MythiCalia 5
near La Honda, California
September 28th-30th, 2012
MythiCalia is a gathering for otherkin and similar mythical, majikal folk. We hope to create an enchanted environment where those of this spirit can abide a little while, and hopefully make both magic and friends.
Otherkin of all types (elven, faery, dragon, celestial, sidhe, unicorn, etc.) are welcome, as well as the fey-touched or half-elven, and human "Elf-friends" who are familiar with and friendly to otherkin. We also welcome therians (or other animal-kin) who share the mythic feel and spirit. Come and be "Other" together!
What do we do? We usually have a variety of workshops and discussions on topics of interest to otherkin, do energy work, and join in magical rites and spirit journeys. We also do the things you might expect on any camping trip, like sit around the campfire, walk in the woods, play games, look at the night sky, sing songs, and just plain hang out.
Facilities: MythiCalia is a tent-camping only event this year. We are at a "developed" site - piped water, flush toilets, and coin-operated showers - but there are no indoor accomodations (e.g. cabins) or kitchen facilities. If you do not own camping equipment, you may be able to borrow from someone else or share with them; join the email list to ask about this.
Food: There is no meal plan. Bring your own food for the weekend and something to share for the Saturday feast. If you are travelling from further away, you may be able to arrange to share with someone else who is coming. Information about nearby grocery stores will also be available.
Registration in advance is required. Pre-registration is open from May 2nd to September 23rd. The fee is $45 per person until August 15th and will go up to $55 after that date. Because of the nature of the site arrangements, there is a cap on attendance and particularly on number of cars this year, so please carpool if you can!
Vendors from within the community with wares related to otherkin or myth-magic are permitted. This can include jewelry, artwork, handmade clothing, zines/chapbooks, homemade oils and incense, musical recordings... There is no extra fee, but please contact Arethinn first if you want to sell something at MythiCalia.
