We will meet on the car park of the National Memorial Arboretum at noon on the day. We will then process to the ritual location.
A druid ritual will be devised to be enacted on the day. There are requirements for people to take part, from calling for peace, through the calling of the quarters, the casting of the sacred space, readings, music and poetry and much more.
There will be two presiders, a priest and priestess, Geoff Boswell and Elaine Gregory'
We are hoping that Druid Orders, groves, groups, individuals and other organisations will attend and would ask your help in achieving this. I hope for a united druid event in the spirit that the Druid Forum was originally set up for by the BDO and OBOD way back when. It is not an occasion to celebrate warfare. We had hoped to help raise a modest sum for the Peace Pledge Union (White Poppies).
A ritual will need to be written and devised, with participants approached or nominated, with contributions suggested, commissioned and accepted, so any thoughts or ideas would be welcome.
We hope to see as many druids - and others - as we can get there, all with the intent of honouring the fallen of the Great War. If you have any offers for the eisteddfod section then please contact us.
We have decided that provisionally the ritual will be held on the British German Friendship Garden. A map of the NMA can be found here. In the vent that the ABM is unsuitable on the day our alternative location is the Anglo-Japanese Peace Grove nearby.
