Celebrating life anew - The Spring Festival

 

The Springmother’s Greeting.

Spring time is one of great hope for all - as our Springmother breathes warmed breath into our mornings, we are all made anew. And as the Vibrant Hummingbird graces these lands once more, the world is set abloom. 

Despite any and all of the world's trials, tribulations, or the hatred sown between - all mali’ame, kin and comrades, are invited to set aside their grudges and celebrate the rebirth of our world together. 

Spring has come. And she will be met with our cheers of joy and the merriment that will follow. 

 

Kholibrii’s Arrival

Prayer to Kholibrii, the Vibrant - Join the mali’ame people in a prayer to the Mani Princess of Hummingbirds, Kholibrii. Her return brings hope to the mali’ame people, and we honor her by offering colorful offerings and reciting of the prayer.

Common, acceptable offerings; painted eggs, feathers, sugar, honey, art, gerbera, hibiscus, bird of paradise, and sunflower.

Tiva Weaving - Join the mali’ame people in one of our ancient practices - the weaving of floral wreaths. Learn what each bloom means to us, and how to create meaningful gifts or accessories to represent yourself with using our flower language!

Hedge Maze Challenge - As spring arrives, many animals return to our woodlands with renewed energy. Blindfolded, you are led to the heart of the maze. Don one of our many hibernator’s masks and find your way out of your winter slumber to join the chorus of nature once more. Be the first to greet spring!

Pollinator Race - Spring would not be possible without our pollinators - those who spread seeds and oversee the blooming of new life. Don a pollinator mask and collect all five floral tokens hidden in the forest!

The Rite of New Beginning - To conclude the occasion, join our Green High Priestess in the rite of new beginning, involving the sacrifice of a braid of one’s hair, ushering in a new era of their life. 

 

Wood, tools, paints and dyes will all be available throughout the day for all of your crafting endeavors! All are encouraged to dress in the bright colors of spring - the best dressed may even win themself a prize!

 

Abundant cactus green, drinks, food, and music are provided - and are welcome to be brought, too by guests! Contact Arle Sirame-Vulnrith (mc ign: craneia) for inquiries or offerings for sustenance/entertainment.
