Subject: RE: BS: I'nt Morris Dancin Crap
Ere's a man oo obvoisly don't unnerstand iz eritage. Us Engerlish fully realoise the significuns of Murris Darncing. The earliest to me own knowledge recorded dance is the Orn Dance of Abbots Bromley. The significance of the hankies depends on the time of year. In the winter theyre useful for blowin yer ooter. In the summer they represent the spreading of the sperm on to Mother Earth to fertilise Her. Of course the Church are very interested in CONTROL of such powerful PAGAN symbology and so have been instrumental in marginalising the importance of the Ritual aspect of Morris. Whil most English are taught about the Nazi's they arent taught about theyre true heritage. I fully concur with the idea that 22 men kicking a gas filled bladder about is any different. The only difference here is that they seem to get a lot of commercial support.
