[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 5483559, member: 1125"] Yeah I did find 'summer' a bugger to deal with:) so Spring, Harvest and Winter work for me especially as the godess I was thinking of invoking is the Maiden-Mother-Crone Triumvate, three Seasons makes that even better! (of course I was going to associate summer with Love, Union and Growth - but oh well) The Priest is pretty much what I'm looking at developing (the 'roles' will determine different roles of the Druid priesthood) and the nature spirits 'wicca' iwill be linked to druidic magic. I'm actually trying to design a "Dance of the Nymphs" as the initiation rite - ie the nymphs (nature spirits) surround the initiate and whichever nymph s/he chooses to dance with will determine his 'calling' The five elements is an interesting idea too. According to wikipedia - wood (spring/sprouting), fire (summer/growth), metal (whithering/autumn), wate(rdormancy/winter?), stone (stability/ripeness) Will need to add back wind/storm somehow (six elements?) The Judge and Soothsayer are important roles I want to work in too (so what nature spirit represents Judges?) One of the things I have toyed with in this sect is the role of blood in ritual and have a prayer covering four associations "[I][B]Blood of birth and Blood to heal, Blood of rage and Blood spilt to feed the Fields[/B][/I]" The last one 'Blood spilt to feed the feilds" comes from the use of Blood and Bone as a soil conditioner and lead to the idea of a Winter King - a human sacrifice each winter to maintain the fertility of the soil until the return of spring:) So the Blood associations are - birth - healing - Rage - soil - disease any other thoughts?
