Thoughts on the ending of the Brigantii Moot
I’ve been gathering my thoughts about the Brigantii Moot, which ended this month. A majority of executive members, myself included as chairperson, felt unable to continue with the work of organising the monthly pagan gathering held in Morecambe, Lancashire, because of other commitments and/or personal decisions relating to our spiritual journeys.
I wanted to focus on my Druidry studies, which are set to commence in November. It was the right decision for me, and one I don’t think I will ever regret. The moot could have continued if those not on the committee, the many people who attended all the talks and socials, had been willing to step up to the plate and take over. But, for whatever reasons, or for no reasons at all, nobody wanted or felt able to shoulder the responsibilities that a small group of us had, for a number of years.

I didn’t watch the Eurovision Song Contest last night for three reasons: one, the BBC chose not to air Doctor Who this week to make way for it—and has been playing fast-and-loose with its greatest asset throughout this year’s fourth series already in terms of scheduling—and two, because the songs get worse every year. But my third reason is because Eurovision has become a political battleground in which the new gang of Eastern European states consistently club together and have now ensured that no Western European nation is likely to ever win the competition again.
