slaughtering of these beautiful creatures was stopped once and for all. How do we know that it is not cattle that are passing on the TB virus on to badgers? How many of the badgers killed actually have TB? In my view the Govern- . ment should leave the badgers alone (they have been perse­ cuted enough over the years) and concentrate more on get­ ting rid of the expanding pop­ ulation of rats which are much more of a health risk than Brock ever was.


lovely badgers I THOUGHT that the badger was one of the most loved of our native wild animals and was protected from harm by law, yet according to a report in the press 20,000 badgers are to be "needlessly slaughtered”, the National Federation of Badger Groups has warned. The Government cull has been ordered because the animals are considered a major cause of TB in cattle. I t will go ahead despite a breakthrough last week in developing a vac­ cine. The Government says a viable vaccine could still be years off. It is about time this mass

THERE has always been something sacred about the status of motherhood. Since time immemori­


T il


al, mothers have been revered, and in pagan times they were especial­ ly celebrated in spring. Spring was the time of new life when the god­ dess of plenty emptied her cornucopia over the land and mothers were honoured as a reflection of this time of hope and renewal. The Druids dedicated


their goddess Cebele, together with a host of other appropriate deities they had adopted in their marches across the then known world. They cheerfully added the Druidic pantheon to theirs and the celebra­ tions became all embrac­


ing, with Britons and Romans alike celebrat­ ing the mother figure in a hundred different guis­ es. The celebrations con­ tinued into Christian times when, with their usual pragmatism, the Christians took over the spring festivals, banished


the, pagan gods and god­ desses and substituted Mary the mother of Jesus. : The day was called Mothering Sun1 day, honour was satisfied on all sides and the cele­ brations continued. By the 18th Century, the festival was so well


established that servants were given time off to return to their homes to visit their mothers. The gifts they took


their mothers were nec­ essarily simple though traditional. Small items of hand embroidery, home-made sweetmeats,
