Volunteer Opportunities

If you want to join the planning committee or volunteer to help provide entertainment  or  teach a class please email me.  Ideas for helping make this
a fun as well as Spiritual event includes:

Dancing exhibit for General Public and/or Pagan Only hours.

Public ritual for the General Public Events

Private ritual for the Pagan Only Events

A Drumming Circle for General Public and/or Pagan Only hours.


Please remember that children may be present so plan accordingly.  

No sky clad activities will be permitted at this Faire; however, ritual garb and dressing up for this occasion is highly encouraged!  Perhaps a costume
contest would be appropriate for the Pagan Only Event Hours of Operation.

At this time there appears to be no prohibition against use of our ritual tools including athames and swords during public rituals; however, all other
"weapons" should be "peace-bonded" which can be done at the great hall.
