Join us to celebrate the bounty of the Earth Mother, as we gather for Harvest Home at the Autumnal Equinox! We will be honouring the gods that feed the gods at the Feast of Age: An Dagda, whose cauldron brings forth the favourite foods of the honourable; Goibniu, brewer of the ale of immortality; and Manannan mac Lir, keeper of the ever-bearing apple trees.
At this ritual, we place great value on our Feast and local food. If possible, please bring something homemade, locally sourced, or both!
This is also our Dagda’s Cauldron Food Drive, our main fundraiser for Simcoe Hall Settlement House. Please contribute to our food drive by bringing non-perishable items or household items (toilet paper, etc). In previous years we’ve raised over 60 lbs!
