Aaaah - Lttle Hawk, I weep
I try to make a pun out of Celtic and Mother Earth History, and it goes astray !!!!
Wicker = The cages the Cymry built to burn thier sacrificial animals, and tribal enemies in.
Wicca - The ancient earth goddess (= Mother Earth) a religion akin to druidism.
Or to get it into a musical contect - here are two verses abstracted fron the "Give Me that Old time Religion" website Click 'Ere
"Oh the Welsh gods, -you- announce 'em
Asking my gods to renounce 'em
But our gods, I can't pronounce 'em
Being tongue-tied's not for me!
Wrap your sacrifice in wicker
It will make the flames burn quicker
Tho the smell makes some folks sicker
It's still good enough for me! "
And no it is not true thatr my comotes symble is a Sheep. We have better things to do with the 'Woolly Backs' than burn them.
