Raleigh Fruitcakes The Raleigh Fruitcakes are a bunch of Queer Pagans and
allies committed to the spirit of joy. We use co-creative magic to tend
the landscape of change. This year at Pagan Pride Raleigh, the Fruitcakes will be creating two 'magic carpets', one to be decorated Saturday and the other on Sunday, and donated to the raffle!
The rugs are each approximately 6' x 6' and are being repurposed as collaborative
artwork. The original color of the rug fabric is blue, but they will hopefully be covered with with the amazing art
of our Central NC Pagan community by the end of each day. The Fruitcakes
would liek to encourage people to come by their booth and contribute to the art! They
can see the pieces up close and make it that much more personal. The rugs will likely change frequently throughout the day, capturing the
eclectic essence of our festival and functioning as a kind of energetic reservoir
for the community.  Truely Unique is a patron of many local artists, offering a home for fine handcrafted goods you won't find anywhere else!

and sugared citrus. Each
