The Harvest Moon is apparently also one of the dates marked by a mysterious cult that is said to predate Christianity – that of the Lily White Boys. One of the earliest mentions of this obscure cult, which practices animal and allegedly once child sacrifice, is in an ancient folk song called Green Grow the Rushes O. A line of that song states ‘Two, two, lily-white boys, clothed all in green.’ Such green-robed figures have been seen for hundreds of years across the land, including the north west of England. They congregate around this time of the year at four locations: Wirral’s Bidston Hill, a field between Waddicar and Melling, Bowring Park, and the Delamere Forest. One Harvest Moon night in the 1970s, Brian and Tina, a young couple travelling homewards down Bull Bridge Lane in Aintree, saw a circle of figures in green robes standing in a field around a bonfire, and one of the figures was holding what looked like a small doll-like effigy.
