Explore the Schedule of Events of Beltaine in the Grove

Gates open Friday morning (9 AM). 

Vendors will be open throughout the day as they are ready. Come to the Beltaine Marketplace, find and experience something magickal, new to you, for you, for a friend, for the new Queen and King! Take home a treasure… or two… or three!

Join Seanachai for a magickal intention with Sigils. In this time of political injustice running rampant, there are ways we can protect, empower, connect, and strengthen ourselves and community at large. The sigils we will make come from one of the most prolific voices of today’s Witches Resistance movement, Laura Tempest Zakroff. The more of us who put our own intention into these sigils, the more they will reverberate and resonate along the web of energy that connects us all.

Join Seanachai to make a “traditional witch’s belt,” also known as a Cingulum. With a congulum in hand you have a versatile tool that can help with consecrating (a rite to bless your magickal tools and more), and establish/re-establish energetic bonds with items you hold dear.

Supplies will be provided.

Join KaTerra and other past May queens – AKA May Mas – for a cup of afternoon tea and charcutiere snacks while stories of the May Queen experience and journeys are shared. 

This is an excellent time to ask questions and learn about our community Beltaine traditions that have taken place over the years.

Join Miss Remy in a sacred hour dedicated to Transgener Mysteries. There is much to learn, to share, and to elighten on what it means to identify as transgender, and how one can be empowered as suc. All are welcome to join however you identify. This is a special opportunity not to be missed!

Join King Dark Wolf on a guided walking meditation. With life comes grief, trials and tribulations. But there is also growth, reflection and redemption. Allegory can be a powerful way to connect within when dealing with trauma or when in search of guidance towards personal growth. Through allegory, the Stations of the Unicorn will be presented as a walking meditation where you will discover the transformative power of storytelling.

The original purpose of this workshop is to provide an intentional opportunity for anyone who finds themselves dealing with the trauma and grief from the unexpected passing of Ashtyn Martinez. We also want to acknowledge and support anyone else who may be dealing with a past trauma or grief not directly related to the events of BITG 2024.

This decade we find ourselves in has brought with it many such examples many times over. It is our hope that this walk through Allegory will help others towards any healing they may be on the journey towards seeking.

All are welcome and encouraged to join.

Come one, come all!

If this is your first BITG, we request your attendance for our important Newbie Talk. We want to be sure everyone understands the intentions of this Festival and the Main Ritual.   

We will also review what our new May Queen and King can expect. If you are called to step forward, this is your time to learn more about what to do, when, and how. 

We will have a community potluck dinner prior to the Bardic Circle. Bring your own plate, bowl, cup, and utensils. Please also bring a dish to share (enough for 5-8 people). Be sure to provide a label with all ingredients listed. 

We will gather in the main festival area to share food and make memories. Please keep in mind that it may be hot weather-wise and food safety is important. Keep this in mind as you are deciding what to bring.

Gates are closed between Friday night (7 PM) until Saturday morning (9 AM). We ask that no one arrives during these times.

Wear your favorite Kaftan (again, or for the first time if you missed the day before)! Get ready for an evening of sharing, performances, entertainment (including a sneak peek reading from Seanachai’s every progressing novel, The Sybyl Wytch Word), and community bonding!

BITG is all about creating community and working magick together. What better way to get to know each other than with a great, big Bardic Circle?!? We invite everyone to join in the fun, share a song or dance, a short story, poem, joke, riddle, limerick, or whatever else tickles your fancy! Don’t fret if you don’t feel like the performing type – share a little something about yourself or tell the tale of a memorable experience. We all have something to offer!

Adult hours begin after the Bardic Circle closes.

Gates open Saturday morning (9 AM).

Vendors will be open throughout the day as they are ready. Come to the Beltaine Marketplace, find and experience something magickal, new to you, for you, for a friend, for the new Queen and King! Take home a treasure… or two… or three!

Gates are closed for the remainder of the weekend on Saturday (1 PM). Please do not arrive after 1 PM on Saturday.
