laughed until I had to hold my sides in.
The Irish Cowboys played their music all afternoon right in the town green, and we all danced and pinched one another, and the kids were throwing cabbages and potatoes. We had a good day, and our dark time seems to be well and truly over.
Now I’m home, and I lit three green candles to the Goddess for prosperity and happiness. There’s a full moon tonight, so I have to sober up, dress warm, and go gather my luibh. The dock root down at the pond is ready for taking in, and there’s early violets, dandelions, and cattails, too, ready.MoreLess
