Beneath the November Sky – Handfasting and Feast at Turkey Foot Campground – McKee, KY

Come one, come all! Clan, kin, friends and wanderers, join us in an open ceremony and celebration of love and ancient viking rites. Escape the mundane and have an experience at this mini-viking festival. Witness a traditional Heathen handfasting and hearthfire lighting. Then take part in the feast and celebration that follows. Let your viking heritage come out to play and make some lasting memories and new friends in the traditional viking ways of old.

Hear this call clan, kin and kindred - carried on the autumn breeze through whispering trees --

You are hereby summoned to bear witness as two souls are bound in oath and honor in the old ways, beneath the open skies. Before Freya, keeper of love and fate And Odin, watcher of oaths and souls. Where gold and crimson leaves crown the earth, and the scent of woodsmoke and wild air lingers. There, before flame and ancient spirits, we shall join hands and fates alike—

A union forged as strong as iron, as enduring as the roots beneath our feet. Come cloaked in warmth and wonder, ready to feast, to laugh, to raise horn and voice. For there will be music to celebrate. Fire to warm our bones, and merriment a plenty, echoing through the trees long into the night. We call you to witness our handfasting. Beneath the trees, both watchful and wise, as the sun sinks low and the torches are lit. Follow the firelit pathway into the woodlands of Appalachia that encircle Turkey Foot Campground.

Upon arrival there will be signs to assist with parking as well as location. The entrance to the event can be found by Tent site A2. From there follow your brethren along the beaten path through the wise old trees where ancient drums echo.

May your path be guided true -- We await you by the flame.
