2018 Wheel of The Year in Production

Guess what we’re working on? The 2018 Wheel of the Year Calendar is under way and needs material! Our annual publication, The Wheel of the Year, is made up of contributions from our Members and Guests. It's a very important means by which we do our outreach, distributing them for free to our mailing list, during festivals and expos, and to retail outlets.

We're looking for original articles, photos (un-edited high resolution files), and event information. We would love to see those Photos and Articles start coming in! The sooner we can get all our content, the sooner we can get the Calendar turned around and into your hands. Please send all submissions to This email address is being protected from spambots.

The New Well House

Work continues with our new well house, with the roof now framed and sheathed. Next up will be the HDPE membrane roofing. Plan is for the roof to be sod covered, minimizing it's visual impact of the hilltop. We will keep you posted on that.

The innards that make our water flow have been installed, tested and permitted for some time, making water for the camp.

New Moon Service

A note from Hunybee for this weekend's Moon Service:

The wheel of the year turns once more. There is a chill in the air and soon the trees will turn, presenting bright foliage of yellows, reds, oranges, and browns. It is the time of the autumn eqinox, and the time of Mabon.

A word needs to be said about this years Rising.

Griffith SR15 1461 1200 This is a special year for the Stone Circle, in as much as we will begin construction of "The North Copse." Older Members, perhaps much older Members, may recall Orren holding forth on The North Copse as a small elliptical feature set due North in the Stone Circle as a Circle within a Circle, in consonance with the Copse Features that frequently appear in the Neolithic structures of Northern Europe. A tightly spaced twenty foot ellipse of Standing Stones, the stones so closely spaced that they can not be walked through, and ideally cannot even be seen through. Conceived as a special place for prayer and contemplation.
