Dear Mr. Carr-Gomm,
this is not to comment this last topic, but as the post tells about a druidic day, I decided to use this issue to thank you a lot in advance for the conference and workshop you’re going to hold in the North of Italy in September/October. I’ve had a quick chat with Ossian/Luigi D’Ambrosio, founder of “Antica Quercia” (Ancient Oak) group, and he anticipated me this exciting news!
Your visit and teaching will be the first chance for Italy to have a glance into “professional” Modern Druidry and – believe me – we really couldn’t wait any longer to enjoy this opportunity! We’ve had many international Wiccan teachers here (there’s quite a deep mingling of Witchcraft and Druidry here), but any Druid up to now.
So thank you very very much, it’ll be a great pleasure and honor to meet you!
Bright Blessings
Chiara
Dear Chiara,
Thank you! I look forward to meeting you and coming to Italy!
Many blessings,
Philip
That does sound lovely – especially as one of the speakers is A.N Other – I have always wanted to meet them 😉
I would love to go (if I can pluck up the courage) I am really enjoying reading the Mount Haemus lectures – I have only read half of yours at the moment as there is so much to take in and think about – (I am writing a blog on it on my weblog – Janeyb) I find it helps me digest it and it is all so relevent at the moment. I can’t wait to read the rest of the lectures – think its going to take all summer though 🙂
Hmm… I’m actually in London that weekend with a friend, I might be able to make a quick detour and attend, topics sound fascinating!
Any idea how many people can attend?
I would really like to try and make this, if I can – it looks like a very interesting day. Haven’t yet made it to an OBOD event – must stop being such an old hermit!
