This year's performers and vendors!
Like the sirens of the sea she is oft campared with, Sharon's distinctive voice captivates audiences young and old, sweeping them away to otherworldly vistas of myth and magick. Enthralled at an early age by the indomitable spirit of the Celts and the power and melancholy of their songs, she made her first foray into music singing and accompanying herself on guitar, madola, and percussion in Celtic ensembles and as a solo act throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Equally fascinated by the myths and legends of the Celts, her music has found inspiration in such luminaries as Robin Williamson and William Butler Yeates. Finding in music the perfect vehicle for exploring these visionary landscapes, she has sought to fuse these elements together through her art. Writing in the "twilight language" that poets throughout the ages have used to traverse these mysteries, Sharon strives to craft songs that journey into the the soul's innermost landscapes, where vast and wondrous realms exist, reminding us that our lives can be epic everyday. Sharon and her longtime collaborator, Winter, record and perform with some of the Bay Area's most accomplished musicians. They have been heard on over 300 radio stations, played in a wide range of venues from grand to modest, enjoyed "top 10 status" on MP3 and NAR charts, and have captured the attention of major labels and independent labels alike. Their music has been featured in two independed films, "Beatific Vision" and "The Commune" . They are also the founding members of the gothic/world/rock band, Pandemonaeon. Sharon's commitment to her art remains firmly rooted in the archetypal language of myth, striving to meet her audience in the deep realms of the psyche. In so doing, she reminds us that we can all see the world through the eyes of enchantment.

ONE OF OUR MANY VENDORS FROM LAST YEAR'S EVENT!
OUR MAYPOLE FROM 2008
Isaac Bonewits is one of North America’s leading experts on ancient and
modern Druidism, Witchcraft, magic and the occult, and the rapidly growing Earth Religions movement.
A practicing Neopagan priest, scholar, teacher, bard, and polytheologian for over thirtyfive years, he has coined much of the vocabulary and articulated many of the issues that have shaped the rapidly growing Neopagan movement in the United
States and Canada, with opinions both playful and controversial.
He is the author of Real Magic, Authentic Thaumaturgy, The Pagan Man, Bonewits's Essential Guide to Witchcraft and Wicca (formerly Witchcraft: A Concise Guide),
and Bonewits's Essential Guide to Druidism, Neopagan Rites (formerly Rites of Worship), and (with his wife Phaedra) Real Energy (New Page March 2007) as
well as numerous articles, reviews and essays. He is a singer-songwriter with two-and-a-half albums to his credit. As a “spellbinding” speaker, he has educated, enlightened and entertained two generations of modern Goddess worshippers,
nature mystics, and followers of other minority belief systems, and has explained these movements to journalists, law enforcement officers, college students, and academic researchers.
He is the Founder and an Archdruid Emeritus of Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid
Fellowship, (the best known Neopagan Druid organization based in North America)
, a 3° Druid within the United Ancient Order of Druids (the best known Mesopagan Druid order), a retired High Priest in both the Gardnerian (“British Orthodox”) and
the N.R.O.O.G.D. (“California Heterodox”) traditions of Wicca
(Neopagan Witchcraft), an initiate of Santeria (Afro-Cuban Mesopaganism)
and the “Caliphate Line” of the Ordo Templi Orientis (Aleister Crowley’s
Mesopagan magical tradition), as well as a member of other Neopagan and Mesopagan Druid orders. He has been a member of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (“CUUPS”) for several years. Having survived four previous spouses (and vice versa), on July 23, 2004 he was handfasted to former CUUPS
Vice President, tarot expert, writer, and Wiccan Priestess, Phaedra Bonewits
(hope springs eternal). With her he has co-authored a book called Real Energy: Systems, Spirits, and Substances to Heal, Change, and Grow.
Articulate, witty, yet reasonably scholarly, he is currently writing books on
Halloween, Understanding Magic, and Polytheology. Should your topic be outside
his expertise, he can quickly refer you to colleagues, scholars and
spokespersons for any legitimate Neopagan movement. Those interested
in having him present a workshop or seminar may contact him directly at the
address below. To find out if he is appearing in your area, check his schedule page.
Isaac wishes it officially known that he is not “A Pagan Spiritual Leader,” but
merely one of the Neopagan movement’s better-known Unindicted Co-Conspirators...
Isaac will be having talks and will be available for tarot sessions throughout the day !
