Autumn Moon recap

HeathenAlchemist

Oh boy was that a lot of driving but it was absolutely worth it! The location was beautiful, the crowds filled with lovely people, and the weather as good as could possibly have been asked for.

I was too busy to turn around much less take pictures of my setup like I usually do, so here, have this great picture of my dark fae armor that one of my wonderful friends took for me!

The best part of the day was seeing how much was collected for the food drive. Y’all warm my frozen heart 😉

The 2023 calendar is already starting to fill up and I couldn’t be happier about it. My favorite season is finally here- enjoy Spooky Season and all the beautiful dark days that follow.

Confirmed: Autumn Moon!

I am *very* excited to be part of this year’s Autumn Moon Pagan Pride Festival in Virginia Beach! This is a great community of people that I’ve known for a long time, and I’m glad to be coming home for the event.

The Autumn Moon Festival is held every year (without plagues) and combines a celebration of the season with a usually very successful canned food drive. The event is part of the Pagan Pride Project, and has a long history of being a family-friendly good time.

This year, the Autumn Moon Festival is on Saturday, October 22 and will be held at Bayville Farms Park in Virginia Beach.

See you there!

A Faire Time by the Sea

We almost didn’t make it.

But now I’m back in action with the all-clear and we’re ready to build, craft, plunder and party- and we got a chance to do all of the above at Ocean Renaissance. Though really, it’s pretty much impossible to go wrong when you’re surrounded by pirates and mermaids and fairies and stilt-walking bards and floors of amazing artists with tables of treasure just waiting for you.

And yes, we’re already planning to go back next year.

And we’re home!

The last few months of steady shows have been both rewarding and exhausting in the best way. My next task is to rebuild the inventory in time for Ocean City Renaissance Festival in July.

If you’re just tracking me down after a show, I’m most active over on Instagram where I’m @heathenalchemist so be sure to give that a follow. Please feel free to use the contact page on this site for any questions or to request custom work.

I’ll be in my workshop. Stay cool! I’ll see everyone in July.
