Protocols for participation
Grow some garlic (alium sativum)
Sow Outside: Late Autumn/early Winter in sunny, fertile soil. Plant individual cloves just below the soil surface
Fertilise: Before planting.
Weed: Garlic plants cast no shade and they are vulnerable to weed encroachment
Harvest: Once the leaves have turned yellow.
Make some preparations: When the nights grow long we begin to welcome Winter. Light a fire, burn myrhh and patchouli, make food to share with friends. Dress in black to collect and absorb the heat and keep you warm.
Host an event: Invite friends to simultaneously read out texts on darkness, liminality and gateways, and at the same time to listen to what others are reading. Begin with 60 seconds of silence, then anyone can begin reading. When everyone has finished reading, leave 60 seconds of silence. Eat and drink.
