“What Philip Carr-Gomm [the former Chief Druid of the U.K.] told me was that, in the pagan year, there is a ceremony or a ritual or something being marked every six weeks across the year. That gives hope for anybody who is currently suffering, because you are never far away from the next moment when you can get together and when you can celebrate.”
