Hern' Tribe 2013 - outdoor ritual group in London
Hern’s Tribe meets regularly for  seasonal festivals, in an outdoor woodland setting, for rituals and socials. These are generally closed events. This is ideal for interested people who would like to explore our shamanic ways with a view to joining Hern’s Tribe.

Inspired by the TV series `Robin of Sherwood’ and stories of the Windsor-Hern myths, we began to build Hern’s Tribe in 2004. Now in our 9th Year, we have undergone many changes.. (read more of the history)..

Our Open Ritual Styles:

We are are known for reworking fairy tales and stories into modern day tribal ritual dramas!  (remember the PFL Yule 2009, with Ghosts of Yule past, present  future?  And what about the Dragons, Eagle  & Wren competing at PFL Autumn Ritual in 2010? The fabulous opening ceremony at Beltane Bash 5 yrs ago, retelling what really happened at Garden of Eden?!! Going back even further, we also the Medieval Witches Ball (CoA) Imbolc Closing ritual back in 2004, and the `2011 SpaceOddessy’ themed Pagan Federation Conference Ritual in 2004 ). Ht also re-surrected an old english tradition of `Swearing on the Horns’ at High Gate park, some 3-4 yrs ago. We’ll be doing that again in Autumn 2011.

HT inspires to develop practical Craft skills such as Arrow /flint knapping, preparing skulls/skin from dead animals, shamanic dream-quests, native animal totemic work, fire-making, tribal cooking & camping and much more.

Practical considerations

venue Meet at Coombe Lane Tram stop. Get to East Croydon Railway station, come out and take the `New Addington’ tram line. Our stop is only 5 minutes from there). 

PLEASE  wrap up warm. No matter what, it gets cold later. And it’s difficult to doa ritual or enjoy a social (even with a camp fire) when you feel cold!  We will be setting up a small camp fire, and also rain sheet cover (also protects us from winds).

Please bring Food & drinks to put on altar and share in feats afterwards. Bottle of wine is ideal.

Bring masks, drums or other musical instruments. be open to singing & chanting.  It makes a happy tribal environment :-)

Please phone Mani via 077689-41373 to confirm attendance if possible. We highly encourage you to make any calls before the actual day itself, as we get very busy on the day. 

Our Rituals go ahead  whatever the weather. So have faith, and just turn up. It usually ends up being a good happy magical event :-)

Ritual involves walking through woods with uneven ground.  May not be suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
