Thankyou all so much for attending, selling, playing, singing, listening, serving, dancing,
speaking, eating, drinking, buying, sweeping, stacking, mopping……..
it’s so much better to go out with a bang than a trickle and a whimper.
It’s been a real slog to sell tickets the last couple of years.
Nothing ever ends, it only transforms
Time for a rest and to make way for new shoots to grow.
I’ll see you all at other times and places in the future ###

For our final Gippeswyck Pagan Gathering our opening ritual will be by us !
You all know most of us, we have been together as a Grove for the last 6 years, meeting up for rituals , studying together and creating new ways of working. Starting as a Druid drove with 2 of us as members of the Order of Bard, Ovates and Druids, and now both of us have entered the Ovate grade a couple of years ago and the others were studying the Bardic course materials. Still within a ‘Celtic’ framework, and very much Earth Animist centred, we have developed our own ways of working and have created our own Proto Celtic chant. We are a closed group but this will be our first public ritual.
Please feel free to bring a drum to help raise the energy to start what will be a fabulous day.

06/10/2025

If anyone would like to process in from outside like we always do, bringing in the ancestors from the burial mounds on the heath, then we welcome you to bring a drum.
