Since that keen oracular upchuck, we have been exploring how we can do this consensus thing and make it faerie, fun, with a good beat you can dance to. Any of you who have worked in consensus-based organizations know what I mean. Some faeries like to approach our theme through ritual, sacred space where we can explore risk in a safe spiritual context. For this, about 20 of us put together a ritual of Truth or Dare, with small groups playing this wicked little trust game in little candle-lit circles all through the woods. Occasionally, someone on a dare would moon an intense group.
Mirth is reverence.
In circle the next morning, one person who was there admitted that for them telling the truth was easy, but that taking a dare with a group, that was real work. After playing Truth or Dare, we walked up to the main ritual circle and began waltzing to the full moon around a raging fire accompanied by tribal drumming. I trust it. I always did love Fellini. Much more happened.
