Laughter for body and soul

Back in 1998 when I was just starting out on my pagan path, We were given an assignment to be eligible for the first degree. We had to create and lead a ritual. With the help of my high priest and priestess I created a full moon ritual to induce laughter. From what I remember it went something like this: You do the circle casting, quarter calls, and invoking the goddess and god  in the normal way. For raising energy you do the Hokey pokey (yes, you read correctly, the hokey pokey). When you get to the end of that. Bless the cakes and ale which are twinkies and beer (look up" your  a redneck pagan if..." jokes on the web to understand). then ground and center. This ritual is best when done in a group and is particularly good during the winter months when its dark and depressing.  After all, Laughter really is the best medicine and the Goddess does have a sense of humour.
