Summary

A collection of six mini-docs and music videos covering Contemporary Pagan activities in Northern California. The set begins with a handfasting ceremony of Rowan and Bran performed by Priestess Prudence Priest of Northern Lights. Hoof & Horn take the stage for musical entertainment with a tune of the same name. The next mini-doc is narrated by Gwydion Pendderwen for his passion, Forever Forest. A montage of guests on Z. Budapest's television talk show 13th Heaven gives a sampling of the content and personalities on the show with longer coverage of Gwen playing a didgeridoo and guest Starhawk discussing the Goddess Movement and the 10th anniversary edition of Spiral Dance. Whitman McGown performs his infamous White Folks Was Wild Once, Too. The collection ends with an excerpt of a live performance of the Charlie Murphy Band and their popular tune The Burning Times.
