Electronic Text

Some purists may argue that it's bad enough we use paper to record our rites and read from them during ritual (the Celts at any rate coming from an oral tradition), but as a pragmatist we can also see the value of external mnemonic assistance. What better assistance than a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) like a Palm Pilot or other dedicated e-book reader. You can brush up on your Druid Polytheology while waiting for the bus (or those chronically late grove members) or perform that moving large group ritual under the stars whilst reading from your backlit handheld reader.

Anyhow, we're not here to sell you on the idea, but the preconverted should take note: these e-texts are in simple "doc" format for the Palm O/S (and have a .pdb or .prc extension). You'll need a document reader such as Tealdoc (Shareware), Palm Reader (built in on recent models) or C-Spot Run (Freeware).

Current E-texts include:

Pre-Ritual_Briefing
Claiming: Standard text for Claiming and Saining the Nemeton prior to worship.
Samhain_Rite
Standard Liturgy: Otherwise known as the old Mother Grove Rite.
Blessing_Rite: StoneCreed Groves' small group devotional rite. Scroll the text with one hand, make offerings with the other.
