Do you need to fondle crystals

or it is enough to just be obsessive about good nutrition?

is there a particular dress code?

is it inconsistant with a reasonable appreciation of science?

thoughts please

275 - and more if we're having eco-washing options....

And yet, I have friends who think I'm positively square....

moondog · 28/01/2007 10:59

lmao at your naked woman Spider

SauerKraut · 28/01/2007 11:06

275- less would-be than I thought!!

Can we have soapnut points please?

Whats the funny named tea? Is it good?

lunavix · 28/01/2007 11:20

also what if we have a lentil-weaving type occupation?

Or do we lose points as we should be at home, educating our young?

Booboobedoo · 28/01/2007 11:30

Just seen this. I got 150-ish, but I haven't had my baby yet, so don't qualify for lots of the points. .

I did get married in a wood with a crystal-loving LW officiating instead of a vicar, though. And he 'cleansed' the area with cystals before the ceremony.

(Afraid they're just pretty lumps of rock to me, but it made him happy).

Lunavix, Redbush tea (easiest name) is South African, caffeine free full of ani-oxidants etc, very refreshing and robust - almost tastes like 'normal' tea and it can be drunk with milk and sugar (see, I drink pus-filled cow byproduct so I'll never be a real LW)

Spidermama, LOLOLOL at your dancing woman.

I am torn between being at how comfortable she must be with her own body, how healthy this is etc etc.

And thinking WTF????? Woad just *isn't a good look for anyone!

Isn't life and all its diversity wonderful???

Spidermama · 28/01/2007 14:11

Yes I'll always be grateful to that wode woman. I felt a mixture of warmth for her and mortification on her part.

I think people like her must be third or fourth generation loons because they've gone a very big step further. Too big for me to contemplate even with my loony leanings.

I also saw a similarly atired woman at an underground trance party. She was leading the chanting circle, which I joined. I couldn't get into it with quite the abandon of those around me, and believe me they really did, erm, lose themselves in the ritual. ) In fact I felt a bit of an imposter as they held hands and chanted and ohmed to welcome in the new something or other. Anyway what followed was a truly fantastic, unforgettable party and I think the ritual thing, though titter-worthy in the extreme, did set up the event very well.

I have a sneaking suspicion these people really know what they're doing, but I'm too uptight and inadequate to be able to properly connect.

So I'll just do my little version from the suburbs of Brighton.

Spidermama · 28/01/2007 14:12

Sorry. 'Woad' is it MB?

Blandmum · 28/01/2007 14:15

Buggered if I know SM, I'm the worst speller in the world!

I'm way too hung up to ever let myself 'go' in public! So and at those who can

filthymindedvixen · 28/01/2007 14:17

SM -'' have a sneaking suspicion these people really know what they're doing, but I'm too uptight and inadequate to be able to properly connect. ''

were, erm 'stubstances' in evidence at the trance party?? By any chance?? Think it's more to do with that than you being uptight and inadequate.

Mind you, I've danced til dawn at trance parties without the aid of chemicals so...it's notimnpossible.

Spidermama · 28/01/2007 14:22

I remember being in a park in Vauxhall with some friends including a cool, hippy friend who's now queen of a hippy empire, and her big name friend, who used to always be on the news defending canabis and opened his own shop etc. Well he was visiting London from Glastonbury. (So obviously he was already cooler and more in touch with gaia than we were)
We were chatting away and suddenly he had a moment of joy in the sunshine and declared it was time to sit down and Ohm. So we sat in a circle and I pretending I knew exactly what was expected and wasn't at all phazed and everyone closed their eyes and took deep breaths and went 'OOooooooooooohhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm' together. I know they could feel the circle shaking as I tried with all my might to supress the guffaws which were coursing through my body. I was so ashamed.

Spidermama · 28/01/2007 14:24

filthyMV I too have danced all night to trance sometimes with and sometimes without recreational aids as it were. For me it depends on how good the music is.

Even with the aid of aceeeeeeeeeeed or other, I would never be able to prance around nekid and covered in blue paint without giving a flying toss what anyone thought of me.

Blandmum · 28/01/2007 14:26

SM, 'he had a moment of joy in the sunshine'

LM big fat Welsh AO!

PMSL at ''I know they could feel the circle shaking as I tried with all my might to supress the guffaws which were coursing through my body.''

This was me at a shamanic healing drumming circle thingy I got dragged to at a little festival last year.

I got a Paddington Bear-style hard stare from the 'shaman' who then told everybody we might expect to be overcome with euphoria providing the sensitivity of the circle wasn't broken by bad vibes...

Spidermama · 28/01/2007 14:35

Oh dear filthy. I too was once a thorn in the side of a drumming circle. What's more the self appointed high preistess of said circle saw fit to inform me of my faux pas in no uncertain terms. It went something like this ...

'I'm so glad we've all come together here. I'd like to welcome the positive energies gaia is sending from the sun, the trees, the bushes.
We must also be aware that there is some dark energy amongst us'. Utter mortification.

I'd gone to have a funky jam with my tom toms but funk was not on her agenda. She wanted slow basic banging with no redeeming rhythm.

PinkTulips · 28/01/2007 14:36

snort at the mad hippies you've all encountered.... what a sheltered life i lead

that said i've had my share of weirdos... the guy who claimed to have no less than 128 people inhabiting his body and was convinced there was a vortex to another realm at the bottom of his garden guarded by a goblin who's name i can't quite remember he did do frighteningly accurate tarot readings though spookily enough

filthymindedvixen · 28/01/2007 14:43

I think we share the same compulsion Spidey, to actively seek out these experiences but failing to leave our sense of the ridiculous locked up at home....

Blandmum · 28/01/2007 14:45

Step MIL had a serious sense of humour failure when we put her statue of the mother goddess in the glovebox of her car when we were driving it (it kept toppling over when dh cornered! ) What struck me was that she seriouly seemed to think that the goddess would only work if out in the open?

filthymindedvixen · 28/01/2007 14:54

I didn't realise there was an anti-car crash goddess...sounds like something from Terry Pratchett

TooTicky · 28/01/2007 14:57

Does anybody in the south-west ever pick up The Spark? It's an excellent free publication with great local info about events and green things, but it does have some quite bizarre adverts - lots of spiritual drumming in the woods with shamans and goddesses.
