EVENTS!
MIDSUMMER REVEL
Come and share in the wonder of Midsummer! We will be constructing the SummerKing, the Wicker Man, in ritual on Saturday afternoon. We will honor and decorate this wooden effigy of the God of the Harvest (check last year’s listing for pictures!). There he will stand, watching over the summer fields, with our wishes and gratitude on slips of paper folded into his form. These papers will energize in the hot summer sun, and at Final Fire near Samhain, we will set him ablaze.
WHEN: Saturday, June 23, 2012. Ritual will begin at 4PM, and arrivals at 3PM and on are welcome. Weekend camping is free if you’d like to make it a 2 or 3 day event, and donations to the Denne is always welcome and appreciated!
WHERE: The Groves of the Green Man’s Denne, Greene, Maine.
WHY: To celebrate Midsummer and to build the SummerKing.
WHO: Maine Pagans. Sponsored by Cynwyd Circle.
HOW: That’s up to YOU! 
WHAT: Ritual and social time only: Bring a chair and snacks to share, and a drink for yourself.
If you are camping, bring your tenting gear (tent, ground cloth, sleeping bag/blankets, pillow, flashlight), a chair, food and drink for yourself and some to share for the evenings (don’t forget dishes and utensils!). Fresh well water is available for drinking and washing. Bring drums and other musical instruments. Bug spray and sunscreen are a good idea. No need to spray for IRS agents… we’ve taken care of that.
LEAVE: Your prejudices, your sorrows, your weapons and illegal drugs.
Well behaved fur-beings welcome!
HARVEST REVEL
Join us for an exciting weekend full of workshops, demonstrations, vendors and ritual! Friday night there will be an Opening Circle which will include a meet-n-greet, then mellow hanging about the fire sharing stories and food.
Saturday blooms early at 10AM with workshops like Poi Spinning, Totem Animal Guided Meditation, and MUCH more (TBA). The Lughnasadh ritual will begins at 4PM. Please bring a small bottle of water from a source sacred of meaningful to you for the water-sharing portion of the ritual.
We also will have the honor of having the Red Tent at our festival! Come share with your sisters in woman-space!
If you’re interested in vending or offering a workshop, please let me know.
Sunday morning begins with a pancake and scrambled egg breakfast sponsored by Cynwyd, so bring your plates and appetite! The rest of the day will be devoted to hanging out and cleaning up in preparation to leave. Gates close at 4PM.

Overnight camping is available (and recommended if you intend on imbibing). Please bring all appropriate camping gear.

At Midsummer Revel we created a wicker man, the SummerKing, who has been standing in a sacred place under the summer sun, energizing the prayers and gratitude of our community. It is the fate of the SummerKing to lay down his life at harvest for the good of all. Willingly does he place his head upon the block, giving of himself that we may prosper. On this day, we shall honor his sacrifice and set him to burn.
