=== Paganism: A Great Sacrifice by Bernie Mann ===
<div class="section-text"><p>As small as dust motes we may be in the luminescent eyes of the Goddesses, yet still do they listen, still do they reach out a hand to accept our gifts.</p><p>Our offerings are not mere tributes - they are our messages to them.</p><p>And, as such, it would be wise of us to take great care in what we say, for each divinity can be as easily offended as they are pleased.</p><p>As people of the Vale well know, for example, Druida, Goddess of Orchards, desires the sweetness of the fruit grown from a tree yet despises the taste of flesh.</p><p>So compose your offering with full thought of how its message shall be received.</p><p>Of course, the greatest offering of all is the one made on the First Goddess day every ten years, when a living messenger must be presented at the appointed place.</p><p>In the Vale, this is on the Festival Green, inside the magnificent Woodfellow.</p><p>A selected villager takes the role of Herald and becomes King or Queen for a day, using the ancient terms.</p><p>This is a moment of celebration, for they are about to embark on the most incredible adventure afforded to any Quillian. May you be blessed with this honour one day, too, on Summertide.</p></div>
