Wicker ritual @ Castlefest 2024

The Wicker Ritual of Castlefest 2024: We danced on the current of the wind❤️

This year we met the Wicker as Corvus, the messenger of our ancestors. Dancing on the currents of air, the bird of the gods brings messages from the Other World and of your subconscious.

The Wicker Ritual is an important part of Castlefest.
The large figure, built with woven willow branches, can be found on the Castle Grounds near Forest Stage. On Friday and Saturday during the day, you can place an offering in the Wicker. On Saturday evening, the Wicker is set aflame during the Wicker Ritual.

The ritual of the Wickerman is a pagan custom to celebrate the first harvest and honour the Celtic god Lugh. This day is also known as pagan festival Lughnasadh.
