Covenant of the River

So the event was title Tin Yard Art, tin being a traditional material for work this time of year in several traditions. We under estimated the expense of tin and the difficulty of working with it though. So we used aluminum instead.

We had a lot of fun working some aluminum foil into various crafty shapes and making votive holders out of it and some mason jars and re-purposed glasses. Fun times were had standing around being crafty and now we have a wonderful new candle holder that lets the candle light shine out in the shapes and patterns we chose.

The first night was a success, although we didn’t complete everything. Please consider giving some time to help us build the crafting kits for all of our activities at Beltania.

If you have questions, please contact the Council.

This is an informational meeting where we can/will discuss camping gear, shared food stuff, community tent, directions, where volunteers are still needed and who is arriving when.

If you are short a sleeping bag or a tent, want to split meals with somebody or need to carpool please post it in the comments here AND come to this meeting.

If you have an extra gear that you are willing to lend or share with folks, please contact the Council AND come to this meeting.

Part 2

This will be a fun night of sorting, cleaning and pricing. A lot of work goes into these sales, only made less strenuous by many hands and stories to share.

We will be working from five to ten pm. Please bring your own dinner and beverage, and a snack to share if you are able. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty in.

This is also a good time to bring us your donations.

The four elements play an integral part of many paths. As pagans we celebrate them as separate entities, as being made up of tangible energies and beings, and we bring them in to our Circles so that we can honor them. In an effort to make them more tangible, to help us understand the elements and incorporate them more seamlessly into our Rituals, The Council is presenting a four part series on Elemental Magick. We will begin in the North and circle around through the elements over the course of four months.

Warning: Long day ahead…

The Hall needs a good shakedown, a couple of Virgo mentalities, and a mop bucket.

More information to follow, but rest assured we will make good use of all hands and skill levels!

What we feel needs to magickally worked out, or in, will be woven into a Cleansing Ritual that we write together over our shared meal.

Please bring a picnic type of dish or beverage for the potluck.

Any questions or concerns.. Or ideas for organization optimization of the Hall.. can be emailed to the council. Blessings!

Last minute, I know.. And thrown together in much the same manner.

There is a lot going on astrologically speaking, and we will talk about much of that Thursday night. We will also being planting seeds. What kind of planned project would you like to start under this blessed New Moon? All supplies provided, donations appreciated.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Jean. Blessings!

Join us to finish the assembly of our sweat lodge and then our first ceremony. Building and watching a sweat lodge take shape is a deeply spiritual experience in itself. Together we will bend our willow branches into a Lakota style sweat lodge building which will then be covered in blankets.

We will meet to assemble the lodge at 10am. No tools will be needed just your hands and an open heart.
