Willow mentioned to me that we ought to have an official dance, and visualised the dancers holding a length of ribbon between them to mark out the shape of a pentagram. I have attempted to choreograph this....
TO START: A circle is marked out on the ground, with the five points of the pentagram marked at intervals around it and numbered 1 to 5 clockwise. Five acolytes stand slightly back from these points carrying large chalices filled with mead to refresh the dancers as they pass. The five dancers (A, B, C, D and E approach the cicle at point 1 accompanied by drummer and musicians. The dance commences:
A moves from 1 to 3, and takes a draught from the chalice (all dancers do this when they reach one of the points of the pentagram)
A to 5, B to 3
A to 2 passing behind and beneath C's ribbon. B to 5, C to 3
A to 4 behind C, B to 2 behind D, C to 5, D to 3
A returns to 1 behind C, D behind A to 5, B to 4 behind D, C to 2 behind E, E to 3 behind B.
A to 3, B to 1, C to 4, D to 2, E to 5, continue as above around the circle remembering to duck under the ribbon passing across in front.
The dance continues until the high priestess decides enough power has been raised, and releases it by steping forward with the large pair of ceremonial scissors and cutting the dancers free from their tightly tangled ball .........
