More details
- This is an open grove or druid circle ie. Open to non-members.
- Most regulars will be wearing robes, but for new people we don't insist
on them. However do try to wear something other than normal 'street wear'.
It is a 'special occasion' so we can dress up a bit, i.e.. woman may want
to wear a long dress & ethnic jewellery and you will be able to change
when you get here.
- You wont be required to say anything in ritual unless you volunteer for one of the roles, which usually get snapped up by the regulars.
- Also we plan to be outside in Our grove (If we don't get rained on, if
it does we have room inside the house). Please note: it can get quite cool
up here during the evening, cloaks or warm shawls are very handy.
- In circle there will be garden flares and afterwards a camp fire for the
feasting area.
We will be having a Bardic circle & feast afterwards so bring party food, wine etc.
- Close of circle will be followed by a Bardic circle. The Bardic circle is a casual party buffet feast sitting about the main fire - where people are invited to spontaneously play instruments, sing a song, tell a story, recite a poem or other Bardic activity. Including much merriment & feasting.
