Join us to bless the land and trees at Wild Spirit Woods. Showing our gratitude for trees and our wild world and a very merry uplifting way to begin our year!What Can You Expect?
A merry band of revellers dressed in wild attire. (Think bears, Krampus, Green Man, fancy hats and greenery!) Meeting on the gravel and making our way to the meadow and fire. We will process around Dreamcatcher Meadow making merry with a great hullabaloo. Then we will sing to the trees a Wassailing song and gift an offering of traditional wassail drink and bread.
Afterwards we will parade down to the tipi where there will be a big toasty fire, hot vegetarian soup and roll, and hot drinks. A traditional Wassail cup will be served.
If people wish: Historian/archaeologist might present a short talk about how this tradition ties in with those of Europe.
There will be a small exhibition of traditional old European bells for you to look at and handle. ‘Congleton Bell Belt Day’ and its’ artefacts will also be discussed in this context too.
Special ‘bell’ sound healing once heard never forgotten!
Hurrah and Huzzah!
We wish you good cheer on this merry day!
