Come Join us as we celebrate Beltane this Year.

We are hoping to be on the new campgrounds at the back of the property that we had been camping on. This will be DragonHeart Retreat and will be a separate from Dragon Wylde Ranch. A big thanks to those that are coming out on the work weekends to make this happen.

Now for the Gathering itself…

We are excited to announce that Jo Carson will once more be joining us, even though it is only virtual this round. She will be telling us what the tradition called Feraferia.

We will also have Nightwynd playing for us, this is Ian Sunrise Wolfe’s new band and the Bruja-jas of San Antonio preforming for us

There will the Beltane Games Sat. morning to find out who our May Queen and King will be. The May Queen and King receive tickets to our Samhain gathering, crowns they get to keep and get to help with the Maypole ritual and maybe included in the main ritual.

Yes, we do a Maypole and it is for all ages.

We also have may games for teens and Littles complete with crowns for the main winners.

We choose our winners by lots. The winners of the competitions get their name placed in a cauldron and we draw from that. The idea is that we offer our best to the gods for them to choose from.

We will also have workshops to attend during the day for adults and children alike.

Children are welcome at most of our activities with some workshops geared towards the younger folk. If it is not suitable for children it will be listed as an adult only workshop and held in a different area then our normal workshop space.

There will be several rituals during the event with the main ritual happening Sat night.

We have several vendors that come out as well.

For those wanting to vend, Our spaces are limited so please email us that you wish to vend and include a description of your booth so we can add you to our list of vendors on the event info.

Those wishing to share their knowledge with us in a workshop, please email us with a short blurb about the work shop and a preferred time. We do not guarantee that we can give you what you ask for but we will try to get it as close as possible to that.

Our email is [email protected]

As we get closer to the gathering, an event guide will be posted here and updated as things come in.

We will also be posting info on our webpage under the Beltane tab. The website is www.earthspiritpeople.org

We look forward to folks coming out and sharing our magical space with us.

Oh and don’t forget to bring drums…..

Feraferia by Jo Carson and John Reed (virtual) Meet Jo Carson and John Reed, the visionary leaders of Feraferia – a Pagan tradition rooted in ancient Goddess worship. Delve into the history of Feraferia, sparked by artist and philosopher Fred Adams’ transformative vision of the Goddess in 1956. Learn how Feraferia embraces Faerie awareness, seasonally responsive rituals, and trance workings, fostering a deep connection with the Earth and Goddess. Jo and John will explain how individuals can join Feraferia, or infuse Feraferian principles into their own spiritual practices. Explore the enchanting world of Feraferia and its key symbol, the Enneasphere, which unifies the Wheel of the Year with diverse realms of Goddess awareness and Earth mysteries. Stay tuned as Jo Carson unveils a forthcoming Feraferia Tarot deck and book, promising an immersive journey into this deep tradition.
