Embedded Files
So there I was sitting minding my own business and doing my bit to keep the world free from marauding aliens when an email arrived. It's from a guy who claims that he was booking his ticket for the SPF Conference when he came across the Meadow Moot web site and got in touch using my email address. He said that he was born in Edinburgh and he would like to meet up with local pagans and I though to myself "no, you really don't know what your getting into." He then says that he's visiting Edinburgh at the beginning of October. To which I wondered where he was writing this from.
The University.
Of Melbourne.
Australia.
Of course I followed the usual protocol for these sort of messages and thought "Yeah, right, I've already got a cupboard full of Viagra." I was also wary of the surname because it is very similar to the hunter and maybe someone was having a laugh at my expense.
The thing was that the address looked genuine and there were links to the university but I was still suspicious.
I did my own search and tracked down the uni web site and then did an internal search (no thanks, officer!) and there he was. According to the web site he is an anthropologist who is a Professor in Latin American Studies, School of Languages and Linguistics at the University of Melbourne, Australia. So I replied.
The upshot of all of this paranoia (on my part) was that I offered the visit to Claire for the Maunder Moot but she was reticent about moving the moot to the 1st Saturday of the month. After a while I thought the 1st Saturday, that's the Meadow Moot's slot. If there was going to be a meet up it might as well be.
For one day only, the Meadow Moot is back. Be there (or be elsewhere!)
15:00 on Saturday 4th October 2025 in the side room of the Cumberland bar.
Professor Adrian Hearn from the University of Melbourne would like to meet local pagans and tell them about the work of his community organisation Suns of Mercury.
Be there or be elsewhere!
