blend of Pagan, Renaissance, and Celtic stylings. Lucidian features the talents of Lady Ishara on
vocals and percussion, and SkyDragon who also lends his talents to vocals; and plays mandolin,
guitar, violin, and drums. Ishara and SkyDragon are both long time Pagans who enjoy performing
at Pagan festivals and conferences, Pagan Pride events, ren faires, and other events. They hope to
preserve the legacy of old Pagan music for future generations, and to continue to offer their
music to the larger Pagan community as part of their service to the Goddess and God. As
independent recording artists, they have produced two CDs "For the Lady and Lord," and
"Soluna." Both of these CDs feature original and traditional Pagan songs as well as songs for
ritual. The duo is currently recording a third Pagan CD and their first Rennaissance music CD.

Live Music, Featuring Robin Southfellow
Bitten while very young by a radioactive 45 rpm turntable, Robin Southfellow is well
known for a) being older than dirt, and b) collecting, writing, and singing strange songs about the
important things in life: sex, death, religion, ghosts, golden retrievers, beer, and cats. His songs
are folk and filk ballads, with a little bit of rock 'n roll and blues. He has even , on occasion, been
known to be serious. Remember, it isn't *really* a folk song unless everybody dies.

GIVE AWAY
The Give Away will act as our closing ceremony. Please bring something that is special
to you, or has brought something good to you, that you are now ready to pass on to someone else.
This gift doesn't have to be something physical; it can be an offer of help or service. Once
something is given away, all strings to that gift are broken; the gift is given with no expectations.
Each person will take a turn to talk about their item and its meaning, then place it on the blanket.
Once all items are laid down, if you see something that speaks to you, and no one else wants it,
you may take it. 30 minutes, in the Lodge.
(Sun, 3:00 pm) Site closes, all participants and camps must be off-site
