The sap is rising, trees are unfurling, daffodils are swaying gently in the breeze as fat and furry bumble-bees buss by. Blossom, well, it's blossoming, isn't it? It's Spring and it is in my step.
In keeping with the season, my fellow Transpontinian, Mr Neil Gordon-Orr is speaking at the South East London Folklore Society (SELFS) on Spring Festivals in South London on Monday 11th April. Neil is a local historian particularly interested in forgotten and radical history. In the run-up to May Day and Beltane, he will discuss spring rites from Pagan times to the present day, concentrating on rituals and festivals in South London

For the Spring Equinox I went up to the top of Telegraph Hill park with four candles (fork handles?), a stormtrooper (star wars) toy, a Luke (skywalker) toy, to represent good and evil, some paper and pens and a guitar.
we then went to (great local Irish pub) Skehan's free house in Kitto Road, to drink and merry chatter-away- in the new spring.
The weather could've been beter couldn't it?
How was the SELF's day of ritual?
Did it go nicely?
