Ricky and Issac pair up for Gender Bender Beltane
Boy Ricky and Perseid De Belle Rue will use the land for a Gender Inclusive event. Though not an Amber Fox Faerie gathering, all Fae ones are encouraged to join us for Beltane. It will be vegetarian delights in the tradition of our fabulous culinary tradition.
Beltane Celebrations fall on April 30th and May 1st, soon indeed! We all hope that you can join our circle at Amberfox and share in this historic gathering on the Land. Let's be honest- couldn't we all use a little more faerie magic in our lives? Winter is OVER, the land is waking up and it's time to shake some queer spirit (and booty).
Beltane is as old as the fracking hills and a radical faerie stand-by. Traditionally it's a celebration of Spring, fertility, good fortune and good harvests to come, though for those of us this far North it's also something of a victory party for Spring and life over our longest season by far, Winter. (Not that we're the only faeries partying- trust me.)
This will be the first time we celebrate Beltane at Amberfox and this weekend will be gender-inclusive. Those of gender queer bent are welcome. We are hoping for many visitors from near and far. Suggested donation is 25$ per day. That includes meals- delicious ones hand prepared and keeping up the land and its many facilities. It may be a bit chilly, but don't worry, the Land has enough infrastructure to keep everyone warm, and the bonfires will keep everyone toasty.
Beltane is known for it's great bonfires and fire-play, especially on the eve beforehand, and has countless manifestations and names, though most include fire in their festivities. April 30th there will be a bonfire party and purification of the cavity where the may pole will stand. Last there will be a Know Talent Show. The next day at noon, May 1st, we will have our Beltane ceremony and raise the maypole (oh yes, you know we weren't going to leave the cavity unfilled darlins').
If you wish to camp you are more than welcome to and there is plenty of space. The Land is beautiful and spacious and we hope to share it with you. : )
This is Ontario so you need to be ready for any kind of weather. Bring warm clothes, a good sleeping bag, or a big quilt or blankets, a flash light, a change of clothes if its rainy and of course bring your happy clothing too. You are welcome to wear any or no clothing, its Beltane after all. The mosquito's might be interested in Beltane too but they are not always around. We have many outfits for you in the Foxy Boutique if you can't bring your own.
For more information on Beltane, you can visit the Radical Faerie website here
or the Wikipedia page here.

About Us - "The Land" at AmberFox
Come Join Us For Our Annual Summer Gatherings on "The Land" at AmberFox
AmberFox is a beautiful farm nestled among the rolling valleys of the Lanark Highlands, west of the Ottawa Valley. For 35 years, gay and queer men have come together here to share in a journey of spirit, growth, and renewal.
AmberFox is situated on "The Land" and is much more than just gay camping; it's a collective of diverse individuals who come together for what we call a gathering. Men of all ages, younger and older, gather on the land to share life experiences, sexualities, community, to party and to share the diversity of different peoples' lives.
For our short time together we live in a tent community with a central common structure that we use for dining and our "know talent" shows. As a collective community we share in the upkeep of the land. We are liberal and accepting of many diverse and unique lifestyles. We've seen it all and we offer one of only a few such gathering spaces in Canada. With our limited capacity we keep gatherings small so that activities remain fun and sustainable. The Land at AmberFox is a safe and accepting place to come out and be yourself.
