Lughnasadh 1998 Newsletter My 2 Cents By Adrianne

Sounds like a good place to start, looking after that which is the Lord and Lady's. Now I don't mean for this feature to be a soapbox lecture on what you should all be out doing, because only you, your tradition and your relationship to the Goddess and God can dictate that. This feature is designed only to share ideas and to give you something to think about. Individual choices are left up to you, as are the reasons you do them, if you choose to do them at all.

What else, then, can we add to our list of possible acts of service?

• Ritual and worship to celebrate the Goddess and God.
• Donate goods to charity (a tin drive through your local group, or gathering your groups old clothes and donating them).
• Get involved with events like Clean up Australia Day, or just going and cleaning your favourite part of bush or beachland any time of the year.
• Volunteer to spend some time with the older folk of our community.
• Keep and eye on the flora and fauna in your local area.
• Preserve our precious elements, eg. recycle more, make a conscious effort to throw less waste in the garbage bin.
• Report all acts of environmental vandalism to the proper authorities.
• Educate people about how to look after our Mother Earth and her waters.

What else can you think of as a way of honouring and protecting your world, and all that is contained within it?
