Focus on the fertility aspect of the book and let the rest of the people decide for themselves what they want to focus on from the reading.Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12294207351440999597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-69452595097306486832011-04-25T12:29:09.896-04:002011-04-25T12:29:09.896-04:00Instead, read "The Rhyme of the Ancient Marin...Instead, read "The Rhyme of the Ancient Marinade"....Alex Pendragonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-67318783501903303522011-04-25T10:09:21.412-04:002011-04-25T10:09:21.412-04:00Lavanah makes a good point -- the Song of Solomon ...Lavanah makes a good point -- the Song of Solomon is an ancient, stand-alone poem.

Read it out loud-it may not be Jabberwocky, but it will get the juices flowing-just ignore those men in the black cassocks!<br /><br />(Song of Songs has always been part of my Purim/Spring Sex holyday readings, its that good.)Lavanahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295089071497942411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-58496474523902048042011-04-25T09:18:45.043-04:002011-04-25T09:18:45.043-04:00I don't get to choose the reading.

I am all for broad-spectrum inclusions of spiritual paths and such, in a "generalized" term, but spoutwood has had it's own flavour of inclusiveness that AVOIDED specific mentions of texts and dogma, other than, as you mentioned, a tradition of crowning the May Royalty. <br /><br />Why, this is exactly the sort of thing the folks with bullhorns along the roadside are complaining about! <br /><br />*sighs* TI sense a great disturbance in the force. Even the old minister in me (yes, I can do weddings in PA) is not too happy about these changes...<br /><br /><br />Keep the spirituality, not the Religious, please??Maebiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15818255129828936381noreply@blogger.com
