Wicker Man 2024 will start at 4pm with face painting and entertainment.
The highlight is the ceremony at 6:30pm to release the hardships, difficulties, and burdens we are carrying.
We will have a tent with a box in it, and a supply of paper and pencils. Here you can write anything you want to release on pieces of paper and place them in the box. This box will then be carried, procession style, into the field where it will be placed inside an effigy and set alight.
This year's effigy is still to be announced.
This event is inspired by historical Viking Age and Celtic ceremonial practices. Please feel free to immerse yourself by wearing ceremonial garb and/or face paint.
**IMPORTANT: We do not recommend going barefoot, because of possible debris and gravel on the field**
This is not a religious ceremony. it is a community ceremony to honor nature and our ancestors, and to lighten the weight we are carrying.
Wicker Man 2024 is an ALL INCLUSIVE event. This means it is family friendly and ALL are welcome to attend regardless of your beliefs or spiritual path. Ravenwood Meadery strives to create and maintain a safe space for all.
