Sacred Harvest Festival 2008

The Fool's Journey, Breaking the Hermetic Seal

August 2 - 10, 2008 (Extended to NINE DAYS!)

$115 per person

http://www.harmonytribe.org/shf2008/

Wholly unique and unlike any other large-scale public pagan event, Sacred Harvest Festival is a overwhelmingly friendly and family-oriented Pagan gathering hosted by Harmony Tribe, a magic tribal community celebration of earth-based nature spirituality. We are THE family-based tribal gathering of pagans in the Midwest!

Our festival held in an amazing, majestic grove of tall oaks overlooking a lake in southern Minnesota. All who embrace Nature Spirituality, Shamanism, Wicca or Pagan earth-based beliefs are welcomed to come and celebrate. This gathering includes workshops, rituals, drum circles, dancing, merchants, activities for teens and children. We will inspire and take you on a journey to find happiness and magick, and as always, add many surprises along the way!

Join us to honor the Earth, the Harvest and the blessings of the Sky, while enjoying the benefits of a tribal community. We have built Sacred Harvest Festival around that spirit you take home with you, and the bounty will grow this year!

This year's theme is The Fool's Journey - Breaking the Hermetic Seal. This year's theme will explore Hermetic Magick in many aspects. Tarot is the obvious focus and national guest Donald Michael Kraig, as well as Janet Berres, and Louie Pieper will help guide us. Our first international guest, Tony Mierzwicki, brings the well-researched and resurrected practice of ancient hermetic Graeco-Egyptian ritual.

Quibble over Qabalah!

Tantalize yourself with Tantra!

Enjoy a feast of ritual and a hunt of the spirit!

Throw in Kenny Klein, both a Pagan bard laureate, author, poet, Blue Star High Priest, and visionary. Music by The Dunn County Clerics. (More local talent to come!) You will need nine days just to gather it all in! Thank the Goddess for Pie Day (our official day of rest) and the Tarpage Parade of Homes!

Registration has opened, so sign up early for the best price and to reserve your spot for what promises to be the BIGGEST Sacred Harvest Festival yet!

A Call for Wisteria Cornstalk Festival: A Magical Convergence of Spirit, Earth, Art, and Music (July 30 - August 3, 2008 at Wisteria in southern Ohio)

Wisteria Community is thrilled to announce this very musical gathering to our friends and Earth-loving folk of all beliefs. In celebration of buying our land last year, this year we are throwing our kind of party -- a music/arts festival blended with a sparkle of Earth Magic here in the green rolling hills of Appalachian Ohio.

Kan’nal, Jeff McBride, The Ragbirds, Owain Phyfe, Ghost Whisperer and more:

Kan’nal rarely (if ever) plays east of the Mississippi so their fans near here should be ecstatic. Jeff McBride is a world-class magician who takes illusion magic to an entirely different plane. The stories of the real "Ghost Whisperer" (Mary Ann Wincowski) have been dramatized by a Hollywood television series and she is consultant to the series. At Cornstalk, she’s going to tell us about her everyday experiences in working with earthbound spirits.

Thursday night is The Ragbirds from Michigan, a celtic world-beat band that can jam for 4 hours so settle in for a long evening of good vibes. The peak musical night is Friday: Owain Phyfe opens for Jeff McBride’s Magic show followed by Kan’nal, a high-energy tribal shamanic rock band from Colorado. Finally, the drummers will process to the Bonfire area with the community for an all-out community shindig bonfire scene where everybody can play, talk, sing, dance, hangout, just be together under the stars.

Saturday night is a flurry of multiple highlights: our adult dance party in the woods (Smashed Grape Bash) is hosted by Green Fairie Grove while a series of acts play Caffeina’s Stage until the wee hours. Meanwhile, a dawn-to-dusk intensely spiritual drum Alchemical Circle hosted by Jeff McBride, Abbi Spinner and their clan will glow at the Stone Circle.

Drumming is a big emphasis at Cornstalk. Jeff McBride honors the drumming community with his series of explanatory and experiential workshops. We will have all-out "party" Bonfire nights as well as smaller intense spiritual fires so there is something for everybody. Jeff McBride, Abbi Spinner, Michael Wall and crew are also hosting a series of drumming intensives so DRUMMING will be the heartbeat for the week.

Friends of Wisteria, please broadcast this call to all your networks that might be interested in coming to Cornstalk. Go to www.wisteria.org and click on the stage lights image to see the lineup. Alternatively, go directly at www.wisteria.org/cornstalk.htm

The festival is rapidly growing as folks are feeling joy in knowing this convergence is . . . well, converging. We are updating the website frequently so check often for more goodies and guests.

Thank you for listening to our excited rambling,

Your Friends at Wisteria
