You are in a clearing in the woods. There is a path in front of you and you start walking on it. It winds turns etc. you are going to visit the ladys Orchard up ahead there is a monument to the sun lord, with out him there would be no orchard. The monument is here to honor him and the love the Lady holds for Him. Along side it are several hoes . It is traditional to look up at the sun in the sky feel his warmth on your skin and say "thank you " as you take your hoe. You walk on past his monument. And there are many people walking in the same direction as you are. This is the Ladys Orchard and what you do here in symbol is reflected in your life. What you do in your life is reflected here in symbol. Look around the Apple trees are blossoming white. It is the early part of the year. Out among the trees there are square boxes they hold the Bees who will pollinate the apple trees. You move on to a tree this one has large weeds around its base and under its limbs. The weeds take the water that the tree needs. You hoe them up and mix them into the earth around the trees base. You walk on to your next job. There is a group of people at one tree. This tree large and old and has too many dead branches. It is dying or dead already. The people are sawing off the main branches and putting them in a cart. You help them. Its time that the trunk be cut. And with a small crash its down. You help lift it up onto the cart going to the saw mill. This tree will become very beautiful furniture. Further along you come to an empty place in the orchard. There was a tree here but its gone. A person with a cart comes along and gives you a young tree it roots are bound in burlap. You dig a hole with your hoe for it where the old tree was . You put it in and pack the dirt around it. There is a prayer here that you should say "Lady of the Earth and Lord of the Sky bless this tree who is between you both." For the tree to grow well it needs water. You look around and see a rise of earth in a line its about three feet above the ground. You walk over to it and find a ditch in its middle filled with water. You walk along the ditch until you find a gate cut into the side where there is an upright board in a frame. You reach down and lift the board about an inch up and the water starts coming out from under it. Now you take your hoe and dig a small channel to your tree. Watch as the water flows to the tree and feel it being drawn up into the leaves. Look around you at the other trees the flowers have fallen off and now there are small green knobs that will become apples. Time and the season moves on the apples are almost ripe. You look out over the Ladys orchard and see a glow of ripeness beginning and growing as the apples become sweet. The glow grows and becomes stronger becoming the Goddess with the God standing behind her. She reaches out and offers you an apple that glows ripely, look into its glow It is your life and your harvest. Return to consciousness Good byes to Lord Lady and Brotherhood. Good byes to Quarters. Circle is drawn up energy goes to MERRY MEET AND MERRY PART AND MERRY MEET AGAIN. end.
