The Cauldron of Sensation
Midday Saturday in Stoneledge Hole
Spirit is seduced into manifestation through evocation of the senses, endowment of memory, and perception of time. Reflect on the art of living, stir passion, channel vortices of desire into waking awareness. Experience ever-present beauty within and without. Emerge from the ancient waters revitalized, and accept the intuition of oracle, as you prepare to forge new skins.
Participants will be required to enter the Stoneledge Hole, and partake of various sensory stimuli. Guides will be present to assist those who do not swim towards a more shallow entry/exit point than the one located in front of the Fairy Cairn.

Dodger,
Can you give a less ethereal, more mundane description of the Stoneledge ceremony? I can't tell from the press release whether to expect an experience of individual personal growth or an underwater group grope with a bunch of strangers...

Thank you for your kind words Qira. I look forward to seeing you this weekend.
In regards to Kailins question... We will discuss the mechanics of the secret handshake of the 23rd Degree (i.e. underwater group grope with a bunch of strangers) at a later date, (in my experience it leads to at least a few inches of personal growth.) ;-)
As to what might be expected currently in regards to ceremony, it is my hope to offer a decandently delicious "Sensorium" whereby the participants might allow themselves to enjoy various sensory input within the ceremonially charged watering hole, as they make there way to the next leg of the ritual matrix. I think I'm trying for something a lil more surreal than your standard "Naked Pagan Soup", but at this point I'm tying up the last few technical difficulties with "The Luhvmaatgene" and still have to prepare my scripted outline walkthrough. It has also been difficult planning the specifics with my ritual team due to our various time schedules.
Sooo I am graciously asking that if anyone feels moved to share any particularly groovy sensations in a highly charged ritual environment geared towards celebrating the mysteries of our Lady "Babalon" and her seductive charms. Bring 'em on... I ask that those of you who might be called to becoming a "Siren of Sensation" visit me after opening ritual on friday night. I am also looking for donations of floatation devices, fruit, incense, beauty, and reaffirmingly healing touch (perhaps spare towels). The energy will be sensual in nature but playful and hopefully non-threatening to those with issues involving such things. As to personal growth, hopefully the participants will find some reaffirmation in the solidity of the now, and rejuvenation and/or heightened sensitivity of their various peripheral inputs, before they reinvent themselves in the North Crook.
Back to stressing out,
Dodger

Thanks for elaborating on the creek part of the saturday (midday) ceremony. Since i'm twitchy about water, it helps a lot to have some idea what to expect.
