Due to a slight diary-based cock-up, Bridget won't be able to do this month's moot on 13th March.
However, the Radcliffe Moot's very own Scandinavian hero, Brynjar, has bravely agreed to step up to the mark and bring his talk forward by a month.
He will be treating us to a screening of - and commentary on - the film, Trollhunter. Actually, if you say that in a Norwegian accent it sounds much better.
See you on Tuesday,
Seán

February Announcements
A day late, but I'm blaming everybody else for forcing me to drink all that wine.
Thank you to Emma for a fascinating talk and discussion. Shame we couldn't have had more people, but St. Valentine beat us to the date.
Next Moots
On 13th March we'll be looking with a wry eye at earth zodiacs with Bridget. We may even see if we can't find one for Radcliffe.
Brynjar will be taking over on 10th April and treating us to a film night. The film in question is Trollhunter, enlivened by Brynjar's copious knowledge of Scandinavian mythology and folklore. It's in Norwegian with English subtitles, by the way.
Coming Up
Sorry for the short-notice announcement, but if you fancy a ceilidh there's one on tonight (16th Feb), featuring the inimitable Rivington Morris. It's at Ramsbottom Civic Hall and costs £8 each.
The Bolton Moot is next week, Tuesday 21st February at the Man & Scythe. We haven't been given any specific details so we reckon it's a social.
Heading into March (and nothing to do with Paganism apart from the fact that I'm in it), Whitefield AODS is putting Little Shop of Horrors on at The Paragon in Prestwich, from Wednesday 21st to Saturday 24th.
For any sparkly friends out there, the first ever Pendle Faery Ball will be happening on the 7th April in Billington, Clitheroe. There will be bands, fire displays and a craft fayre. Tickets can be acquired here.
Finally, get saving up your booze, firewood, singing voice and sillyness for our annual Wicker Man Bealtaine Party on Saturday 28th April. See you there.
Springtime hugs,

January Announcements
A day late but at least it's better than last month when I forgot to write anything at all. Ooops!
Anyway ...
The Next Few Moots
Next month, Feb 14th rather appropriately, we'll be having a talk from Rainy City Roller Derby Girl, Emma on "Pink Paganism. A path for the not-straight". Asking people if they like musicals, standard lamps or Chardonnay will be banned!
After that our friend Bridget has offered some occult psychogeography in the form of a talk on earth zodiacs and search for the Radcliffe Zodiac. That will be on 13th March.
We're a bit light for April and May, so if you fancy a request or to make an offer, you know where we are. In June, I'm going to be taking over with a little field trip for some local history and mythology. It will involve meeting up at a pub rather than Radcliffe Moot Towers, details coming soon.
Coming Up
If you hadn't realised the Wassail is on this coming Saturday (the 14th January), where have you been? 8pm onwards folks. Any donations of food and drink to share (veggie/vegan please) or firewood to burn will be gladly accepted. Don't forget your hat!
If anyone fancies blowing their hangover away, a group of nice folks have organised a walk around Bromley Cross (where the little stone circle is), Jumbles and Edgeworth. Meet at Bolton train station 11am and finish eventually at the Strawberry Duck.
The Bolton Moot will be happening at The Olde Man & Scythe on Tuesday 17th, 8pm onwards. We think it's just a social this time
We're taking a trip to Ara on Friday 27th of this month to celebrate a certain Dionysian's birthday (How old? Ye gods!). Anybody who fancies joining us will be most welcome and probably cuddled by a drunkard.
Marsden ImBolg Fire Festival, despite worries to the contrary, will be happening again this year. It's not well advertised on the web so no link, but the procession starts at 7pm from the goods yard behind the railway station. Heck, just follow the crowds, it'll all work out.
Could somebody order nice weather this time? We nearly drowned last year.
We've also booked the date for our Bealtaine Wicker Man party. It'll be Saturday 28th April (which doesn't clash with Thornborough Henge this year, so yay!). I know we're jumping the gun a bit but we're arranging around a visit from some lovely friends from California.
Finally
We've recently been told about the Pagan Blog Project. They are looking for contributors to write a few lines every Friday on a subject starting with a given letter. Give it a look, it could prove interesting.
And that's it. Hope to see you at the Wassail.
Keep warm and well!
Love,
Seán
