September Moot

A big thank you to everyone who turned up on Tuesday, most especially our guest speaker, Harry Scanlan, for a fascinating and inspiring talk on the Ogham tree alphabet, its meanings and use in divination.   It was a brilliant night, even if we were all a little squished. 

Some of you left your cardboard Oghams behind, so we'll look after those till next time if you want to reclaim them.  Also safe with us till next time is Harry's wonderful staff. 

Announcements

October Moot: This will be on Tuesday 8th October, and the subject is Divination.  It's a cop-out, but the spirits have not yet revealed to me precisely what this will involve.  Ie. I'm making it up as I go along, and I'm sure I'll think of something :) 

Anit-Fracking ritual:  This is being organised by the Bolton Moot, and will be held at noon on Saturday 28th September, in the amphitheatre field at Moss Bank Park.  It's next to the top car park near the chimney.  The ritual is being timed to co-incide with other events around the country to raise and share energy to protect our green and pleasant land.

Samhain Party:  Once again we're having a fancy dress party for Samhain.  This year it will be on Saturday 26th October and the theme is Alice's Adventures Underground - think White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, Queen of Hearts, Alice Through the Looking Glass etc. 

August Moot Update

Unfortunately, Harry Scanlan will not be able to do his talk on Ogham at the August Moot as planned.  It's now postponed until the September Moot  (Tuesday 10th September).   We're sorry for the short notice. 

Of course, this now means that we don't have a particular topic for discussion next week, so any suggestions are welcome, especially at this late stage.   It may have to be a pull-a-question-out-of-the-hat Moot :) 

Latest News!

After talking to the lovely Elaine Speakman who did a fascinating talk on nature spirits at the Pagan Wheel Moot on Monday, I am very pleased to announce that Elaine will be doing a talk for us on ley lines round Bury and Radcliffe at the August Moot.  

July Announcements

Running a bit late with this again.  Busy, busy, busy!

We have a speaker for the next Moot.  Our good pal, Harry Scanlan has stepped up to the mark and offered us a talk on the Ogham.  Thanks, Harry!

We've also been so busy that we haven't been able to suss out our annual Whinberry Walk, and all the Saurdays and Sundays around Lughnasadh are spoken for.  So, we're going to cheat slightly because it's the school holidays and go on Monday 29th instead.
If you fancy coming along, meet us in the car park of The Shoulder of Mutton in Holcombe Village at 11am.  Bring your butties in a box and you can use it to collect whinberries on the way down.

See you soon,
