We honor the lord of the grain and god of the harvest as we give thanks for the abundance we’ve enjoyed this year. As a symbolic sacrifice of the best of our harvest, we will have a Wicker Man Ceremony. The Wicker Man is John Barleycorn – God of the Harvest – who sacrifices his life that we might have bounty, life and food.

Location: Hills between Orange County, CA and Lake Elsinore, CA

Camping: Highly recommended but not required

Temple of the Ninefold Goddess is celebrating its annual Beltane feast in an old grove of beautiful oak trees high in the hills where the spirits of the land are alive and present, and the vibrance of spring can be felt in every breath. Dress in your ancient Greek attire, bring your chalice and a chair, and join us as we dance the maypole, make offerings to the Dionysos stone and quicken our blood by the sacred fire. This event takes place over the weekend at a private campground. Many of us camp as it helps us get closer to the Earth, nature and the season – but camping is not required. We’ll hold ritual to honor the ancient ones, followed up by a feast of Greek food, and enjoy the fruit of the vine as well as the bread of the earth together.
