The Green Man Beltane Ritual with The Temple of Ced
April 27 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$25
This year’s event is on Saturday April 27th! Gates open 1:00 pm.
Come join us with the Green Man Pagan Community Tribe for a good old-fashioned Beltane Rite! This celebration is not at the store, but at our usual offsite Beltane location, which is a most amazing magical location, hidden in the outer reaches of faeriedom, which as many know, is adjacent to Van Nuys.
No charge for kids under 13. However, a warning: It being Beltane & us being Pagans, the theme of the festival may at times be a bit suggestive and adult; as long as you’re cool with that, kids are most welcome & we expect there will be some present.
***PARKING IS, AS ALWAYS, AN ISSUE. PLEASE CONSIDER CARPOOL, UBER, LYFT, AND SIMILAR OPTIONS***
Come, enjoy old world Pagan Pole dancing. Rub up against nature and a few frolicking nature lovers as we turn this year’s Wheel. And there can never be enough frolickers, right? Come experience the singeing of your unspeakables as you jump the Beltane Fire! Beat the ground, dance and make merry like a loon with bells on! Mischief, mayhem, what a pair, a bawdy line twixt foul and fair!
We plan to start the festivities at around 1:30 pm with a drumming circle. So please bring a drum and join the jam fest. Or wear something sexy so you can entertain the drummers with a dance!
This is a picnic-type event so again this year we encourage folks to bring some picnic eats for themselves to enjoy. Also, feel free to bring something for sharing on the Drinks table! Note: if you plan on drinking, please also plan on having your own food to soak up some of that booze, even if you do believe it actually helps your coordination for the Maypole! We have tried it sober & buzzed, but the Maypole Dance just seems to crash into mayhem every year regardless!
The Ritual will kick off somewhere in the neighborhood of 3.00pm. I say somewhere in the neighborhood as folks do have issue finding parking and so arrive late. And we are a large gathering, so getting folks in just takes a bit more time! Plus, festival leaders may be possessed by Faeries at this point, so ballpark times is really the best we can hope for.
The Main Rite is expected to go about an hour, give or take, depending on how lost we all get. After Ritual we can continue with feasting & socializing…jumping the Bale Fires (Naked? Of course it’s far too dangerous with your clothes on. Kidding!). Or perhaps, if you like, we can get into some more drumming?
Again: remember people this is Los Angeles and it can get hot. Please bring refreshments you would like to drink. AND out of respect to us, please abide by the Law: people need to be over 21 to drink alcohol! Plus adults who are over 21, please show the art of adulting by drinking responsibly so we can all get to have some fun.
This ritual is offsite & tickets pre-purchased are absolutely required.
