Entertainment: Foxwood Rhythms

June 25, 2019 By

Let’s first admit that we all like to sing. We often sing in the car, while having a shower and so on, but the sensation that you are singing in a public place, knowing that everybody is watching you is quite different. Singing takes your troubles away and is relaxing, that’s why so many people get addicted to it.

Tameika and Fox will be spinning some fun on the opening night of the festival. Karaoke is always full of fun and great music! There are a lot of great undiscovered singers out there. A little courage and some back up music, and you’re off!

If you really don’t like to sing, well you can always get up on the dance floor and shake it. Being a singer myself, it is always great when people are dancing in front of you. Come join us and release all of your stresses from the mundane world, in preparation of an amazing spiritual experience that the week ahead has in store for you!

Karaoke Dance Party hosted by Fox and Tameika will be on Friday night.

Spirits of the Earth 2019

June 25, 2019 By

We have confirmed our 2019 dates!!!

12-14 JULY 2019

Last year our focus was to RISE: Resonate Internally and Shine Externally. This years theme is Seeking Knowledge Through Experience. We will find the parts of us we value the most; those that make us unique.  We will then learn how we can share those skills with our tribe…creating a powerful foundation of strength, loyalty and honour.

This year we have had to shorten our festivities due to a career opportunity for one of our main organizers. However we feel it important that we continue to create magickal space.  We encourage folks to arrive on Friday evening after 5pm.  We will begin by preparing our temporary village and catching up around the fire, and sharing stories of our adventures since we last gathered…perhaps even some karaoke.

Saturday we will focus on opening ourselves up to new experiences and creating new bonds with others in our community, in honour of Óðinn the all-father, who gathered his knowledge and experience from his travels throughout this world and beyond.  Óðinn sacrificed himself by hanging on the world-tree Yggdrasil for nine days and nights. At the end of his ordeal, he perceived the runes, the magickally-charged ancient Germanic alphabet that was held to contain many of the greatest secrets of existence.

“Then I was fertilized and grew wise;
From a word to a word I was led to a word,
From a work to a work I was led to a work.”

We welcome you to participate in the Blot where we will raise a god pole for Óðinn in the Vé at OakHaven.

Following the ceremonies will be a celebration of our tribe and our sacred space as we prepare for an night of feasting, celebration, revelry, honoring and gift giving.

Registration is OPEN!

Add it to your calendars folks. We’ll dance with the spirits, and revel in the energies once again!
