Liturgics 301: Final Exam

 

You are designing a ritual to be enacted around a standing stone. The ritual includes three constituent parts:

  • A round-dance around the standing stone.
  • Crowning the standing stone with a circlet of flowers.
  • Pouring a libation over the standing stone.

In what order do you arrange these three parts?

Why?

Poet, scholar and storyteller Steven Posch was raised in the hardwood forests of western Pennsylvania by white-tailed deer. (That's the story, anyway.) He emigrated to Paganistan in 1979 and by sheer dint of personality has become one of Lake Country's foremost men-in-black. He is current keeper of the Minnesota Ooser.

    The order is easy: crown, pour, dance.

    Wording the why is much harder.
