The Sacred Feminine Rising
Festival Packing List
For 2025: Our new camp is perfect for stargazing! Thus, there is little ambient light for nighttime travel. You MUST bring a good personal flashlight.
Cell phone flashlights won't cut it!
If you're in a Turtle, the "sides" roll up for ventilation.
However, bring a battery operated fan!
Note: The items in the following list are just suggestions. Please make sure you bring
everything you need to be healthy and comfortable.

Consider bringing tapestries to make your cabin space/bunk cozy. All have top bunks to store your items and attach fabric or decorations.
Ritual Outfit/Ritual Wear can include capes, dresses, fairy wings, horns, special makeup, accessories, etc. You can wear your regular clothing or get your full witch on, or something in between. Wear what feels comfortable to you.
Comfortable shoes: The camp is spread out and although we will have golf carts to assist in getting from one area to another, plan to do a lot of walking. Consider bringing an extra pair in case one pair gets wet.
Flashlights: The main areas of the camp are lit, but a good flashlight is a must for getting around at night.
Snacks & Beverages: We will have coffee and tea available at all times in Hestia’s Cauldron as well as fruit, nut butters, and rice cakes for snacks, but feel free to bring your own. There will be space to store them in or near your sleeping area. Please label your items. Two things to remember: if you have a serious food allergy or celiac disease, we will try our best to keep things separate, but there are no guarantees. Second, if you are tenting, it is NOT a good idea to have food in your tent. We are in the woods and hungry critters are always present. There are kitchenettes and stoves along with refrigerators in each group cabin. You must bring your own pots, pans, dishes etc. Please leave the area as clean as you found it!
Main Altar & Ancestor Altar: We will have a main altar and an ancestor altar set up in Hestia’s Cauldron. Feel free to bring personal items to place on either. Please try to keep them small and label them and don’t forget to bring them home with you.
Food Sale: We will have a food sale at the end of festival (for donations) so that no food goes to waste. Bring a few to-go containers if you’d like to take advantage of it. You might get to bring something delicious home!
Spiritual Recycling Center: Feel free to bring any small potted plants, sacred objects, books, gently used witchy clothing, etc. you’d like to share with your sisters.
