NB - How we chose the dates:
The Charnwood Grove Rituals are being held at 15 degrees of the fixed astrological signs, which for non-Astrologers translates as the midpoint between the Equinoxes and Solstices. We reckoned as the Ancestors wouldn’t have worked with the Gregorian Calendar we don’t have to either. We’re dead authentic, we are.
