Pinefurs' Mascot, Ranger the Fox!
In early May 2023, a group of friends, led by Toofy, planned a hangout at Cape May Lighthouse. The hangout quickly and unexpectedly evolved into a mini furmeet at the beach in West Cape May. It was here that Pinefur Meets was born! Since that day, the Pinefurs have held several meets. Meets include the ever-popular Batsto get-together (a Halloween easter egg hunt, costume contest, and furwalk), Camp Carnival (a several day camping trip with tons of activities and meals cooked over bonfire), and Fur the Howl-idays 21+ party (a Christmas party with craft classes, poker tournament, live music, and alcohol)The Telegram group was formed, in late May 2023 in order to bring the community closer together with a more consistently active chat room. As of that June, a Discord chat was added for voice and video communications.Throughout the year, Pinefurs members regularly attend meetups that are hosted by locals within the state and surrounding areas. You can find the event schedule by clicking here. The community is moderated by a dedicated staff, click here for more information on who they are.Pinefur Meets is a non-discriminatory community and has members from a wide variety of backgrounds.

In the heart of the Pinelands of Southern New Jersey, where the thick, mist-shrouded forest meets the tangled bogs, there exists the legend of Eepy, a figure veiled in mystery and reverence. Eepy is said to have emerged from the very earth itself, born of the ancient, whispered incantations of the land, as if the Pinelands had given birth to him.The tales tell of Eepy’s arrival in a time long forgotten, when the world was young and the natural order was still taking shape. His birth was marked by an unusual convergence of phenomena: the moonlight piercing through the canopy, a sudden, inexplicable stillness in the trees, and a haunting melody that seemed to resonate from the pine needles themselves. This refrain, many believe, was the song of the land welcoming Eepy into existence.Eepy’s nature is said to be deeply intertwined with the essence of the Pinelands. He is a guardian of the balance between the natural and the supernatural, a figure who commands the forces of the wild and holds sway over the spirits that dwell within the shadowy groves. His presence is subtle but undeniable; it is felt in the rustle of the leaves, the shifting patterns of the mist, and the sudden chill that can envelope the forest.Eepy is both a protector and a trickster. He ensures that the Pinelands remain a sanctuary for the myriad of creatures that inhabit it and guards it against those who seek to exploit or harm it. Yet, his actions can be enigmatic and unpredictable. Some tales speak of travelers who have ventured into the Pinelands and encountered Eepy’s whimsical trials—tests of character and resolve that often end in profound self-discovery.Rituals and offerings are made to Eepy by those who revere him, often involving the symbolic use of pinecones, feathers, and stones from the iron-rich streams. These offerings are meant to honor Eepy’s presence and seek his favor, ensuring the continued harmony between humanity and the untamed wilderness of the Pinelands.Despite the reverence, Eepy remains elusive. Some say he appears only to those who are pure of heart or those who have ventured into the deepest parts of the Pinelands with a true purpose. To most, he remains an enigmatic figure—a whisper in the wind, a fleeting shadow in the forest, a powerful symbol of the deep, primal connection between nature and the divine.In the annals of the Pine Barrens, Eepy is both a mystic and a guide, a guardian whose presence is felt rather than seen, and whose influence shapes the very fabric of the Pinelands he calls home.
The Cult of Eepy, a shadowy and ruminative group, venerates the mysterious figure with fervent devotion. Centered in the Pine Barrens of Southern New Jersey, the cult practices a blend ancient rites with a deep reverence for the world around them. Their worship revolves around maintaining the balance between natural and the supernatural, reflecting Eepy’s dual role as both protector and trickster.The cult’s ceremonies are typically held in secluded groves or hidden clearings, places where the veil between the physical and spiritual realms is believed to be thinnest. At these sacred sites, members gather to perform elaborate rituals that invoke Eepy’s presence and seek his favor.Central to their worship are the chants and incantations that echo through the Pinelands. These chants, simple yet powerful, include phrases such as “Praise Eepy”, which are repeated in a cadence to create a sense of unity and connection with the divine. The chants are often accompanied by hands raised in a praising manner.The cult’s rituals are marked by a sense of mysticism. Participants often don garb invoking their spirit animals, symbolizing their deep bond with the wild. These rituals are meant to honor Eepy and ensure the continued harmony in the Pinelands.In addition to their ceremonies, the Cult of Eepy engages in practices aimed at aligning themselves with the land’s energy. They perform pilgrimages to sacred sites within the Pinelands, often at dawn or dusk when the light and shadows create an otherworldly atmosphere. These pilgrimages are both a physical journey and a spiritual quest, intended to deepen their connection to Eepy and the natural world he embodies.The cult’s hierarchy is decentralized, with no single leader but rather a council of elders who guide the community through their rituals and practices. These elders are believed to have the deepest connection with Eepy and are responsible for interpreting the signs and omens that are said to come from the Barrens.The Cult of Eepy remains secretive and elusive, its members often shrouded in anonymity. Outsiders rarely see their gatherings, and the cult’s activities are considered a blend of sacred tradition and personal transformation. To its followers, the Cult of Eepy represents a profound journey—a quest to live synchronously with the Pinelands and the strange force that they believe resides within it.
