It was bloody and fun as always. Thank you all who participated.

Naked Wednesday was in honour of inti this time. We all met in the beautiful cave, Summer had decorated for the event.
Once everyone had settled, it was time to get our hair painted in the red colour of the sun.
After most had their hair coloured red, it was time for a series of rituals. Atan said a prayer and then Summer and Whisper put Bubba’s wedding bowl together again so he could remarry.
Belleniko entertained with stories of Bubba’s marriage before we head to the Xoco sacred circle to continue the celebration.
Thank you everyone for participating!
The 15th Naked Wednesday was celebrated with a Sack Race, cause the gods love happy people!

We will continue and renew our care for each other and serve the cause of native peoples to the honour of our gods and our ancestors.
