Fools' Ritual 1999 Dis-Order of Service

Welcome to Our Desecration!

Before we begin...

Enjoy the antics of the Completely Normal And Boring Person, make fun of each other, and check out the Ruffle items before the Briefing. Words to the songs we will be singing aren't printed anywhere - why ruin the fun?

Preparing ourselves for our time with the Gods and Spirits

• Processional and purification - Hey Hey We're the Druids; canned whipped cream
• Bardic Invocation for our inspiration and perspiration
• Welcoming the Allies, the spirits of the people and their gods who lived in this land before us, and are now completely embarrassed by us
• Earth Mother Invocation - I'm Gonna Make Love To Ya, Ana
• Meditation, grounding and circuiting
• Dis-Unity chant - everyone picks a different chant and sings it
• Statement of purpose - We honor the Outsiders, the forces of change and chaos.

Declaring Center and opening the Portals

• Well, Fire, and Tree
• Invocation of Manannan mac Lir, our Lord of the Dead, to guide and protect us in the Otherworld (and oh boy, will we need it)

Acknowledging and honoring our guests

• Ancestors - our beloved dead, who (like the Allies) are completely embarrassed by us
• Nature Spirits - the spirits of the land and its creatures
• Deities: Lugh, Bríd, Aren, Danu, and Bel (feel free to offer a noisy welcome to your own gods)
• Archie-types - acknowledging the three comic book functions within us
• Deities of the Occasion: The Outsiders (most are technically spirits, not deities, but we don't want to piss them off, so we'll call them deities for now)

Giving and Receiving

• Passing the invisible ball of energy: Direct your praise and energy to the invisible ball (a picture may be found on the back of this sheet) to build a group offering. While you hold it, you may give praise or thanks to the gods silently or in the form of a vocal or physical offering. When you finish, pass the ball to the person next to you.
• Group praise - Everyone shouts at each other and accomplishes nothing - no, wait, that's a Grove Retreat. Never mind. We'll come up with something.
• Maine sacrifice
• Omen of return - Magic 8 Ball
• Crowning the new King of Fools
• Return blessing - Accept the small plastic trinkets as a gift from the Outsiders.

Unwinding and closing

• Recessional - SLG ADF DRUID

And afterwards...

Run around packing your things before we all leave the site, and don't forget to get your Ruffle Tickets!
