Shrines will run somewhere between 11 until about 4pm most will be located in the private grounds area some
may be placed in the market. There may be a period of time that God/dess will attend the shrine space. Our expectation
is that groups will host a location in the theme of the Celtic representative and have someone in attendance of the space
at the appropriate hours keep it safe from prying eyes. Shrines typically have an outer waiting area where the caretakers
and dedicates tend with some subtle sign whose shrine they tend to and often brief write up or presentation of those that
may be inside. We will have some activities which may encourage shrine visitors. The inside which is usually hidden
from view should be decorated in manner that is suggest and enhances the persona of the space. Often alter or other
ritual items can have themes from the many reincarnations of the God/dess over the cross section of mythology. A simple
9x9 pavilion canopy will work with trap and side wall some form of inside drapery simple stand or table other suggestive
prop. Patrons may enter to make offerings and prepare themselves in rare instance of personal Attendance caretakers
will help facilitate visitation of patrons with their deities keep prying ears away as individuals or small groups consult.
Other Shrines may be more fitting of an open space we will give awards to the best shrines and presentations. Please
keep in mind that simple and suggest theme is easier both on set up take down several sites would be ideal to have up for
the evening will contact you as we get closer in the planning stages. Please keep in mind that we are not responsible for
theft and damage use common sense in shrine planning. We will also consider application for other community tables
such as games or crafts or relate activities which would be set in the market. Will do our best to help you in your
planning!
