Passing the horn
Do we pass the horn to the right or to the left?

Re: Passing the horn
Does it matter? I believe that the important part of a samal is in the sharing, not in the direction the horn moves.

Re: Passing the horn
I don't think it matters but it came up in a discussion group so I wanted to know what others think.

Re: Passing the horn
From my experience with participation in rituals with different kindreds/tribes, everybody has their own way. The direction itself matters not, but some do it by their ranking among their kindred, some do men first and vice versa, some do boy-girl pattern, and some have no pattern at all it just depends where you're standing. The lores (to my knowledge) give no reference to horn direction, so therefore I take it as of little importance as posssible

Re: Passing the horn
we typically pass it clockwise but not for any reason, it just usually happens that way I've noticed. Our group does not have a thew when it comes to this.

Pass the horn - B~~~~r that get your own mead
actually left to right or clockwise as a rule but not always adhered to - depends if we get muddled and how many toasts we have made
