The Wild Hunt

Lughnasadh with New Moon in the Valley
2025-08-03 13:00 - 17:00 (America/New_York) | UMass Sunwheel
New Moon in the Valley invites you to join us for a family-friendly Lughnasadh ritual!

This is the first of 3 harvest festivals observed by many eurocentric traditions, often celebrated with Bardic competitions and feats of strength. As such, we will be enjoying some outdoor games together (corn hole, horseshoes) after a harvest-themed ritual. We invite all attendees to bring seasonally appropriate items for our altar and any drums if they would like to provide some percussion for the games.

Post-ritual we will also enjoy a modest community potluck, please bring food to share (label all ingredients).

This event is free to the public. Cash donations to offset expenses and the cost of future events are welcome but not mandatory. Our events are rain or shine, dress for the weather! The UMass Sunwheel can be hard to search on a map, here’s some guidance in locating us:www.umass.edu/sunwheel/pages/directions.html

In the spirit of supporting the larger community we will be collecting non-perishable food items for donation to the Amherst Survival Center.

New Moon in the Valley is inclusive of all life affirming traditions, paths, perspectives, backgrounds, ages, cultures, genders, abilities, and experiences. We expect all members and attendees to be open-minded and respectful.

We are a Pagan networking group in Western Massachusetts who seek to build community through public Pagan/Earth Centered holiday celebrations and providing opportunities for workshops to foster personal growth and learning about Pagan traditions.

Our goal is to bring accessible rituals to the general public. If you want to get involved in future events please follow our facebook page, reach out to a host, or ask us at the ritual!

Summer Magick Fest
2025-06-12 - 2025-06-15 | Scotland
Summer Magick Fest has announced the schedule of events for its fourth year building an Earth-centered spiritual community in Florida. Each year Summer Magick Fest invites a mix of new and returning headliners in order to bring the best national presenters to Florida and keep them here to deepen their teaching. The theme for 2025 is “Building our Magickal Family,” and the ritual cycle will focus on all the forms family takes in our spiritual lives. From ancestral whispers to spirit guides, from aunties to beloveds, our magickal families are diverse and wonderful and sometimes challenging. Our main ritual will carry participants to a place of ancestral healing to care for our forgotten family and return us to the loving embrace of Summer Magick Fest to envision a future where our families are agents of cultural transformation.
Workshop presenters are hand-chosen by the organizers to fill two parallel tracks of learning and exploration. To refresh our spirits, Friday night we will don our kilts and dance to Eireann’s Call, the latest creation from vocalist David Doersch and percussionist Cat Doersch, familiar to pagan audiences as the forces behind long-time favorite Celtic band, Coyote’s Run.
The event moves to a larger venue at the Renaissance Orlando Airport Hotel, 5445 Forbes Place, Orlando, Florida 32812. Upgrades to this move include lower nightly rates of $129/night. Please reserve your room soon with no payment necessary.
All details are available at our website, Summer Magick Fest, where you will find links to register and to reserve a hotel room. We offer tickets for a single day, weekend, and the full event. Be sure to follow our Facebook page for up-to-date information.

IshtarFest
2025-06-06 - 2025-06-08 | Zoom Meeting
lshtarFest will be held virtually on Zoom from June 6-8, 2025. We will have classes, rituals, cooking demonstrations, musical performances, and other spiritual offerings surrounding Sumerian mythology and culture.
This year’s festival, Building on Herstory, celebrates the legacy of the ancient Sumerian goddess Inanna, a powerful symbol of transformation, love, war, and sovereignty. As one of the earliest recorded deities, Inanna’s mythos has shaped the stories of divine femininity, resilience, and personal evolution for millennia. We also celebrate her later forms as Ishtar, Astarte, and the planet Venus.
Through this theme, we explore how Inanna’s journey—from her bold descent into the underworld to her triumphant return—continues to inspire modern narratives of empowerment, rebirth, and leadership. We honor the foundation laid by her ancient myth while building upon it, weaving her essence into our contemporary understanding of feminine strength, spirituality, and justice.
Join us as we reclaim, reinterpret, and revive Inanna’s wisdom through art, storytelling, ritual, music, and community gatherings. Together, we build upon herstory, forging new paths while staying rooted in the divine wisdom of the past.
Early bird registration through May 6. Wicked early registration by April 10.

Beltaine
2025-04-30 - 2025-05-01 | Scotland
Beltane, Bealtaine, May Day, Floralia, Protomayia, and Walpurgis Night, to name just a few. These festivals herald the coming of summer, a time of merriment, celebration, and bounty, a liminal time when the barriers between our world and the otherworld were thin. In many traditions and cultures, it is a time of divine union and fertility.
