September 28th Pagan Pride day in Akron - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

pan6467 · 08-22-2006, 07:28 AM

They are having a huge event and since I know there are a few pagans here thought I would advertise.

Lady Sage would know more so IM her or reply here so she can give you more info.

(She just didn't want to start the thread.)

Why? We don't bite.

So...what, exactly, does this event entail? Just a parade? Milk and cookies after? A skyclad street dance?

It's going to entail a few rituals, some highland games, of course the readings, a fire of celebration, classes, etc. I know they are planning to have the press cover it and they want to make it a yearly event, so they need people attending.

Plus, what better way to meet yours truly...... well except the penal system, but this saves you from having to commit a crime and try to get a cell near me.

I really don't know that much, I just attended a luncheon Sun. where they were discussing last minute details.

I'll have Lady Sage post all the details.

Bill O'Rights · 08-22-2006, 08:16 AM

Well...obviously I'm not going to make it. (unless my company's Twinsburg operation begs for help again, at around that time

) But it sounds...interesting.
I shall expect a full report, upon completion of the event, along with pictures.

Sounds fascinating...but I live nowhere near Ohio!

amonkie · 08-22-2006, 03:43 PM

How far is Akron from Rochester? 6 Hours?

Lady Sage · 08-23-2006, 06:57 PM

More like 4. I have made it from Canton to Batavia in 4 doing the speed limit.

Yes, medieval games, a childrens area, workshops, drum circles, vendors, readers, rituals, free food and door prizes out the yin yang.

This is a Mabon (harvest) festival. Feel free to ask for additional info or specifics.

I have seen how select people can be over the creation of a new thread. I have vowed never to create one. It never even occured to me to announce the festival here. It's just kinda one of those... I have enough stress in my life than to have to worry about getting yelled at for starting a thread kinda things.

TexanAvenger · 08-31-2006, 09:45 PM

Were I not 10 1/2 hours away...

I'm with BOR, I'd love to see/hear what went down anyway in spite of not being there.

/me is jealous

hagatha · 09-01-2006, 03:15 AM

Mabon is the one pagan holiday I never really got. Can someone give some detail on what the signiticance is?

Lady Sage · 09-01-2006, 09:09 AM

The festival is September 23rd not the 28th. Mabon is our harvest holiday... think of it as the pagan thanksgiving.

hunnychile · 09-08-2006, 04:31 PM

This event sounds like a truly fun time for everyone & thanks a bunch for posting it here on tfp! TFP still rocks!!! More info. would be appreciated.

After living in N. CA. for 16 years (and now back in N.E. Ohio - by choice BTW)... I would love to go to this event BIG TIME! Northern Ohio isn't as provincial as most people believe that it is.

Lady Sage · 09-08-2006, 04:36 PM

What kind of info would you like?

hunnychile · 09-08-2006, 05:11 PM

Well my Dear Lady Sage,
Where and when this event occurs and directions from Boardman Ohio. Thanks for the smiling face in regard to this event. Is there an online address to see what's in store?

With many appy tidings,

Many Thanks for the details Lady Sage !!!!!

Is Burning Sage a band? Hope so.

Or did the powers that be find out that you are a witch?! JK.........

Lady Sage · 09-11-2006, 05:01 AM

Yes, they are a band... My mother nearly burned me when I came out of the broom closet

Then she nearly had a coronary when she found out I had been for 15 years.
