Meet Peter. This weekend we all went to Peter's first birthday and wiccaning party.If you are wondering what a wiccaning is, here's what wikipedia thinks:
A Wiccaning, analogous to a Christening for an infant, is the presenting of an infant to the God and Goddess for protection.
And, after experiencing my first wiccaning, here's what I think a wiccaning is:
A made-up ceremony in a back garden, involving a broomstick, a sword, mead, cake and a phallic pinata.
Pete took it all in his stride, lots of people dropped cake which I ate and then we all went across the road to the community centre for a rather-more-traditional knees-up.
