Option 1 · Foxglove Glade
Light-forward, a little wild, warmly queer: dew on fern, foxglove in the hedge, gathering laughter after rain. One visual family for the public hearth, event minisites, and the private Circles space - not another black sidebar dashboard.
Name: Foxglove Glade. Mood: fabulous without costume-shop kitsch; pagan without gothic gloom; British countryside without cream-and-terracotta cafe branding. The brand name is the hero. Imagery of real places and faces does the rest.
Same fonts, mist, fern, and foxglove everywhere. What changes is enclosure and density - not a second brand for "the app".
Open glade
Full-bleed atmosphere, short invites, newsletter. Anyone can arrive.
Gathering call
Same language, event-named hero. Practicals and helpers for one gathering.
Inner glade
Signed-in work space: notes, actions, templates. Quieter wash, copper accent, still Albion.
Cool mist grounds keep us away from warm-cream cliches. Fern carries stewardship. Foxglove is the queer pulse. Pollen is rare - for highlights, not fills.
Fraunces for brand and headlines - soft optical serif with a wink. Figtree for body and UI - friendly, readable, not Inter/Roboto.
Albion Faeries
come as you are, leave a little more yourself
The Albion Faeries are part of the global Radical Faerie web - awakening, nature-loving, compassionate queers finding each other in old Albion and beyond. Come to a full-moon circle, a gathering, or start with the newsletter.
Next gathering · Lughnasadh
Warm, clear, a little camp. Never corporate. Never gatekeepy. Invite first; explain second.
An online space of fabulousness for the Radical Faeries of old Albion.
Keep the inherited line - it already sounds like us.
Few pieces, used with intention. Cards are for things people act on (an event, a form, an action row) - not for wrapping every paragraph.
Corners soft but not pill-full. Foxglove for public primary actions; copper ghost for the Circle door.

Brand mark left or centre-large on home; compact elsewhere. Circle sign-in lives in the footer or a quiet corner - never competing with the hero.

Draft hosting recommendation for Finance Owner: Blair · Due: before next Comms
Actions are first-class objects - owner, due, status - matching the Moot's digital-notes mandate.
The Circles space is still Foxglove Glade: Fraunces + Figtree, mist and fern. It is denser and more useful, never colder. Think record-keeper's table, not SaaS admin.
Presence, not noise. Ship a few intentional moves on the public hearth; Circles stay calmer and more utilitarian.
Hero text and first section enter softly on load.
Focus / hover on key links - foxglove underline expands.
Optional ambient shape in the hero - very slow, reduced-motion aware.
Full-bleed heroes from Albion life: Featherstone halls, Glastonbury land, circle tables, muddy boots, glitter if it actually happened. Prefer one dominant photograph over collages. No floating sticker labels on the hero.
Aligned with Digital Homecoming: accessible, kind, simple before clever.
