The Next Two Moots
We've press-ganged Linda into taking over on 13th March, with a talk about her book, Lancashire's Sacred Landscape which is due to be published this month. Hurrah!
On the 11th May we're going to make you do the work! "What's your path?" will be the subject for discussion so please have a think and then you can tell us all about it.
Cruel? Noooooo!
News
Sadly, the Bolton 1st Monday moot is now defunct. Our hostess hasn't been terribly well of late and has decided to let it die a natural death. But don't despair, because it no longer clashes with Manchester Pagan Wheel and there's other good news on the horizon.
Coming Up
On Friday and Saturday 12th & 13th March there's a food and drink festival going on in Wigan, which will include a presence from The Coven and Maria's famous vegan cakes.
The evening of Saturday 20th March will see Daniel and Helen's Equinox party. A little less noisy with instruments this year because they've got neighbours now, but we can still have a good time . . . just quietly. Details from the Pixie and the Big Fellah, or via us.
Clarian Faeries will be holding their next moot in Westhoughton on Monday 22nd of March and it's going to be all about orbs. Are they spirits or are they dust, or what? Bring a digital camera if you can. Details from Mel and Nick or (again) via us.
On Saturday 27th March the Big Green Festival will be reappearing in Chorlton. It's good fun.
The amazing Rivington Morris will be making their beclogged presence felt at the Halliwell Cultural Event on Saturday 17th April and the St. George's Day parade in Manchester on Saturday 25th April.
Now the good news I mentioned: There's a new moot starting up in Bolton. The inaugural meet up will be on Saturday 17th April, from 8pm at the Olde Man & Scythe pub on Churchgate. There's also a Facebook group if you want to keep informed.
Finally, Bealtaine!
We'll be having our annual Wicker man party on Friday 30th April. There'll be a bonfire, a wicker man to burn, live music, a maypole, nudity (if someone takes their clothes off) and all manner of general revelry! 8 'til late!
On the evening of 1st May there's a Faery Ball being held in Garstang. Tickets are £20 a chuck, but that includes live entertainment, dancing (I think) and a 3-course meal with a really good veggie option. Details of the night and how to get tickets are available from Clarian Faeries, who are also providing the blessing ritual.
Lastly, the great Spencer Tunick is coming to town. Woohoo!
He'll be shooting around the Lowry and various parts of Salford and Manchester on Saturday and Sunday 1st & 2nd May. If you want to get naked and join in, here's where you register
Public nudity? It's a disgrace!
Love and chilly bits,
Seán
