Not too long ago I posted my opinion about the ritual and almost got D'fed from here! It seems that a lot of people cling to these ritualistic 'crutches' like a drowning man clings to a piece of driftwood...
They are still slaves to the concepts... and get really pd'off when somebody points out the absurdity of the concept... so thread carefully (no pun intended) so that yee do not suffer the same 'wrath'...
To have true communion with God, Nature or any other deity for that matter, you do not need anything more than your thoughts nor do you need an appointed date...
Sit by the beach or a placid lake at sunset and you will understand what I mean...
Please dont dfed me again...
