Hi Rose!
Fi> Followed by an appropriate banishing pentagram and a kiss.
RD >Do you repeat it for all the quarters, one by one? Is the kiss
RD >given in the direction of the quarter, or 'thrown', or...?
Yep.  Invoke at all the quarters and banish at all the quarters.
This is actually done with either an athame (dagger) or wand,
and what I do is kiss the blade prior to stabbing at the center
of the pentagram.

RD >little investigation, huh?  ;>
Yep.
Love is the law, love under will.

 JP> One of the members of the London coven went along to some voice/chant

 That'd be fun.
 CP> Exzuma was cool.
 JP> Have you ever heard of them? Nearly every coven in London uses
 JP> Dhambala in ritual, but no-one really seems to know anything about the
 JP> group.
 Never heard of them before.
 CP> The Incubus/Succubus: it's good to hear pagan
 JP> Did you like Tony's artwork?
 It was alright. Didn't blow me away, but my taste's pretty eclectic.
 JP> What about Peter Gabriel? Are you being tactful in leaving him out?
 No, I enjoy his stuff (especially the early Genesis stuff when they were
 still experimental and not muzak, like "Supper's Ready" and "Watcher of
 the Skies" and such), though he has one cut that bugs me. I can't think
 of the name of it offhand, but unless I'm misunderstanding him, it seems
 pretty hypocritical -- the more so because it _sounds_ great, but the lyrics
 are the sticking point. In the song, he puts down TV commercials and such
 for using music from other cultures as a 'hook,' but the song itself
 uses a really nice arabic sound.
 CP>  We live to serve. ;-)
 JP> That's not the rumour I heard ;-)
 Hey, I'll get around to that laundry eventually, honest!
 We're fresh out of Gold, but if you're interested in some cassettes of
 Haitian Voodoo drumming?
