The Hollowing

In Thornish tradition there is an exercise performed by those new to the ideas of our form of pagan beliefs. For years this has been referred to as a Hollowing, or as going into the hollows. What this entails is that a person goes out into a natural setting where they are unlikely to be disturbed or distracted and once there they spend a period of time in meditation upon their place in the world and on the true nature of the state which our world is in. This may sound like a simple thing but to those who have performed this act of deep introspection the results can be quite profound.
