Book the fire
For fifteen years MythMaker raised a Viking city at Burning Man, a hundred warriors strong, with a flaming dragon-ship stage, a stocked mead hall and a Temple to the Goddess. The Quest was born around those fires. The camp is legend now; the fire it forged travels the world.
Beyond the fire lies a hidden world. A deck of cards you hold in your hands. A scrying scroll that reads marks others cannot see. Seven keys, seven shards, and a white antlered wolf waiting at the edge of the forest.
A real-world quest in the making. The deck is drawn, the scroll is being written.
Will you wake, seeker?Fifteen seasons of fire, feathers, steel and stilts. A glimpse of the archive.
Hjeron O’Sidhe, director, swordmaster and storyteller, has helmed MythMaker for over two decades: thirty-three original productions written, directed and scored, and over two decades spent touring them across the world. His craft is rooted in thirty years steeped in Celtic and world storytelling, ancestral ritual and the art of the blade.
Around him stands a seasoned collective of professional fire artists, acrobats, stilt-walkers, musicians and makers, with the depth to bring the right artists to your event, from an intimate ceremony to a festival main stage.
Behind the fire shows is thirty years of the real thing: ceremony, community and ancestral craft. Where the Show is spectacle and the Quest is story, this is the practice. The work you do in your own body and life.
Men’s Mysteries, Rites of Passage and Youth Coming-of-Age: ceremonial journeys into healthy masculinity, initiation and belonging.
The Intentional Community Blueprint and hands-on consulting for co-ops and collectives. Thirty years of what makes a community last.
Designing the Immersive World: a masterclass on ritual, immersion and the craft of an event no one forgets.
Sword, fire, mask, story and Nordic/Celtic rite, taught hand to hand.
“The old ways were never lost. They were waiting for you to ask.”
Retreats run on their own calendar. Dates and places by enquiry.
