Happy Imbolc

Happy Imbolc (candlemass) ye pagan folk of the forum. 'Tis our personal biggest festival of the year so we'll be off to do dark and mysterious doings tonight ;) And I do believe a snowdrop has pooped up at the end of the garden, very fortuitous!

Dammit, messy buggers, I meant popped of course:D

That's a good site Technoboiler. Bride is our household Goddess so this festival is particularly important to us. It's traditional for the priestess to wear a candle crown during the ritual but imagining a crude tinfoil beanie and wonkie candles setting me hair alight I decided not to :) We'll have to get someone sensible to make one for us for future celebrations.

I won't recommend the hand fastening but my little boy was named at wychbury hill just outside Stourbridge..

Alledgedly a 2000 year old elm tree grew there that some little bastard chavs burnt don't 2 weeks before our ceremony.. :mad:

[Mrs Reject]

Incredible, it stood for 2000 years just to be burnd down by chavscum!!!!! :mad: What is the world coming too?
I'm sure we've heard of wychbury hill, will have to look it up on net. had a wonderful night last night, all went to plan perfectly and I didn't set my hair alight! We're all in for a wonderful summer.
