Try EVERYTHING - Corn dollies (pagan fertility - though some of the pagans here will probably shoot me down ;-) ) Morris Dancing (even more tentative), Lying with your heads to the north (Magnetic pull helps the little fellows along!) and all the other stuff you can think of!

Something will work eventualy and you will have even more fun trying:-)
