Dear Pagan Sisters and Brothers,
I circled in the forest and the Goddess spoke to me. I sang under the full moon
and the fairies called to me. I longed for love and it was given to me. All of
this occurred for me in the sacred pagan land of Annwfn. Now, this holy ground
needs our help.
For over 30 years the Annwfn grounds have served the Pagan Community as a
retreat center, festival site and wilderness sanctuary. Annwfn, meaning
"otherworld" in Welsh mythology, is one of the United States oldest pagan land
available for public use.
This sacred land needs to raise $2,300 to cover assessments & taxes by June 1st.
Any contribution at all would be deeply appreciated and of course it is
tax-deductible.(No donation is too small). Make checks payable to: CAW- Annwfn:
PO Box 758, Cotati, CA 94931
55 acres of wild mountain land in Mendonesia, Northern California, is the heart
and Sanctuary of the Church of All Worlds.
Forests of Madrone, Oak and Fir, with a small pond, seasonal streams, meadows,
and inspiring views, provide the setting for four ritual circles, ritual paths,
a Goddess-dedicated organic garden, and the famous Mushroom Temple personally
handcrafted by the late Mage and Bard, Gwydion Penderwyn, and his friends.
Annwfn is designed for and is intended to be utilized as Sacred Space. To this
end the sanctuary is available for functions that correspond with the Wheel of
the Year, and with love and respect for our Mother Earth.
All are welcome to utilize the sanctuary for personal retreats and camping. If
you wish to reserve the sanctuary exclusively, prior notice (subject to
availability) and a commitment will be required. Please contact the Caretakers
to request and schedule exclusive use of the Sanctuary.
We encourage meditation and interweaving of spirit through wild-magic communion
with the sacred trees and beasts. The Trees of Annwfn are accustomed to being
talked with, and enjoy meeting new people. Pay attention to the spirits and
guardians around you: but rather than binding them with your expectations, honor
the Unexpected.
Our magickal work recreates the connections between this world and the realms of
Faerie. When the doors between the worlds open in this sanctuary, the magic
spirals forth to heal the Earth and empowers us all.
All Solar, Lunar and Cross-quarter observances are celebrated at Annwfn. With
over 55 acres of wild mountain land in Mendocino, Northern California. It is the
heart and Sanctuary of the Church of All Worlds and is welcoming of all pagan
sects, circles and faiths.

consider coming up to Annwfn for one of its Sabbat Festivals or bring your

go but the Land remains. If we support its needs; it will support ours.
May we give the blessings of prosperity we wish to receive,
