The
back page of the third Windsor newsletter/manifesto/thingy, whatever
you wish to call it. I've censored a few four letter words , not through
prudish tendencies on my part but because some search engines will disbar
pages which contain such words and I would rather be able to get this
site accessed to as many people as possible , even though I'm contravening
my principles by censoring the text . We all know what the words are
anyway-you fill in the blanks.
W'E*L*C*O*M*E:
People willing to devote themselves to the work of the Commune (a circle
of human love) are most welcome to come and discuss and, if agreed,
join.
BEHIND THE FESTIVAL -
Clues from NUSSY + UBI
Our civilisation: With
psychedelic colours, painting, poetry, dress, songs and dances and music
we people stand out in sharp contrast to the rest of society in the
restoration of genuine community and friendship to our lives -qualities
which they are losing and which is blamed on coloured people by intellectual
thugs like Enoch Powell or even on ourselves who are often as severely
discriminated against as any coloured persons (for example, by the publicans
of Windsor at the time of the Festival and by the police in the mass
searching of thousands of us on the roads to the site). TODAY HIPPIES
COME FROM ALL RACES + COLOURS. If we are strong together as a community
we are no less strong in that individually we appreciate the dignity
and creativity and genius which everyone, given the opportunity and
appropriate cultural outlets, innately has. It is a profound respect
for one another which, when we join together, gives us INVINCIBLE power.
On inspiration, from a realisation of these truths, the FESTIVAL began.
Yet, how simply we can enrich our own lives and, by an exchange of confidences
with others, those of people everywhere. For example, when preparing
for the First Festival, we were told by a friend in Bristol that two
bands there would play, namely, MAGIC MUSCLE and EARTH CRAFT. To us,
deeply in love, the first was a fine name for man's sexual organ,:The
second a pagan and beautiful word for the woman's. By combination we
had an exquisite and dynamic phrase for making love: ***EARTH MAGIC***.
Coming from a civilisation where a motley horde of parasitical priests
and ministers had conspired diabolically to preach the fear of death
with sexual repression-holding the cross in one claw and man's balls
in the other-a terrible stranglehold on the minds and bodies of women
and men for nearly 2,000 years-we realised that sex had been degraded
by association with sin to such a degree that simple and useful words
like c**t, c**k and f**k are forever lost as words of beauty. WE CAN
DO BETTER! You can tell someone to f**k off but not to earthmagic off!
Solidarity: If two people, while smoking dope, are approached by police
they may well piss in their pants from fright. In a group of, say, 12
how much stronger one is. In a crowd of 1,000 all smoking dope together
you can tell the police to piss off! We like smoking dope * we know
it is against the law * there must be something wrong with the law *
because there is nothing wrong with smoking dope. In good conscience,
standing together and trusting one another we can win. As we did at
WINDSOR. The cannabis laws, when we have fought the battle, will go.
And, if we realise the strength of the weapon in our hands-nothing less
than good old democracy -we can turn it against everything we loathe
such as landlords and, in good time, abolish rent so that EVERYONE OWNS
THEIR OWN HOME.
Communes: The old society
is founded on the family which has now grown so small and lonely that
it is truly called an emotional gas chamber. Two people smoking dope
together don't have half the fun or satisfaction as a group of six or
12. It is TRUE not only of dope but of our whole lives. WE CAN LOVE
MORE THAN ONE for before our eyes monogamous love is everywhere failing-far
better and from that more generous, peaceful, freer HOME called the
COMMUNE we can build a society which will recognise the genius in all
of us. In the place of the ripoff employer/employee relationship we
can have one of complete co-operation (we can all take part in the decision-making
process at work as well as at home). But we have to learn this cooperation
in the home and from an early age. It is there-in the COMMUNE-that the
Revolution must begin! Here in our commune we aim at practising what
we advocate. LOVE! .. ...... .... BEHIND THE FESTIVAL. Windsor Great
Park extends from Virginia Water to the Castle - about seven miles!
