[pagan-magik] majick at during G8 summit

[Space Bunny]

Let me introduce myself. I live in Edinburgh. I have not really ever 
been involved in organised pagan or majick groups. I only once went to 
meeting of the Source in Edinburgh (which was split from Pagan Fed), I 
was persuaded by young friend who was a bit shy about meeting new 
people, but they were a good friendly bunch, and a certain well know 
follower of the 'Northern Tradition' who I had no desire to meet who 
sometime attended group was luckily not there. That group no longer 
publically meets though.

There are well know Beltane celebrations in Edinburgh ( 
http://members.lycos.co.uk/Hexagon/ ) which are well worth attending 
once but they are really just a show, 'riverdance for crusties' as it 
has been described.

I better know several lone practitioners. I have completely lost touch 
with Marina Findley ( http://highmajik.org.uk/ ), who is very much out 
there on here own, and other majickal people find confused and 
unhelpful, but she did introduce me to the Nine Stone Rig (circle, 
http://www.ancient-stones.co.uk/lothian/011/013/details.htm ) as well as 
Pressmennan wood, in East Lothian.
A comrade who I know through his involvement in general political work, 
and lives nearby me, I fund out a few years ago of their keen interest 
in the occult. They have been excluded, due to personal vow,  from some 
of general anti-G8 organising gathering because they have taken place on 
consecrated church property. But for others who came who I know to be 
pagan this was not an issue. Wondering if others on this list take a 
view on this?

When I was at Glasgow Reshape (anti-g8) group launch a couple of people 
there expressed interest in doing something majickal around G8. I know 
some Pagans from North America are coming over for G8.

I will be arranging some walking trips in the Ochil hills which are 
South of Gleneagles where G8 meets. We we up on SherriffMuir in the snow 
the other day. I hope to put hope photos online sometime. But we did not 
get any of the avenue of sup marked stones parallel to the road,

http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/698 . But plenty of time on 
other trips. When it started to get more daylight after equinox I will 
be encouraging more people to come up from England to come with us 
walking in the Ochils, check out the ancient hill fort that overlooks 
Gleneagles, and all the various stones including the Gathering Stone 
http://www.themodernantiquarian.com/site/3036 and many cairns in those 
hills. You may be able to say with comrades here and/or try youth hostel 
at Glen Devon. There is allot of paths and sites I have to check out 
myself. http://getamap.ordnancesurvey.co.uk

I have already stated with regards to the G8 that since the state builds 
monuments for propaganda purposes - to commemorate their imperialist 
wars or to feign sympathy for those who died in them, to make their 
authority appear immutable by parading their past leaders or simply to 
impose their strength upon the people. Inspired by the multiple uses of 
a strip of turf at Mayday 2000, that gave a focus to monuments we plan 
to the construct enduring peoples monuments.
One project is to ask those coming around the G8 Summit to bring a 
pebbles from their area to make new cairns to celebrate our victory, and 
foretell the burial of those that govern us. These pebbles having 
travelled far also act majickly along with various talisman that people 
bring to incorporated in our cairn.

See you in Scotland,
