Loch Broom; in Scottish Gaelic, Loch
Bhraoin, meaning loch of rain showers.

The weather at
Location Z: On the west coast of Scotland a great deal of rainfall
occurs, because of the weather coming off the Atlantic. It averages for the
year a bit more than 50 inches at Loch Broom, autumn and winter being the
wettest seasons. On the east coast the annual rainfall is only about half as
much. The average daily maximum temperature for the year is a bit more than 46
°F. Temperatures for January and July are 38 °F and 57 °F respectively so it’s
not often even warm in high summer.
No historical weather data have been compiled for the mountain
top on which Loc. Z is located, but Jack says in the year that he’s been
working there the site averages 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than
Ullapool. Precipitation has been harder to measure since the site is often in
the clouds when at sea level it’s dry. And there is almost always a strong wind
across the site, making one wonder why the ancients built it there. Perhaps
they eventually wondered too and abandoned it for one on a plain with an
unobstructed view and better weather. Or perhaps it was originally to worship a
Rain Goddess.
The loch of
showers: That’s a very appropriate name and one I think fits it
better than the alternative suggestion that it was named for the gorse that is
so prevalent in the area. It turned out
that there had been torrential rains during the night so when we arrived (in
the rain and in mule drawn carriages) at the women’s tent on site we found the
forest fall that had been spread around the altars had all been washed away as
well as the remaining topsoil around the altars in which the gorse had been
growing revealing stone paving dressed and fitted to form flights of low steps to
reach the altars and gutters to channel the runoff away from the ceremonial
area. It was a good bit more clearing than Jack had done and the stone paving
and gutter system tied the entire site together as a single entity that it
lacked before.
Once on site the rain did not let up though its presence probably
prevented the temperature from falling much further into the 40s. However, the
wind chill from the 30 mph with gusts to 40 made it seem as though it was near
freezing and I thought hypothermia might be a real possibility. The wind that
moaned and howled through holes in the vertical stones seemed to come from
every direction and was almost terrifying. It was not good weather to be
celebrating on site, but I viewed it as a test of our dedication to the old
ways and His Grace agreed with me.
Cycles and
servants: As far as our cycles were concerned I was CD3 and bleeding
heavily on Sunday (9/22) which is normal for me. The Swan Twins were fertile
and wet with FCM, the first time since coming off Beyaz and Bea and Cyndi are
luteal. So the tale about women bleeding while around the altars of the site
regardless of where they are in their cycles doesn’t seem to apply to
concelebrating women. No other local women came up to the altar level, but I
had brought along my dresser who came over with us and who has had her tubes tied.
She was only two days past her fertile interval and she began to bleed heavily.
I had warned her about that possibility and she had brought along her Diva cup
so she was prepared, but it does appear that there may be truth in the story
that women not participating directly in the religious ceremony will bleed if
they are near the altars.
Altar assistance (a function that Jack kept running
smoothly) was carried out by the ten young male concelebrants who weren’t otherwise
engaged on the altars with their female partners having their turn at the
ritual of planting autumn seed. The assistance the men provided was to initially
help the women mount their altars and later help the male who had just been
drained of his vital fluids off his partner and the altar and back to the men’s
tent to rest and rehydrate since at the end of their encounter most of them
couldn’t stand by themselves.
.Males and
Gales: I was concerned that weather conditions (especially the
temperature) would prevent the men from maintaining erections. However, His
Grace had already minimized that possibility by ordering that our partners be fortified
for the challenge with the performance enhancer Cialis in addition to Gorse
brandy. Jack commanded the men’s tent and oversaw their donning robes of red
deer skins and administered the Gorse brandy.
His Grace commanded the women’s tent and was fascinated to
watch my dresser robe the women (we were all nude under our Red Deer robes) and
us putting on Freed Classic pointe shoes, dyed to match our robes. He had insisted
that we all bring and wear pointes while on the altars, but ones made with
traditional materials, even though there was no equivalent footwear in ancient
times. I thought they would be ruined for sure as in the rain the blocks would
quickly melt, but as fate would have it our Freeds survived almost unharmed. Shortly
before leaving our tent for the altars we all applied 10 ml of DiveGel+ from prefilled
disposable vaginal applicators and His Grace served us our portions of Gorse
Brandy. Then at 6:50 AM we left our tent to mount the altars for sunrise at
7:06 AM.
At that moment the wind picked up noticeably and the howling
from the wind through stone holes increased considerably in volume. The rain
stopped and the clouds lifted just off the site and raced overhead. It was like
walking into the wind from an industrial fan to get to the altars. By the time we staggered the twenty yards to
the altar site the wind had blown them dry. I was afraid for Odile that she would
be blown off the north altar and over the cliff, but the altar is positioned so
that it is protected from the wind except from the north which if she was blown
off by a north wind it would toss her against the north end of the primary
altar so from that perspective (in theory) she was relatively safe and she fearlessly
mounted and lay waiting for her first man.
Once all the women were on our altars the wind almost
stopped and the holey stone moans stopped entirely. It was eerily quiet. While the rain and wind had stopped there was
no break in the cloud cover and no sunrise to be seen as we kept on schedule
and (according to Jack who was acting as master of ceremonies) the first male
penetration on all five altars occurred exactly at sunrise, 7:06 AM.
Donald:
My first partner was Donald a strapping lad of 13 who was amazingly well
endowed for someone his age. He was such a sweet boy, who had learned about sex
from his older brother and an obliging ewe. By all accounts I was his first
penile/vaginal sex with a woman. He had never seen hairless pubes on an adult
woman and so was fascinated by the sight of my waxed vulva. At first he thought
from my size, my face in deep shadow and being hairless I was younger than he
was and wouldn’t mount me, which I first thought endearing until I realized his
balking might throw the ceremony off schedule. So I spoke to him in my most
dominating tone of voice and he quickly mounted me and properly positioned we
waited for 7:06 AM.
He had older and younger sisters and knew what a very young
girl looks like as well as having seen his older sister’s bikini trimmed bush.
I told him I was menstrual and he said he’d taken bleeding ewes so blood was no
problem if I felt OK and asked if I wanted him to use a condom. He said his
sister didn’t want to be around her boyfriend when she was bleeding. I said it was
important for this ceremony that he not use a condom as the purpose was to have
him plant his seed as deep in me as he could. He was so pleased as he like most
men hates condoms.
He lacked technique, but made up for it in energy, short
recycle time and enthusiasm so that he got off four times in twenty minutes,
the last two times I ripple gripped him while I was breastfeeding him. Who knew
that he was fond of breast milk! I asked where he developed the taste and he
told me he had a nursing relationship with his grandmother who he is helping
stay fresh as she works sometimes as a wet-nurse. What a darling boy! He had to
be helped off me the last time and was smiling as two of his friends helped him
stagger away.
Afterward:
It took us about two and a half hours to finish our work on the altars after which
the Red Deer rug I was lying on was sodden with my menstrual flow, arousal
lube, DiveGel and my partner’s semen. All my encounters, the three initiates as
well as Jack and His Grace, and the other altar girls altar encounters went w/o
incident and the clouds scudded just a few feet above the site with no sign of
the sun. The altar rugs with the celebrant’s fluids were collected and taken
back to the lodge to be ritually burnt as would the Freed pointes we had worn
while on the altars.
Then as we were in the carriages returning to the hunting lodge
the rain and wind came again. By early afternoon we were back at the lodge and the
sun was out briefly. We all had naps after long hot soaking baths. Before
dinner we participated in the burning of the altar rugs and shoes throwing the
Freeds we had worn and the deerskin rugs we had lain on onto a bonfire in propitiation
for any offenses against the Goddesses we may have been guilty of, such as
wearing pointes on the altars which I was very skeptical about. His Grace’s
staff sets a marvelous table and we all sat down to a delicious evening
celebratory meal of rack of lamb with the newly initiated boys before they were
taken home to their families.
Given the girls fatigue from cold and exertion and because
getting a helicopter in with the gale force winds would have been difficult we
decided to stay over another day and leave for home on Tuesday the 24th.
It’s now 6:30 AM here and the helicopter is coming for us at about 7:30 AM. So
after I post this I’m going down to breakfast. If His Grace wants to celebrate
the Winter Solstice at location Z we may have to do it in parkas and snowshoes.
