Vetrnaetr marks the beginning of winter. This Viking/Norse cultural celebration honors women and the spirits of those gone but among us. It was one of three celebrations held.

The third and final runestone will be dedicated as part of the festivities. It contains the last eight letters of the viking alphabet (Elder Futhark). The Oracles Enclave will also be new and open this year.

Joining us this year is welcomed guest Kellianna, CD vendor and performer of songs of myth and magic. Rejoining us for the fourth time is Norsewind from PA.
