Have you ever marvelled at the awesome way a human being interacts with sacred geometry? Have you been inspired by Megalithic cultures, Knights Templar or Freemasonic Architecture? Have you ever noticed how the strings of a guitar are similar to a human spinal cord? If yes, the maybe you are Site Crew!

| Each time a crew gathers to create an O.B.O.D. camp site they bulid a Temple to the Elements, to the Place, to the Season and to Druidry. By star and by compass, by rod and by twine, by the light of the Sun and the light of the Moon. The centre is brought into being, the door to the stores is opened and the box of magic is unpacked, each peice of the temple re-awoken. | |||||||

The awaited Awen flows, the sacred geometry emerges. Each days work is filled with creativity, spontaneity and intent. Every peice of twine tied as a spell for community and celebration, every structure erected in honour of the earth and sky. Doorways and fire pits are opened and spirits make their presence
known. The envoys of the Universal Bond of Druids traverse time and place
as the Beautiful Fey play music and dance... then as the northern lights bless
the circle, as the White Horse affirms the magick with a horseshoe unearthed
from the central fire pit, as a child gifts you the formidable Tau(T) symbol
and Augurs habitually play cloud games of lesson and lore, the circle is squared,
the temple built without is also built within. The crew grow and learn, laugh
and cry, meditate and mumble through familiarity to frienship, from sweat
to sweet music and through common ground to community and competence |
|||||||
. This temple in which Druids unite and celebrate is alive, the stage
is set, many arrive, add flavours and ingredients to the feast, bringing skills
and stories and song. Much magick and music is made. The Season suffuses into
every cell of similarity and difference, serenading your journey. The earth
washes your feet. The mystery of the camp unfolds into days of Gorsedd, games
and genius loci. The climax culminates in continual cognizance... |

The work is done. The magick ripples and honeymoons throughout the univrese as post ritual people make restful music and meals. The closing is prepared, the circle is uncast, thanks is given, Druids begin to leave through the door with which they entered. Crew begin to undo, much help at hand. The altars are taken down, the knots untied. The pits are closed, builders unbuild and deconstruct. Pack away. Ritual ash bathing amidst gentle rain. Fresh newness of fertile future.
