Witches put damper on Oliver Cromwell's Birthday...

The ever increasing Media Hype surrounding the 400th birthday parties, which included a plan to Stage the Mediaeval Baebes in Ely's Cathedral ( see REF:BELOW ), has prompted the Witches of Ely to suggest their own Celebration...

In an unprecedented move The Witches are approaching the Bishop of Ely in an attempt to be granted permission to perform a Special FULL MOON RiTE around a 400 year old Tree. The Tree, a London Plane, is in the Bishops Garden and is over 100ft tall and is without doubt the most knowledgeable Tree in the area.
The Ritual is also proposed to Ely's Tourist Head in an attempt to gain a financial grant to make a good show of it, offering limited places for Worshippers and Media Personnel so the whole event can be Witnessed and Recorded...!

The Witches of Ely have issued a statement which reads...
" We believe in the LifeForce of Trees as they stand silently reflecting on the World of Men. The Tree's speak to us via their shape changing qualities. The Ely Tree, as we call it has had a good life and is eager to share its story and enjoy it's deserved glory. We also want to push the frontiers of Religious Tolerance for local ethic minorities, in-particularly Witches and Pagan believers in general. This country is keen these days to promote racial and religious integration giving Muslims, Hindus and the like their places of Worship.
It's about time the ancient Cultures of English and British people were given the same respect..!".

The event is planned for around Sunday the 25th, the exact date of Cromwells 400th BirthDay Anniversary. More details of the event can be found on the Witches Tree LiNK's on ely.org.uk, or the newly formed Witches Organization @ www.witches.org.uk

REF: The Mediaeval Baebes
News from a local promoter who says he has secured the Mediaeval Baebes for up to 2 performances on 25th of April has regretfully informed us... "The intended venue of Ely Cathedral has in their Holy judgment, rejected the event on the grounds of, it's our Cathedral and we don't want upstarts attracting the wrong sort of people. We shall not be celebrating Cromwells Birth ourselves because we are devoid of imagination and, quite frankly, can't be bothered!".
Anybody with a little more enthusiasm for our History and geographical area may like to take over the hire of the Mediaeval Baebes on the 25th for less than £3,000. Contact baebes@ely.org.uk
