I was away at the Greenoaks Gathering last weekend and it was absolutely bloomin' brilliant, despite my tent half collapsing on the Friday night.
I danced so much that my 66-year-old body really felt the aches the next day. As well as music and dancing, the pagan festival offered talks and workshops. I taught one on dowsing. It's the first time I've run the class, but I hope to offer it again at other events. There was also a market, lovely food and drink, and the campsite even had some real flushing toilets with sinks and soap and loo paper!
The collage above shows some of the photos I took. Here's the details:
- Inkubus Sukkubus, the Saturday headline act.
- Fire dancers in the meadow.
- Handmade witch dolls with individual personalities plus and other creations by Hook and Broom.
- Mari Lwyd (horse skull hobby horses) face off against each other in the marquee.
- Music by guitar and fiddle in the market.
While I was there I had a go at crafting a Viking-style glass bead in a workshop run by Scarlet Impressions. I'll be blogging more about that later this week.
