academically accredited magician, graduating in 1970 with a B.A. in
magic
and thaumaturgy from the University of California at Berkeley. He is
the
founder of Ar nDraiocht Fein, the largest Neopagan Druid organization
in
the world. He's also an outrageously entertaining and enlightening
speaker. This will be a real Workshop in the sense that all the
participants will get hands-on practice in casting Spells to increase
wealth. We WILL be purchasing Lottery tickets in the middle of this
Workshop, so if you don't want to take a chance of winning a lot of
money,
don't come!
Also featuring:
* A beautiful wooded setting vaguely near Philadelphia...
* Interesting Workshops
* Free Information about Neopaganism, Wicca and Druidry
* A Bardic competition, featuring Song, Stories, Satire and Poetry
(entry
fee is: $5 per submission)
* A Guild Showcase, highlighting the work of the guilds of ADF
* A Pie Baking Competition (entry fee is: one pie)
* A Mead Competition (entry fee is: 2 bottles of each mead you enter)

Rhiannon will be channeled in Ritual and be there to answer
questions
and bestow Her Blessings

fresh
fruits and vegetables of the season
* An exciting Auction of many valuable treasures.

Just back off, you guys just love to beat down of non OBOD groups, but
it is a valid path.

Sounds like a blast... unfortunate that it's on the wrong coast-line.

It is indeed a blast. I've entered the bardic competitions, enjoyed
the mead tastings, and thoroughly enjoyed the company. The minor
fee to cover event staging is trivial. Some of the trolls here get fixated
on money. They seem to think events like this can be produced for
free and would have you believe the motivations behind the events
are monetary profit. That is, of course, utter nonsense. Seldom do
they even make back the cost of staging the event, let alone
accumulate any profit.

In my book no path is valid that charges one red cent for anything. But that
is just my opinion and don't pay any attention to me. I certainly do not
represent the pop Druid opinion.

Heaping piles of derision and scorn on anyone and everyone is
their only skill. I've been to the Red Oak Grove Fall Fest on a
few occasions and can say with authority that they are an interesting
and dedicated group of folks. I may not subscribe to their particular
take on Druid spirituality, but as a group they have much to offer.

Here's a money spell for you: chant "I will find a job" twelve times while
circling your trash-can fire (don't forget to do it naked, preferably with
four other naked
LOL - I have seen too many of those on the net, does fall into the catagory
of prayer?

to talk about the iona grove of UAOD, of which he is a member. Much of
who he is he owes to the UAOD. And by the way, I have a PhD in
druidology, and got mine back in the sixties.

As a former pursewarden/treasurer for Red Oak, I can honestly say that
I
make more money in one day at my "real job" than the grove typically
makes
in a year... And as much as we enjoyed having Fall Fest out at Four
Quarters Farm, the reason we haven't in a few years is that, frankly,
we
can't afford it! We lost money at every single Fall Fest we had out
there. :-/
