Greetings! This is the official site for information regarding the grand and glorious Taos Aelthing. This is the best, and probably only place to find the details you will need to know when preparing for this year's event. If, however the information you need is not yet listed here please contact the Ruling Council here and we will provide you with whatever you need. We all had an amazing time time at the Taos Aelthing 2008. The information for next year's event will be available soon, and there may be some changes this year.  Check out the events section to see some of the  events we will try to get through this year, review some of the pictures from last year, or get the commemorative shirt for 2008 before it's too late. There are still resources for clothing tips on wriing winning poetry, and, of course,  a link to our merchandise site, so check the schwag area.
