Ar Teine - Our Fire

If you want Scotland to be independent again, to decide it’s own fate and form of government, to return our ancient rights of being a Sovereign people not slaves to a foreign king and customs that are not oor ain, then take a minute and read this.

Salvo/Liberation have a way for us to become free again but we need you, the people of Scotland to get behind it and end the apathy that keeps us down.

Truth is the hardest pill to swallow for so many…..why… because it generally requires action and very often proves them to have been wrong! We have options when we are presented with the truth, we …

We’re still here! As you can imagine COVID-19 put all plans back with regards the festival and trying to get things started up. Hopefully now we are on a route out of the pandemic and life can start returning to normal.

It hasn’t all been bad though, the time off has given a much needed break from the intensity of trying to organise something so grandiose and allowed for some learning and reflection as to where things were going wrong.

I’m hoping to start work back on this project following the Scottish elections, likely the most important ballot since 2014 and one which will have huge implications for Scotland’s future.

I myself am currently engaged trying to promote the opportunity of working towards Independence urgently using the Supermajority parliament strategy to show London and the rest of the World that independence is the will of the Scottish people.

Sorry things have been quiet lately; I haven’t been in the greatest health and the weight of the world has been bearing down a bit but things are still progressing.

At the moment we are unsure if the festival will go ahead as planned for next year, it may need to be scaled back or postponed and the situation is pretty fluid owing to the pandemic so we are not making any decisions quite yet. Hopefully the latest restrictions will put things back in the right path for live events to return soon. We are monitoring the situation and will keep you guys updated to any decisions as they are made!

But this isn’t just a festival; we are creating a Crafts, Skills and Performers Cooperative. The aim is to bring together those involved Witchy, Pagan and Living History arts and crafts including re-enactment; tribal, circus and flow arts and performance art, theatre and dance to form a community, share knowledge, pool resources, showcase and market our work and promote alternative nature based lifestyles. The festival will be a reflection of the community, something for us by us but open to the public to see how we roll!

The Ar Teine Community Tree will include:

• An online marketplace similar to Etsy but much simpler lower fees and discounts for members buying from other members
• Showcasing members arts and crafts on our website and social media channels
• A wiki knowledgebase curated by members giving information, ideas and tutorials on various handcrafts, traditional skills, the natural world and Pagan/Heathen god forms, beliefs and practices.
• A forum and Facebook group for members to communicate and discuss different things, swap or barter goods and arrange local meet-ups or groups
• Pooled bulk buying of supplies/materials on behalf of members and redistribution their share to them
• Collaboration with other members on crafts or performances including acting as booking agent
• Equal voting rights for every member on all major business decisions and a members charter made by members setting out rights, expected conduct and responsibilities
• Any other suggestions and ideas from members that we can feasibly do to help within the scope of the organisation, we are here for you because we are you

Let us know what you think in the comments and join the community and get involved, big things are on the way!

Ar Teine - Our Fire is building a new kind of community; bringing early history, nature and spirituality into the modern age by connecting people together locally and through the internet to tell their stories, share their skills, make friends and trade their crafts or services in a cooperative marketplace and community knowledge base. Sometimes to go forward, you have to take a couple steps back to follow the right path and Ar Teine is here to help reconnect people with their heritage and the natural world around them by sharing resources, dividends and discounts, organising events and promoting folk culture, arts and crafts.

We need your input to help us achieve our mission and are asking you to complete this short survey, like the post, share if you’re able and comment after completing to be entered in a draw for a free T-shirt when we get them printed. If we get over 100 responses by Wednesday 16th September we’ll draw for 3 Winners, if we get 1000 we’ll draw 10!!
