March, 2009

Happy March, everyone.

The latest chapter in the Witchery saga ended February 28, as their new location had to close its doors because of increased rents. Bright blessings to Mimi, Steve and staff on their new endeavours; you know we haven’t heard the last of them.

A pagan-friendly friend of mine is looking for homes for two seven-month old kittens as they’re moving early next week to a no-pets building. Let me know a.s.a.p. if you’re interested in adopting.

Evergreen will be offering a Ritual Leadership Workshop the weekend of April 3 to 5. This is an intense weekend of lecture, discussion, and hands'-on ritual creation, suitable for anyone considering designing ritual on a scale from small groups to large public events. This workshop is required for Evergreen's First Degree students; a second go-round for Second Degree students is also highly recommended, and participants from other teaching circles/Traditions are welcome (with consent of HPS/HP as applicable.) Hours are 7:30 p.m. - 10:00 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m.- 6 p.m. on Sunday. Cost is $12.00 and includes extensive reference materials. Let me know if you're interested, and/or contact me for further information.

March’s Birthdays: Karen H., Jan R., Brenda G., Luiz M., Tracy P., and probably a few others.
