[Artemisia] Hildegard's Vigil

[LadyPDC at aol.com]

As many of you have heard, our beloved Hildegard will be answering the  
Royal request as to whether she will join the company of the Laurels at 
Solstice  Court.
 
As a part of that journey, there will be a vigil at Solstice court which I  
am certain others will speak to.  For my part, I have volunteered to  
organize the feeding of the multitudes who will want to wish her well on her  
journey to this elevation and perhaps even offer her some advice and  
direction.  
 
Since Hildegard herself will be partaking of some of the bounty available  
throughout the day and since much of her knowledge has been in the food and  
beverage area, I would like to ask anyone who has learned from Hildegard 
during  her journey from new person to leader to bring or send a sample of 
what you have  learned from her in the food and/or beverage area.  Don't worry 
about  amounts as I am sure that there will be plenty even if only a small 
portion of  her students participate.  What I would really like to see and 
also have  her see is how much and how widely she has effected the people of 
this Kingdom  (and even beyond).  So send a sample for her to see and taste 
and perhaps a  bit extra for the rest of us to see, taste and admire.  
 
The only things I would request is that you contact me off list prior to  
the Solstice event and let me know what you are planning to bring or send and 
 that you provide a list of ingredients for those who might have any  
allergies.  We will have plates, glasses, serving trays and napkins as well  as 
tables and decor.  I just ask you all to bring some of the table filler  to 
show what an effect Hildegard has had on all of us.  
 
This invitation is not limited to Laurels nor even to peers, as I believe  
that her effect has been most keenly felt by those who have been traveling 
the  road to elevation with her and may just be a few steps or miles behind.  
So  don't feel you have to have a crown or a dangly to participate,  Come 
one,  come all, and help show Hildegard what her presence and her willingly 
shared  knowledge has meant to you.
 
Thank-you, we now return you to your regularly scheduled discussions.
