We’ll look at several magickal concepts that can help us increase our abundance and our bank balance. Come dance around in the field of infinite possibilities.
Energy Works I – Grounding and Shielding – 1:30 pm Healer’s Pavilion – Klytus
I personally consider Grounding and Shielding to be the foundational skills for anyone and everyone who works with energy. Grounding is a technique where we form an energetic link with Mother Earth, Herself, to help us cleanse, purify, and strengthen our personal energies. Shielding is a technique for keeping external energies out of our own energy. When it comes to working with energy, keeping your own energy as clear of external “contamination” as possible is critical, which makes these skills very important. For as simple as these concepts may sound, not all people know how to ground well, and even a number of seasoned energy workers are not skilled with building and maintaining good shields. This workshop offers tips, guidance, and practical exercises for beginners and experts alike.
Gender Inclusivity in Pagan Spaces- 3:00 PM Basketball Court Pavilion – Alice Black
During this class, we will be going over various ways to make your magical spaces, more inclusive to all, no matter what gender orientation your attendee’s are. Odin and Loki themselves were Gender Fluid, and our spaces should honor all choices and paths.
Cell Popping – Temporary Symbol Microbrands – 3:00 pm Tin can – Morgan McNulty
We will be exploring the use of a Violet Wand as a magical tool. Violet wands literally channel energy into your body and with magical intention we can harness that energy. Offering discussion, instruction, and practice, this workshop will focus on using the violet wand to draw an intentional symbol on a person’s body. The heat from the electricity will usually leave a mark that lasts 2-4 weeks. This mark does not break the skin. It is very similar to a sunburn. The discussion portion will cover different symbol sets, the practice of intentional pain processing, and the practice of ordeal in general.
Brian Henke Concert
IPMA Best Male Artist winner both in 2019 and again in 2020, Brian Henke composes and performs his music like a painter putting images on canvas, a kind of sonic shaman, drawing his inspiration from the world around him.
Meet and Greet Game Night – 8:00 PM Teen Space
Astronomy Observing- 10:30 pm Soccer Field – Mark the Druid
Come learn about the heavens as Mark the Druid takes you on a tour from our home, the Earth Mother, out into the night sky. An 8 inch telescope will guide us on our journey, but this time your views will be different. A camera will be attached to the telescope to give you enhanced live views of galaxies, nebulae and star clusters! We may have a relatively brighter sky, as the Moon will be in heavily waning gibbous phase during FSG this year. Even if you have joined us before, every year and every night is different!
We will exit our solar system, discuss some of the constellations, and their significance. We will view the Ring and Dumbbell planetary nebulae, which are the ghosts of stars long passed, and we will also look at the Hercules Globular cluster. Finally, we will gaze millions of light years away to view the famous Whirlpool Galaxy, Bode’s Galaxy, as well as some others. We will also feature the moon this year due to its prominence in the night sky these evenings. Its craters, mountains, and lava fields will be on display for those who wish to have a look. Even with the moon’s presence, the camera and telescope will see through any light pollution to give you live images in FULL COLOR!
Unfortunately, the planets will rise too late this year to be observed and will be early morning objects until the fall.

The Magickal Properties of Color: Your Personal Colors – 10:00 am Front of the Dining Hall – James Welch
What’s your favorite color today? It might be different from your favorite color last year, last week, or even yesterday. Your aura contains all the colors of the rainbow, so the whole spectrum is present in your body. Many of these colors play an important part in your life! From your choice of clothing to the way you decorate your home, color influences your mood, energy level, creativity, and overall well-being. There are also colors associated with the date and given name at birth, that cannot be changed. These are colors that are yours and like them or not, they have lessons to teach you in this lifetime. Grab a pen and join Jim for a set of exercises to determine your personal colors. He’ll show you how you can start using the power of color to improve both the magickal and mundane aspects of your life.

Trance Possession for the Spirits of the Future – 8:00 pm – Tin Can – UTOS
In this open circle, The Universal Temple of Spirits presents a service for the Spirits of the Future, honoring them in their manifestations through drumming, dance, song, and art. The service will begin a half an hour earlier with a sung litany prayer to set the space. All are welcome to join in with this. And then the drums start. The singing and dancing continues throughout, and we call our Spirits into ourselves to share our celebration.
This is an open circle; you may join late or leave early (although you’ll probably miss some good stuff if you do). This is a Pantheistic working, so we will honor Spirits from around the globe and sing in their native languages when possible. Please note that this is not an open drum circle; it is a possession-based working. The more active your participation, the more exciting the service, so…
Please bring: A Spirit you wish to honor representing The Future. A song for them, if you have one. A design for them, as we will be drawing for our individual Spirits. Altar objects, if you have them. You may wish to dress in the colors of the Spirit you’ll be honoring. Please cover your bits for this ritual. Donations of (individually wrapped) food, drink, or money for supplies are appreciated, but not mandatory.
The Universal Temple of Spirits is a celebratory group practicing in the Global Spirits tradition. The celebrations welcome all Spirits from around the globe in harmony. Rituals are theme-based, rather than pantheon-based, and incorporate what we have in common as humans: shared food, dance, song, drumming, art, and possession trance. Global Spirits is a harm-none tradition. No one is required to partake of alcohol.

Let’s Get Vulgar – 8:00 PM – Teen Space – Patty Worlledge
This is a class that has been very popular every year that I have offered it. It is a safe outlet to be free and open with speech and actions as long as the ONE RULE is followed. The ONE RULE is **** DO NOT be hurtful or demeaning to another A.K.A. DO NOT be a douche. While that freedom is being had a bit of {cough cough}education on the etymology of the words deemed as vulgar{cough cough} is thrown in for good measure. Chaos reigns supreme under my watchful eye and stupid stick for anyone not smart enough to follow the ONE RULE.

Bring pictures or any mementos you see fit.
This is both a remembrance and a chance for healing advice. We will make a Circle and send them intentions. We will have call-outs to those we think of spontaneously.

Honoring Ancestors through Genealogical Research – 7:00 PM Teen Space – Scott Mohnkern
“He who is remembered lives”
For many pagans, honoring our ancestors can be a big part of our practice. While we normally think of having rituals that honor our ancestors, one of the best ways to honor them is to learn more about them.
Fortunately with the advent of the internet, genealogical research is no longer limited to endless hours in libraries dusting off books, or traveling to distant lands to talk to one person for five minutes about one of our ancestors.
In this workshop, we’ll talk about different corners of the Internet where you can find genealogical information, both through traditional research, and through DNA research.
We’ll also talk about once you’ve got some information, what you can do with it.

Manannán mac Lir is a sea god most honored in Ireland and the Isle of Man; ‘Mac Lir’ means “son of the sea”. As well as being a sea god, He is a
psychopomp and a gatekeeper to the Otherworld. Manannán has strong ties to the Isle of Man, and at Midsummer, the Manx people offer bundles of reeds, meadow grasses
and yellow flowers to Him in a ritual “paying of the rent,” accompanied with prayers for His aid and protection in fishing. We will gather at the lake and
