KARI TAURING AND FRIENDS PRESENT

"How the Sap Does Rise"
A May Day Celebration

Welcome to Our May Celebration!
Processional - (feel free to sing)
"Round and round the Earth is turning, turning round and round to morning, and from morning round to night."

Invocation - Calling the Directions

Setting our intention:
The paper and crayons are for you. Write or draw what your roots need right now to nourish them for the blooms and fruits to come!

Discovering Origins:
"How Do We Honor You" - Huldre Staving and Singing

"Brighid's Song" - Children drum and Dance the Tree

"The Hunchbacked Fiddler" - How he gets his spine straightened!

"One Funny Day " - Written and performed by David de Young.

Professor Corpus Callosum - "Of Love and Road Rage!"

Video - "Story of Our Separation"

Visualization of ourselves as the tree of life, the Cosmic Tree, Yggdrasil!
Building Traditions:

"Benbecula Weaving Song" - A Song, dance, chant to re-organize our beings.

Passing the Cauldron - please deposit your wishes for nourishment into the cauldron at this time. Representing the Well of Healing at the root of the world tree, these papers will be ritually burned in a fire at Kari Tauring's house later. Your messages will be sent up to heaven with incense and prayers!

"Cycle" - Dancing and Singing the balance!

Passing out the May Crowns -Children and the Elderly first, all others by need!

Opening the Circle
"The circle is open, yet unbroken. Merry meet, merry part, and merry meet again. Blessed be, blessed be, blessed be!"
