I really enjoyed our Solstice in Leipzig.
We had a Pinkie Pie ritual, that transcended the notion of secularism a bit.
We started in a circle with a giant Pinky Pie in the middle. In a circle everyone gave an example of how they make other people happy and how other people make them happy. When a person finished we pushed ballons around. When the circle finished we sang the Pinky Pie song, while putting the corresponding video with text with a projector on the wall. After we finished singing, the giant Pinky Pie was given as a Christmas gift to a 4-year old girl in attendence who was the kid of a couple that participated.
We might have violated two of the 10 commandments (You shall have no other gods before me/You shall not have any false idols) with it.
Given Pinky Pie to the child had a bit of a feeling of ritual animal sacrifice and the authentic happiness of the 4-year old made the whole ritual real and down to earth.
That's adorable. I'm interested in hearing more about how Leipzig went.
Yes, you did, but PLEASE SEND HELP I'M DYING OF LAUGHTER.
Transmitting the sense of seriousness of the ritual over the internet isn't easy ;)
If you want a taste earlier that day we did photos, we posted online them online: http://solstice2014.tumblr.com/
Well, several days have passed, and so at last has the impulse to go put the Smile Song on repeat on YouTube.
