Closing the Magic Circle for MBS and Temple (updated 6/7/25)
Update - June 7, 2025: Thank you for joining us for the modified burn of the Temple of Renewal. We apologize for the technical difficulties which cut the live stream prematurely, we had hoped to continue the steam until the fire died down.
At this point, all portions of the Temple which were written on, and all offerings, have been burned. We will be keeping the fire low and small to stay in compliance with our agreements with the local fire jurisdiction, and will continue to add structural components slowly until the entire Temple has been burned. We expect this to take the entire evening.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding, none of us wanted a no-burn year, we wish you could have been here with us.
Original Post - June 2, 2025: An incredible group of humans spent this past weekend moving the MBS and Temple. We wanted to provide a brief update. Thank you for understanding that this is a continuously evolving process.
The Baba Yaga has transitioned to a magical farm in Scappoose where it will live safe and sound for now. It will be rebuilt after the team gets much needed rest.
The Temple of Renewal and all offerings left within have been carefully transported to the hills of Gaston. Plans are developing for a smaller scale burn this coming weekend on Saturday the 7th at sunset (~9pm). This page will be updated with the link to the livestream as soon as it is made available.

We want to give a special and sincere thank you to the volunteers who have worked tirelessly to create and care for these pieces. So much love and care was put in this year, and while they were not the typical Burn nights during the event, the magic created by these efforts will not be soon forgotten.
