Rites of Passage

At this past Beltaine gathering at DragonHills, Georgia a Memorial Circle headed by Sabra & Scotti was conducted for the Elder Sam Bear also know by many other names. The rite was done on May 3, 2002. His wife named Becky remains in his passing.
On May 11, 2002 a Funeral Circle was conducted at Lady Ariell & Lord Robert's Circle with Becky and a number of folks in attendance. An Elder of SerpentStone, Samuel "Snow Bear" Gwynn, left his earthly body. Sam was a founding member of many of the Southeast's - and indeed the U.S.'s - Pagan groups. Born to a Lakota mother on the Rosebud Reservation, Sam was raised partly in the Native American Tradition, and partly in a Family Tradition Celtic Craft family. He was a member of the US Special Forces, a Policeman, a Priest, a Teacher and Initiator to many.
At this Beltaine Gathering Lord Amergyn & Mari had their Handfasting Renewal / Wedding.
At this Beltaine Gathering Lord Solmage & Blackthorn took their Handfasting vows.
At this Beltaine Gathering Prism received her initiation into Clergy headed by Lady SeaDragon.
