The Companionship of the Rainbow Bridge was an experimental ritual drama group, founded in 1977 and running until 1994. Apollonian in character, with an emphasis on precision of form, beauty of language and use of music, it became an exciting, uplifting magical opportunity for creativity. self-discovery and wonderful, self transcending experiences. It has left a treasure house of over forty beautiful rituals that were written, producted and performed during the life of the Group. Twentythree of the rituals are presented in this book, organised in five groups. One group consists of seven Rainbow Colour rituals, each one prefaced by a beautiful illustration of its essence by Ruth Bayer.

A substantial introduction describes the high ideals that formed the foundations of the Companionship and the general principles of its ethos and organisation, with photograps showing the symbolic weapons, officers' robes and Temple furniture.

In making these rituals available, the hope that others will be inspired and challenged to use them, adapt them, and develop their own versions, thereby keeping the rituals alive and discovering for themselves the immense rewards of ritual drama.

The Play goes on!
