Magick Earth Easter Festival 2011

Magick Earth events are gatherings and celebrations for people who follow the earth and nature based faiths, religions and beliefs. They are essentially focused on...

• family and community
• networking and community building through discussions and public forums
• the sharing of information through workshops and lectures
• the celebration of pagan and heathen music, art and culture

Previous people who have attended include a multitude of paths, Wiccan, Pagan, Heathen and Druid just to name a few, we all come together in a spirit of community and respect for others who may have a different path.

Established in March 2005 there are several Magick Earth Festivals held around the North Island each year.

The difference between Magic Earth and other festivals is that we minimise our costs so it is affordable and we encourage participation by everybody to create a community where we help each other and share our knowledge and experience.

Each Magick Earth event features stalls, lectures, workshops and discussion forums as well as rituals appropriate to the timing or theme of the festival. Some have drumming circles or bardic circles. They have also become a place for folks to get together for rites of passage ceremonies such as wiccanings (or namings) and handfastings (weddings).

Magick Earth is a very family friendly place, most of us have kids and they enjoy mixing together and entertaining each other in a loosely supervised environment.

It is about honouring our Earth Mother, our ancestors, celebrating our individual chosen paths and connecting with like-minded souls from many different traditions.

The venue has dorm space with mattress for about 100 people and plenty of room for tents.

The price includes dinner on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Other meals are available to purchase from the Magick Kitchen or you can bring your own.

We welcome you all and encourage you to tell any friends and family who may be interested about it.

At this time we would also like suggestions of lectures and workshops you would like to attend and suggestions of people who could have their arm twisted to offer these workshops.

Only stall holders who are compatible with our community will be there and they include:

Pebbles & potions - purveyors of new age and pagan stuff including books, cards, crystals, drums, dragons, feng shui, fire stuff, giftware, herbs, incense, jewellery, oil vaporizers, pagan supplies, salt lamps, tarot & bags.

Assorted readers and healers will also be there.
