Tupperware Ritual
This might only make sense or be amusing to someone who has some knowledge of Wiccan ritual structure… but I found it funny. Posted to wiccauk-chat by Ceri Turner today, reproduced with permission.
And to the East was placed the sandwich box of mystically fresh air,
And to the South was placed the microwaveable plate with mini pizzas and spicy samosas,
And to the West was placed the tupperware goblet of wine,
And to the North was placed the biscuit tin of vanilla creams and chocalate chip cookies.
And the circle was cast with the plastic knife from the picnic set.
And the Guardians of the tupperware towers came and nicked some of the chocolate chip cookies, and were remonstrated with by the Coveners, who offered them the vanilla creams to appease their wrath.
And the God of plastic and the Goddess of food and drink were invoked and asked for their blessing, that the goodies of the fridge and cupboard might ever stay fresh and wholesome and fitting to eat and drink in their sacred names.
And the wine and food were blessed, and the feast was consumed, and all the remains were taken home to the fridge in blessed tupperware to be had another day, God and Goddess willing.
April was chock full of stories of Religion in the News. The pope bashed Protestants; he took a swipe at a particular Methodist. Protestants bashed Muslims, and Muslims protested the appearance of a Protestant at the Pentagon; they protested the appointment of a Jew (i.e., a member of the Jewish Community) to the United States Institute of Peace. In Iraq, Muslims cheered and then jeered and then cheered U.S. soldiers, some of whom had to become Protestants if they wanted to bathe. Some Muslims killed some ministers in a mosque, while some Protestants prepared their armies for a spiritual assault on Islam.
