ESA's Sun Song Mini -Fest, and 2nd Saturday
Weekend of July 11-12, 2009
You're Invited!
We at ESA have a nice little surprise for all our members and friends! We are announcing our annual Sun Song gathering for2009:
This July, on our regular Second Saturday weekend, we will also incorporate a full weekend, Friday to Sunday of fun and midsummer rituals. If you havemissed our Sun Song gatherings before they are laid back affairs, with a BIG Community Pot luck dinner on Saturday, several intimate rituals to honor various Deities and the season of the year and usually one larger community ritual or playbefore we set about a night of revelry.
Drop all your cares for a few days in the country feasting, reveling in Pagan companionship and enjoying the delicious flavor of nature in her glory. Yes it is summer but there will be friends and nightly fun around the campfire. Maybe we will work on some summer Magick and make the campfires air conditioned !There will be a contest to crown a Champion and Maiden of the Sun Deity and you can guarantee it will be fun. We will announce the details in the next week or so.
Remember, you do not have to be a member of ESA to attend! There are no tickets for this event, however, a donation of 10-15 per person will be appreciated!
This is one Second Saturday you wont want to miss!LugalExecutive DirectorESA/ESP
The Director's Cut-Miles of Smiles
The 2009 version of Earth Spirit Alliances "Maiden Awakens" Beltane Gathering was a great success. "Miles of Smiles" I think can best describe what we saw!
Our wonderful ESA Festival Director Acacia and our Assistant Festival Director Wraith (aka Sharon) deserve a huge round of thanks from all Earth Spirit People who enjoyed the gathering. They both always go beyond the call of duty in making things happen for our members. These ladies contribution to our community is huge and brings "Miles of Smiles" to so many people. You are the best ladies, my hat is off to you.
Many thanks to our wonderful performers, Dana Davis, Linda Millard, Ginger Doss,and Nighthawk along with Gretchen McMahon, Chrystal and our beloved friend Steve Brooks. We heard people singing along with Steve till the wee hours of the morning Sunday.
That couple of flashbacks to Velvet hammer Friday Night at the Faerie Lounge was a special treat for those of us lucky enough to catch their coming back together for a bit. Thank you guys, you bring smiles to faces. I looked around the Faerie Lounge in the dim light and saw nothing but happiness. Thank you.ESA
A little post script about our Brother Nighthawk:
Folks there is a reason the man is called one of the greatest,it is because of the the great licks the guy puts down. An excellent workshop presenter and an exciting performer. A repeat draw at ESA, Nighthawks many friends sought his workshops out, and this Beltane he had many students at 'Thor's Hammer Haus'. Many good words were heard about those two workshops. He was part of much fun at the Fires Friday and Saturday too!
Dragons Wylde Ranch is also proud to announce that in 2010 spring we will host Nighthawk and his Texas edition of "Hawkfest" a 4-5 day Drumming and Dance gathering. Look out for further details in the future. Check out his website, nighthawkdrumanddancegathering. com for more details direct from the Man!

Can't Wait to get back out to Dragonz Wylde Ranch?
ESA 2nd Saturdays may be the answer!
It's really tough to leave after festival, our members tell us this all the time. Everyone seems to feel that little wrench in their heart when they have to leave the magic of Dragonz Wylde and linger as long as they can. They just don't want to leave the close-knit magickal community in which they all feel they truly belong.
Well the Staff of ESA knows how you feel, so to allieviate the yearning for the magic between festivals ESA has 2nd Saturdays! 2nd Saturday is a weekend long informal mini-event where members and friends (this is open to non-members), can go camp together, play together and generally enjoy the gentle loving spirits in the land of Dragonz Wylde. Whether your pleasure is drumming, feasting at the potluck, firespinning or simply communing with the land 2nd Saturday can provide that escape from the drear land of mundania. You are invited to enter our magickal realm to relax, recharge, and renew.
The next 2nd Saturday is May 9, 2009. Come join us, we're waiting for ya!
