Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

Now that the hysteria surrounding the mention of Terry has died down and any implied delusions made by others have been officially dismissed, I shall add to my previous post.

The NT flyer, Avebury Events - 2009, under the Summer talks, walks and workshops says.....

One of many issues the NT have to answer for if this is true.
I've e-mailed them for clarification.
Whilst i have no problem with terry and his followers or anyone else for that matter doing their thing this rule shall stand over my dead body.

this has been sent to to various Avebury websites after solstice

" Tilia:
Was at Avebury yesterday for solstice celebration - would like to ask who the objectionable (and rather grubby) Druid was who swore and carried on at the wiccans who had just had a circle. I asked the NT woman, and she said he was the self appointed keeper of the stones....self appointed? That means without any authority but his own? Right. He was rude and not a good advertisment for Druidry or Avebury. The NT should be aware."

Are you saying that the NT will only allow people to camp as long as they listen to terrys rantings?
There are other pagans groups who want nothing to do with this bloke but who come to Avebury for their own spiritual purposes.
Having to attend a compulsory ceremony is outrageous!

There is no compulsory attendance for the Druidic ceremony required by visitors to Avebury. The discussion with the Wiccans is over their desire to use swords in open and public ritual, which could ultimately lead to negative interest from the media. All that is asked is that this is taken into consideration when these props are used, so that free and open use of the site can be assured, for everyone (whatever their beliefs), into the future.

Hi Littlestone - Great see you there! :)
