Mother of the LandCome Play Like Pagans
at the 11th Midsummer Gather:

June 19-26, 2011
Eagle Cave Campground
Blue River, Wisconsin

Ahh, the bittersweet return to "Mundania." But listen! Time is ticking away... Only eleven more months the 2011 gather. Watch this site to learn more as our plans develop!

Remember, we cannot accept registrations at the gate, and we can only fit 150 folks into the campground! So watch for the registration materials and get yours in EARLY!

Note! 25% of the net proceeds for this event will be donated to the Sacred Paths Center.

2011 Registration Forms Coming Soon!

The Earth House Midsummer Gathering
is where you can have fun with others who share Earth-reverent beliefs. This will be a week of celebration and of sharing, of learning and of honoring one another's unique rituals. Meet new people, learn new ways, and
play like pagans!


Reservations are taken on a first come, first served basis.
Payments may be made through PayPal via our email address (on the registration form), or by check/money order.

~~HONORED GUESTS~~

Astrological Magick
Estelle Daniels,
Astrologer and Noted Author
Even though she has studied psychic and occult subjects since childhood, Estelle Daniels has only been around the Pagan Community since 1989. Author of “Astrologickal Magick” and co-author of “Pocket Guide to Wicca” and “Essential Wicca.” Estelle travels throughout the Midwest going to festivals, giving talks and generally hanging out with fellow Pagans. She lives in Minneapolis, and is always glad to give talks to groups, covens, classes and generally whoever listens. Estelle has her own website, with a number of great articles.

~~ENTERTAINMENT~~
Folk Magick
Singing Bear and Shelly Willowsong are two friends who love to sing songs with a message. As an acoustic band, they pull songs from many genres, including folk, rock, and country. Born in the magic of festivals, they’ve worked hard to keep making this magic together: and wrote songs – pagan songs, folk songs, love songs, even protest songs.

Robin "Catgut" McDowell
Violinist, fire spinner, occasional gypsy and beloved daughter of the Gather, Robin is now honored as the adult performer she has become. We welcome her back, looking forward to her music.

Three Poppet Opera
Nurtured in a childhood love of puppetry and story-telling, Three Poppet Opera is the brainchild of Otter and her variously-talented cohorts (and enablers). Pulling strings since 2006, this marionette troupe has amused children of all ages with entertainment from multiple cultures.

 

~~THINGS TO DO!~~

Chocolate
RITUALS
Naturally, a Midsummer observance. But we also have many other rituals planned, the ever-popular Chocolate Ritual - bring an open mind and, of course, some chocolate to share.

In the past we've had Shamanic journeys, Druidic rites, Nordic and Wiccan rituals.
(If you're interested in presenting, we're interested in hosting!)
