Surprisingly, the ritual was workable with 3 parts each, i.e no-one had to pretend to be in two places at once! For me, I felt as strongly as Daniel did about the need to work through the whole wheel as a grove, I hope that it will be possible in future, though only the grove as a whole can decide that. I found it very interesting to talk to someone who remembers the old days of OBOD, dating back to when Ross Nichols was still alive and Phillip was relatively new to this druidry business.
