 And takes the sword to the chief druid, his status marked by the three bars of the awen on his headdress

 

 he takes the sword to the centre of the circle and faces each of the four points of the compass in turn, At each

he unsheathes it and asks "Is it Peace?", pushing it back into the scabbard on recevieving the answer it is peace

 

 

 The lady asks permission to enter the circle with her gifts

 

  carrying the horn, and is followed by her attendants
 
She presents the horn to the chief druid 

 

who tastes it and offers it to those on his two sides 

 

The presider then walks around the circle making libations 

The seeds are then presented to the presider 

 

who distributes them on the ground around the circle 

and the lady leaves to join in the circle, carrying the basket of flowers
