Flowers

Winter withdraws and spring blossoms in the Adelaide Hills. Just as the landscape puts on new robes, R�is�n Clare and the community of Pictish Spirit move with the seasonal rhythms to find new forms with which to live and grow. The journey of her vocation as a healer and as mentor to her Braves continues for R�is�n, bringing difficult matters of body and soul into focus, and honing her skill as a walker between worlds. Bonds of friendship and love deepen, and Adam and Ben prepare to make a public commitment to each other at the Spring Equinox, a time of balance and increasing warmth and light. Oaths are exchanged to reflect the core ideals of partnership they espouse and to prepare for the seasonal crest of the annual round at the summer solstice, when personal love must expand to include all that is sovereign in themselves and in the earth.
