about

Crepuscular Rituals - Burning the Wickerman

A wicker man was purportedly a large wicker statue in which the druids (priests of Celtic paganism) sacrificed humans and animals by burning. The main evidence for this practice is a sentence by Roman general Julius Caesar in his Commentary on the Gallic War (1st century BC), which modern scholarship has linked to an earlier Greek writer, Poseidonius.
There is some archaeological evidence of human sacrifice among Celtic peoples, although it is rare.The ancient Greco-Roman sources are now regarded somewhat skeptically, considering it is likely they "were eager to transmit any bizarre and negative information" about the Celts, as it benefited them to do so.

Recorded on May, the 1st 2023 at the Wickerman ceremony by the High Priests of Crepuscular Rituals:
Ken Jamison - High Frequency Evocator of Solar Energies
Emperor Sadox - Commander of Crawling Drones and Tectonic Eruptions
