Magick Earth Summer Solstice Festival

Gatherings and celebrations for people who follow the earth and nature based faiths, religions and beliefs.

Suitable for both beginners starting their journey and those with more experience
they are essentially focused on:
- family and community.
- the sharing of information through workshops and lectures.
- the celebration of pagan and heathen music, art and culture.
- networking and community building through discussions and public forums

Previous people who have attended include a multitude of paths, eclectic, wiccan, pagan, heathen and druid just to name a few. We all come together in a spirit of community and respect for others who may have a different path.

The difference between MEF and many other festivals is that there are no free tickets handed out, we minimise our costs so it is affordable and we encourage participation by everybody to create a community where we help each other. We share the work load and we share our knowledge and experience.

MEF features stalls, lectures, workshops and discussion forums as well as rituals appropriate to the timing or theme of the festival. You may also find drumming circles or bardic circles. They have also become a place for folks to get together for Rites of Passage ceremonies such as Wiccanings (or namings) and Handfastings (weddings).

MEF is a very family friendly place, most of us have kids and they enjoy mixing together and entertaining each other in a loosely supervised environment.

It is about honouring our Earth Mother, our ancestors, celebrating our individual chosen paths and connecting with like-minded souls from many different traditions.

So I welcome any and all who wish to come along and get yourself a dose of uplifting pagan community spirit.

Due to a minimal advertising budget we encourage you to spread the word to others who may be interested.

The venue has limited dorms (BYO pillow and blankets) and plenty of space to pitch your tent, hot showers, but you must BYO eating equipment.

Price for the weekend includes your tent site and dinner on Thursday through Saturday nights.

Other meals are available to purchase or you can bring your own. We do supply free tea, coffee, sugar & milk

Events on the weekend!

Community dinners: I believe that sitting down and eating dinner together helps to build our sense of community so I always like to make a community dinner a part of my events, I also encourage you to sit with somebody you don't yet know.

Round table discussion: we have a quick run around the circle and give everybody a chance to tell us about what relevant things (moots, coffee groups, drum circles etc) are happening in your neck of the woods.

Teddy bears picnic: we are again holding a pagan teddy bears picnic.
