A cautionary tale of voiles and tea lights

Before you begin dealing with your in-tray or inbox this morning, I thought I should share with you a profound creative gathering experience from The Beaker Folk of Husborne Crawley. They celebrated a wordless liturgy of Voiles and Tea Lights with music from whales (or Enya / Coldplay) and rituals featuring seaweed, rosebuds and hazelnuts. Not everything went smoothly but once the building had been evacuated, there was a shared experience of building a cairn. It is all very moving - do read the full account.

Archdruid Eileen has also shared the benefit of her experience after the blessing of cats service. (Hint: don't sprinkle them with blessed water.)

Are you sure it wasn't music from 'Wales' Father? :)

I warm to these people. They have a finely developed sense of humour.

Something wrong with the cats, methinks. Mine didn't object to being sprinkled with holy water for their blessings... but then they are both good cat-holics...

Your Hermeneuticalness


Thank you for your linkage. It's an honour. We shall light you a tea light forthwith.

That is most earth-motherly of you. I shall hold a hazelnut in my palm in thanksgiving. Now where did I put the seaweed? Oooops! Aaah!
