Harvest Ceremony presented by the Pagans Around the Hearth (P.A.T.H.)
Elmira-Corning Pagans at 11am
The Autumn Equinox is seen by some as the Pagan's version of Thanksgiving. We give thanks for the many harvests in our lives, and we also share our bounty with those whose harvests wre not so great. This is the core purpose of our whole celebration today, and the theme of our Opening Ceremony.
Bardic Circle, Appx. 1pm through 5pm
An area set aside for drumming, dancing, musicmaking, storytelling, or anything else that your Inner Muse desires. Some drums and instruments will be available. Children allowed to respectfully play here.
Henna Tattooing by Jamie "Elfin Willow"
Free Henna tattoos. A beautiful temporary body art with origins in the East. Small and simple hand designs, one per person, to allow for as many people as she can serve within an hour.
Face Painting with Jennifer and Cameron: Free face painting. Children first!
Painting Stones - a Children's workshop with Ann Marie
Have you seen the Stone Circle? Everyone is free to take one stone home with them from the Stone Circle. But do you want to paint your own rock? Here's a workshop just for that!

Paranormal Basics for the amateur Ghost Hunter with Rob Van Ness
Also known as "Ghost Hunting 101". We will go through types of hauntings, the gear most commonly used by investigators, and some basic terminology. Audience participation and personal stories and questions are encouraged, and we will also have some information on the formation of a local group. There are many different views on the paranormal, so just be sure to bring an open mind, and we'll have a good time.
Healing Hands with Jamie "Elfin Willow" and Phyllis
Children AND Adults are encouraged to attend this presentation, as we discuss hands-on healing methods such as Reiki, and discuss how everyone has some healing powers within their own hands. We will also create our very own Healing Hands art project, embedded with our own healing energies, to take home.
Closing Ritual at 6pm performed by the Pagans Around the Hearth
A simple closing to our day, giving thanks for our many blessings, for our chance to fellowship and network with other Pagans, and for our chance to share knowledge of our ways, and our harvest, with the greater community.
