Suitable for both beginners starting their journey and those
with more experience they are essentially focused on ........
• family and community
• the sharing of information through workshops and lectures
• the celebration of Pagan and Heathen music, art and culture.
• networking and community building through discussions and
public forums
Previous
people who have attended include a multitude of paths, Eclectic, Wiccan,
Pagan, Heathen and Druid just to name a few, we all come
together in a spirit of community and respect for others who
may have a different path.
Magick Earth was established in March 2005, and held many festivals around the North Island,
With the permission of Polli and Ed who created it and own the
name "Magick Earth" we have carried on their traditions and
principals in our MEF festivals.
The
difference between MEF and many other festivals is that there
are no free tickets handed out, we
minimise our costs so it is affordable and we encourage
participation by everybody to create a community where we help
each other, we share the work load and we share our knowledge and experience.
MEF features stalls, lectures, workshops and
discussion forums as well as rituals appropriate to the timing
or theme of the festival. You may also find drumming circles or bardic
circles. They have also become a place for folks to get together
for Rites of Passage ceremonies such as Wiccanings (or Namings)
and Handfastings (Weddings).
MEF is a very family friendly place, most of us have
kids and they enjoy mixing together and entertaining each other
in a loosely supervised environment.
It is about honoring our Earth Mother, our Ancestors,
celebrating our individual chosen paths and connecting with
like-minded souls from many different traditions.
So I welcome any and all who wish to come along and get yourself
a dose of uplifting pagan community spirit.
Due to a minimal advertising budget we encourage you to
spread the word to others who may be interested.
At this time we would also like suggestions of lectures and
workshops you would like to attend and suggestions of people who
could be encouraged to offer workshops.
Only Stall Holders who are compatible with our community will be
there, this means they are pagans themselves and their
products and services are craft or pagan related.
Here are some of the
comments seen on Facebook about Holly frost 2010:

for many years, sang, danced, did laughter yoga, Medieval
combat, drumming, made many awesome friends and cant wait to do
it again soon! Love and hugs to all

WOW What an awesome weekend MEF rocks!!!!! Made
some cool new friends and caught up with ones I have not seen
for a while.
Back from Magick earth, awesome weekend,
reconnected with friends, made new ones. Always love being
there. Its a pity we cant have one every weekend
omg mef rocked thanks to everyone there and for all the things
that we learnt cant believe its been a year and a bit since i
went to the last moot but it shows that pagans are family no
mater what and you cant go there with expectations or views of
what things should be
yup i was wary last year because i wasn’t use to
being surrounded by other pagans i had online pagan friends but
you guys helped me realise that i was a part of a warm loving
environment
MEFs rule hun always have and they seem to get
better every time
