8Th Annual Southern Maine Pagan Pride Day

August 13,2011 turned out to be a very nice day, between the weather and PPD. It was a day of fun and learning.  With 24 different vendors , there was plenty to see and to buy. There were some unique items that I had not come across before.
Our table was set and we were off and running- questions, learning, educating. That's what we are here for. Your memberships help us help those that need it. So if you are thinking of joining, stop thinking about it and help a great cause, and JOIN !

 The day started out quiet with the wonderful smooth sounds of  Christopher LaFond . He played and sang beautifully. There were 7 workshops that went on throughout the day. My personal favorite was with Raven Grimassi-" Old World Magick". He is fantastic speaker. If you have never had the opportunity to listen to him, take the opportunity coming up on Sept 18th at EMPPD. You wont regret it !
Other workshops included: Sacred Sounds by Lorelei Greenwood-Jones, The Secret Ingredient Cooking with Heirloom Magic- by Dawn Hunt, Asa-Who? A brief Introduction to the Asatru/Heathenry:Nothern European Mythology- Janine Marie, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, What's your Temperment?- Christopher La Fond, Ocean Oracle:Seashell Reading- Michelle Hanson, and  Animal Totems- Lorelei Greenwood-Jones.
The amazing performances continued throughout the day. There were The Sisters of the Sun Tribal Belly Dance, Different Drummer Joyful Heaerts Club Band, Jenna Greene, and Kellianna with her chants inspired by myth, magic, sacred places and ancient times.  Great energy !


 
A fun day was had by all - then to top it off, the moon glowed in the night sky over the ocean. What a perfect end to the day........Blessed Be.
