Goddess Caffeina's Coffee Bar

The Beltane volunteer crew will be serving a variety of teas, coffee, and basic breakfast baked goods for sale in the clubhouse on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until 11AM.  Those who purchased our coffee mugs from a previous Beltane can bring their mug for FREE COFFEE! Cash and card accepted. We're slinging this hot liquid gold in honor of the Goddess Caffeina, whose mythos might go something like this:

"Once, when goddess worshippers were being persecuted, a man named Julianus secretly prayed to the Goddess Caffeina during the night. Unfortunately, tired from his hard day of work, he would often fall asleep before finishing his worship. The man prayed for the Goddess to show him a way to stay awake. 

One day, while walking, he observed goats dancing and frolicking in an unusual manner. Asking the herder about their behavior, he was directed toward some shrubs laden with red berries. Deciding to try a few for himself, he felt a rush of energy and began dancing along with the goats. He took the berries home, boiled them, and made the drink we know as coffee. Drinking it every evening allowed him to stay alert during his prayers. Julianus later was crowned king as Julianus II but after his death, the worship of Goddesses and Caffeina was lost in history."

Nerthus Meads

Nerthus Mead is becoming a Northshore favorite, and Mike Lyons is proud to introduce this mead line to our retreat! Fermented from local honey and produce, every bottle of Nerthus Mead is bottled using recycled glass. Nerthus, a Germanic goddess of fertility who was written of by Tacitus in the 1st C. as "terra mater," or Mother Earth, is the inspiration for this delicious libation harvested from bees!
