May Announcements

Hello everybody and we hope you're all fully recovered from Bealtaine.  The blog's on time this month to make of for not even appearing at all last month.  Oops!

The Next Two Moots

On Tuesday 12th June, Linda has offered us a talk on the Germanic goddess, Frau Holle, which should be good.

On Tuesday 10th July, I'll be taking us on a local history and mythology field trip to Radcliffe Tower.  Meet up in the car park at Radcliffe Metrolink Station, Spring Lane M26 2SZ at 8pm.  It's about a ten-minute stroll from there to the Tower.  Here's a map

Coming Up.

For folk who like a bit of Morris Dance, Stone the Crows are dancing in Tockholes on Thursday evening 10th MaySouthport Swords are dancing in Liverpool on Saturday 19th May and Rivington Morris will be dancing in the Longridge Field Day parade on Saturday 9th June.

As far as we know the Bolton Moot (Tues 15th May at the Man & Scythe) and the Manchester Pagan Wheel (Mon 4th June at the Waldorf on Gore St) are on as normal but we're a bit low on information.  If anybody knows what's happening please let us know too.

Nothing much to do with Paganism (except that it's fun and lots of Pagans go), Manchester has a meet-up for polyamorous people.  Polymeet is 2pm onwards at the Night & Day on Oldham St on Saturday 12th May.  Look for the parrot, or failing that a bunch of very friendly people.  Just ask!

Still nothing much to do with Paganism (except that it's also fun and lots of Pagans go), we'll be having a trip to Ara on Friday 25th May.  Anybody who wants to join us will be very welcome.  Check out this link for the details.

Again nothing much to do with Paganism (except that it's eco-fun and some Pagans do it), World Naked Bike Ride is happening again on the evening of Friday 1st June.  It's Manchester's 7th ride and all the details can be found here.

Only very, very tenuously connected to Paganism (via Madame Blavatsky and me), Whitefield Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society will be performing Blithe Spirit at the Whitefield Garrick from Tuesday 12th to Friday 15th June, which also means I won't be at Linda's moot.   Tickets are £7 from this link.

Finally, something that really is Pagan.  Well be having a Summer Solstice picnic during the day and probably into the evening on Saturday 23rd June.  The only problem is we don't know where yet.  Suggestions have included Rivington Pike, Edale and my favourite, Alderley Edge, but if you can think of somewhere better ...

That's all for now.  See you soon.
