    Im not really up on rituals but Isaac Bonewits has done a fair amount for neopaganism, definately in america and there would probably be some trickle down influence here in the form of a 'scholastic' approach in druidry or atleast a less romantic one. He is on his last legs and he tried to make neopaganism better for his people in America and for neopagans in general so... I hope its cool with everyone if I post this up here cos he might deserve help..

    Anyway this is the message his wife sent around to the neopagan community.I dont know what a rolling thunder ritual is, or what the history or philosophy is behind it but Im sure better ritual focussed neopagans then myself whod be the ones to do this stuff would know anyway.

    Cheers,

    James
