Spent yesterday with friends clearing the grove that we are going to be using for the first time at Hasfest and cleaning up the grounds in readyness for camping and festivities, it looks good now, can't wait for Hasfest in another 2 weeks.
Hasfest is a free small local Chesterfield Pagans event in the grounds of the pub we use for our moots, it has fire, drumming, dancing, workshops and stalls selling lovely handcrafted items. I'll be there with mine;0)
I'll give you a quick run down of the events/attractions -
HASFEST 2012
18th May - 20th May
Friday night opening party
8pm - midnightish in the main marquee
Ragnarokk Radio presents an evening of classic Hasfest tunes climaxing with 3 hours of psy-trance euphoria presented by our live resident shamanic mechanic/DJ
Saturday Events
Stalls - A fine array of quality and shiny goods for sale
Workshops - some fantastic workshops this year including meditation groups, shamanic techniques and belly dancing, mother Earth Journey. More workshops TBC
Nine Men's Morris - Led by the awesome Bob, not quite sure what this entails, but no doubt it will be the usual brew of chaos and frivolity
Goddess and Blessings Tree - for your libations, blessings, honouring and wishes
Saturday Night
8pm onwards Burning Man followed by fireside drumming and dancing. For some the highlight of the weekend, the primal fusion of rhythm, flame and togetherness. Bring drums, rattles, didgeridoos etc let us make righteous noise!
New for 2012
The Grove
The Hasfest crew have been working hard to create a small sacred place on the event site. This will be an intimate wooded area for workshops, meditations and ritual. Please bring, or over the weekend create, items of decorations such as charms, symbols, fetishes and alter pieces etc. We plan to hang these within the Grove, honouring this space and creating a balanced spiritual environment for everyone to share.
Sonic Jam - putting the rock'n'roll into Hasfest!
On Saturday, around 3pm in the marquee will be Hasfest's first Sonic Jam. Everyone is invited to come together and make massive music/noise. Bring instruments, drums or just come and groove to the Hasfest Chaos Ensemble. Amps, guitars and drumkit will be provided, so anyone wishing to rock out, freak out or just get it on, this is your big moment. As stated this is a frst, and may be the last but at least we can make history.
The Crew are also on a mission to build a larger, permanent fire pit this year and a bigger Burning Man and yes he will have his magnificent phallus to bless and decorate, though we may need considerably more ribbon!
That's all for now brothers and sisters - shamanismpaganismrocknroll!!
