Details

Flame and Herb, Stone and Steel, by insignia of Fairy King's seal.
Friction strike lights cauldron fire, as chanting rises from the choir,
Misty gates swing open wide, mouth of mound where the dead reside,
Come all ye faithful, hard and hearty folk, ye who pull the oxen who pull the yoke,
We will dance with the dead in mirth, staring into the eye and mouth of earth.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
Ritual Feast - A Celtic Pagan ritual to honor our ancestors and Donn, the Celtic deity of The Underworld. We’ll have a sit-down ritual, share a tiny portion of our food with our loved ones past, and share our favorite stories about them, as we break bread with one another.
Potluck Details:
-The theme of this potluck is to share with everyone, a favorite food someone you want to honor enjoyed around the holidays. Did Grandma Jolene adore apple pie? Bring one! Could Uncle Bob roast up some mean root vegetables? Give it a try. This is just one way of getting to know them better.
- A small portion of what you bring will serve as your personal ancestor's offering in ritual.
- Comment what you plan to bring on the wall.
-PLEASE bring a cooler if you need to keep your dish refrigerated between arrival and feast.
- There is no way to cook or heat food on location so please bring your dish already prepared.
-We encourage everyone to cook rather than bringing store-bought if you're able.
Things recommended to bring:
Personal Plate/Utensils/Cup
Potluck Item
Camp chair or blanket/towel
Bug Spray
Zombie repellent
