Apologies to the Chaplain of University College for the re-use of passages contained in his favourite (and only?) sermon: "something of the Divine, as also of the earthly and creaturely in us..." and the majority of certain pages being about embracing the non-Christian and learning from Nature. Because of the persistence of these topics in the Chaplain's Reflection Groups and books, I should probably credit all five of the books and advertise the newly-published "The Eternal Vision" (a suitable name! It promises to be a weighty tome).
"Visions of Faith/ Hope/ Glory/ Grace/ Love" Rev'd. W. G. D. Sykes (Oxon.), Oxford University Press, various years
Hopefully the profits (sic) will enable him to purchase a new, non-rusty bicycle (in addition to some fresh custard creams).
The graphics contained in certain educational parts of the pages, in particular regarding nature, have been adapted from the following:
Oak and acorns from "Easy Way to Tree Recognition, The" J. G. Kilbracken, Kingfisher 1989

Many thanks to Lady Galadriel, the Goddess of Light and Tranquility, creator of the Druid Guild, for being true to the Spirit of Druidism. This has pretty much made it possible for me to derive the basis of being a Midnight Sun Druid from the acts of the real Judges, Prophets and Poets of the Celtic past.
Thanks also are due to Hibiscus and Eira for introducing me to The Realms and the Druid Guild respectively, and Petrus, Sparhawk and Craver who must bear the brunt of responsibility for keeping me there, against all the odds...
...to Hlemmin for a tiny little hidden link on Planet Hlem,
to Lilac for being included on his MS sites list, and to Elvira for including this site in her Magic Webring of Midnight-Sun related sites! : )
I suppose I had better enclose a prayer to Silvanus
the God of Nature and Neutrality for the safe upkeep of the site here too, in case he would be offended at being left out of the Credits. If you also feel you have made a contribution entitling you to a mention here (and/or would be equally offended), please do not hesitate to contact me, so I can explain what went wrong.
While you're bored enough to look in every nook and cranny on the internet, you could always visit my real homepage, maybe sign the guestbook or something...
Many thanks for studying my site close enough to find the credits. I hope you gained something from it.
