Abstract
A collection of ten mini-docs and music videos covering Contemporary Pagan activities in Northern California. The Berkeley Morris dancers start us off with several numbers at a May Day celebration. This is followed by a Heathen magic circle invocation demonstration by Prudence Priest. The handfasting ceremony of Rowan and Bran is performed by Priestess Prudence Priest of Northern Lights. Hoof & Horn take the stage for musical entertainment with a tune of the same name. This is followed by a ritual drama in the Norse-Teutonic Tradition. A montage of guests on Z. Budapest's television talk show 13th Heaven gives a sampling of the content and personalities on the show with longer coverage of Gwen playing a didgeridoo and guest Starhawk discussing the Goddess Movement and the 10th anniversary edition of Spiral Dance. The next mini-doc is narrated by Gwydion Pendderwen for his passion, Forever Forest. Whitman McGown performs his infamous White Folks Was Wild Once, Too. The collection ends with a live performance of the Charlie Murphy Band and their popular tune The Burning Times.
