Talks by- CaitlÃn Matthews, Practice in the 21st Century- CaitlÃn Matthews In this talk, CaitlÃn will explore the craft of shamanism in contemporary society. We discover how shamans work for the community not for themselves, uncover the ancestral heritage of our own shamanic traditions, and the ways in which we can honour the spirits everyday. See www.hallowquest.org.uk for current listings of courses and books.
Prof. Chris Knight, Using the Moon to Synchronise the Global Insurrection Since patriarchal religions took over, the sun has been worshipped and the moon marginalised. In ancient times, the three nights of dark moon were held sacred. This talk is about how to reconnect with the night sky.
Len Roberts-The Words of the Wise. on sacred writings and the inner way of using words in magical work. This talk will give an indication of the way of the practitioner of esoteric magic and will speak to those who know that there is something more. Len Roberts began his magical career as an esoteric witch some 36 years ago.
Ailean MacRath-MacPharlain Fore- Fathers of Modern Witchcraft

Entertainment by-
Blue Horses! "Probably the only Celtic-Heavy-Rock-Goth-Band in the world!" Fusing the passionate intensity of Celtic themes, a heavy rock and roll mindset and stunning improvisations, Bluehorses' music is a genuinely unique hybrid. Formed in the mid 1990's, Bluehorses are fronted by founder and lead singer Irish/Welsh Gothess Lizzy Prendergast’s electric violin, electric Celtic harp, space-mandolin and synthesiser and led by her co-founder and co-songwriter Nic Waulker. Nics' ferociously precise drums are joined by the thundering bass of Nathan Waulker and guitar histrionics from Jay MacDonald, producing a serious noise in a contemporary but classic rock mould.

From America- Woodland! over for only a short time and your only chance to see Woodland Folk in London. They run the amazing Faerieworlds festival in America. Their music evokes the Land of the Fay and brings it to the reach of mere mortals. Improvising, weaving the music in and out of Celtic themes, like a dream half remembered. Magic hangs in the air and dances with those that feel the rhythms they invoke. “Into The Twilight, �?is a W.B. Yeats poem of the same name set to music by harpist/vocalist Kelly Miller-Lopez. Leave the mundane world behind, loose yourself into the Fairies worlds, for an all too short time.
Harmonic Concordance* Beautifully sung, etheral chants and songs.
Daughters of Gaia * Beloved of audiences, Daughters of Gaia have everyone up and dancing. Barbara and her team love to sing and play at our fests, she tells me that no other audience can match you. The atmosphere at our fests are so relaxed that other entertainers join her on stage and on the dance floor, having a wonderful jam session that all enjoy so much. With everyone clapping, drumming and dancing you can't tell where the entertainers stop and the audience starts, the whole auditorium bounces with energy.
Barking Bateria Samba Band* The Earthy beat of the drums reaching into your very spirit, astounding rhythms pounding, entwining and dancing in the air. Come, dance and feel the rhythm of the heat.
