A simple ceremony, you must kneel to the ground and between your fingers take a pinch of this good earth, rub it into your palms and introduce yourself to this country. Your name, the place you are from, the tribal lands of the Cantiaci, the names of your father and mother, all the ancestors that you know of, the George’s on your father’s side, the Hirons and Kerchers, the Norse blood, the ancient Welsh. Whoever you are and wherever you are from, you must speak it. This country should not have to struggle to know you. 
Look at your palms now, they are ingrained with the soil of this land, now you have introduced yourself correctly, now perhaps the old peppermints and the boulder vast of granite will invite you in, show you their secret places.
