The Ceremony of the Deermen is held every year at dawn on the first Monday after Wakes Sunday (which normally falls on or near this date). As part of the ceremony, held at Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, England, the Deermen, wearing antlers and carrying clubs surmounted with deer's heads, escort two young men dressed as Robin Hood and Maid Marian across the village.

In 1972 he was initiated by Lady Sheba into the American Celtic Tradition of Witchcraft, and in 1973 he helped to organize the Council of American Witches.
