6. Friday, July 21, 2006: Afternoon classes

CLASS: Wandmaking (Rainmaker, Day Lodge). Teacher Rainmaker at left. Not sure who's hiding behind her, but on the right (front to back) are Willow Silverhawk, Mary Lee, and Sagewomin.


Two of the finished products:


CLASS: Charms and Talismans (Moonwriter, Day Lodge)

(l-r) Aaran, Cate, Jason, April, and Willow Silverhawk building their charms.

Rainmaker was put in charge of weatherworking for our Conclave, and given the 100 degree temperatures, it could be argued that she did her job a little too well. In ‘Charms’ class, April created a charm to bring in the west wind (which was currently blowing in from the east). Within half an hour of activating her charm, the wind changed! Not only that, but it brought in a light cloud cover. The heat mitigated somewhat, but the air became very muggy. Interesting!

CLASS: In-Person Core Energy Practices (Moonwriter, campfire ring; no photos)

A dip in one of the local swimming holes (this one below Upper North Falls) was a popular way to beat the 100 degree heat. Here are Watermusic and Lyonscribe, taking advantage of the cool water.
