I have a friend who's a massive pagan. A few years back she wanted to do a rebirth ritual. A bunch of us took her up to an iron age hill fort and we helped her do the ritual overnight. It ended with her being symbollically reborn just as the sun rose above the horizon. Fucking awesome. Then we all sat together on the hillside, eating sandwiches and drinking whisky and mead while she recovered from what had been a pretty deep, trippy, and emotional experience.
10/10 - would help a friend be reborn in the dawn again.
This sounds amazing. How does one go about being reborn in the dawn?
It's not my faith and I don't feel that it's my place to share all the details but, broadly speaking, it involved a symbollic death, a journey through the underworld (and a real journey through some dark woods), and then the rebirth on the hill at dawn. I played the role of the final guide who helped her escape the underworld to her new life.
