We invite you to celebrate All Hallows with the traditional custom of Souling at Wild Heart Hill
An unforgettable evening of All Hallows merriment and mayhem await those brave enough to help bring an ancient tradition back to spectacular life and honour the ancient spirits that haunt our land.
White Raven Ceremonies, Mythago Morris and Wild Heart Hill will be joining forces this October to revive the time-honoured practice of Souling in Sussex.
Through folk custom, fire, dance, and song we will remember those loved ones who have passed on, before gathering together for a torch-lit procession to light a beacon atop the hill at a site steeped in Neolithic history and awaken the ancestors to join our celebration.
For the procession please bring a lantern/torch to light your way, and maybe a staff/stick to steady your feet. If you are unable to make the hillside procession you can watch from the comfort of the main fire in the field below. The evening's events will be ceremonially closed with song and dance once all are back at the main fire in the field.
There will also be a delicious fire roasted pumpkin dhal available (pre-order at ticket order/payment).
Please car share where possible as parking is limited.
Mythago are masked dancers and musicians in the Border/Bedlam Morris style. They bring to life the stories of old handed down through the ages, tales from the begining of time, from the dark ages of Britain.
White Raven Ceremonies uses the ways of the past to inspire the ceremonies and celebrations of today, connecting communities to nature and each other.
Wild Heart Hill is an ancient hillside in the South Downs Nature Reserve. It was recorded in the Neolithic period as one of the first flint mines in the country. The mines were later used as ancient burial places (barrows).
