FIRE ritual for Imbolc/Brigid

The VORTEX and Tejas Web present
Two Nights of Theatrical Ritual honoring
The Element of FIRE

When: Friday and Saturday,
February 3-4, 2012 8pm
Two Nights Only!

Where: The Yard @ The VORTEX

Admission: Free!

Donations Welcome.

Also accepting Baby Formula and Food donations for SafePlace Pantry.

Celebrate Imbolc with VORTEX performers and witches of Tejas Web as we turn the
wheel. Gather outside in The Yard @ The VORTEX for a magical honoring of the
Element that has shaped our lives in Central Texas so much this past year. We
will also honor Brigid, Triple Goddess of Poetry, Healing, and Smithcraft, as
well as the energies of Pele, Phoenix, Golden Lion, and Dragon.

With the severe drought, burn ban, and devastating Wild Fires, VORTEX postponed
the full production of The Elementals: FIRE, choosing instead to honor FIRE with
2 nights of ritual including candle magic, singing, storytelling, cauldron work,
and fire-dancing. If we get rain and there is no burn ban, there will gather
around the hearth fire.

Inbolc, the 1st of February belongs to Brigid, (Brighid, Brigit, Bride), Celtic
goddess and Christian Saint. Her ancient festival on February 1 was known as
Imbolc, a time that marks the first lactating of the ewes, the flow of milk that
heralds the return of the life-giving forces of spring. The Catholic Church
replaced this festival with Candlemas on February 2, dedicated to the Virgin
Mary and featuring candlelight processions.

THE NEW YEAR'S WEB OF CHANGE: CRAFTING YOUR DREAM FOR 2012
A 2-Day Magic Class
Taught by WildCat and Fireball

The dark time of the year from Samhain to Brigid is the time when Witches let go of the old and make room for the new. In this two-day class, we will work with magical tools (including Tarot, trance, and dreamwork) to discern the intentions we and our spiritual allies have for our lives in 2012. Then we will craft a Web of Change, a powerful spell for the New Year which will help us to work with our allies to manifest our dreams for this coming year.

Witches of all experience levels welcome! There are no prerequisites for this class, but it will be very helpful if you are already in conversation with some spiritual allies, and are familiar with basic magical practices such as grounding, casting a circle, and raising energy.

This Wiccan magic class will be held at Rhiannon's Rest, a magical Victorian retreat near Oak Hill. Class size limited, so reserve your spot early! Registration fee on a sliding scale (pay what you can) $80-160 ($120-$240 after Jan 1). Couples deal! $120-$240 ($180-$360 after Jan 1). For questions or to register, email wildcat.russell@gmail.com

Our intention: We cleanse ourselves in the healing waters of Brigid's Well, and we forge our will in Brigid's cauldron to speak our truth and be heard.

- an item (non-perishable food, clothing, baby and toddler supplies, etc.) to donate for Safe Place (http://www.safeplace.org).

Dress for the weather. Parental discretion is advised in bringing children, as there will be an open fire, and the main part of the ritual may not engage young children.

PARTNERSHIP MAGIC TRAINING
With WildCat and Fireball
In this intensive 9-month training, you and your partner will practice using magical tools that will enable you to bring more consciousness to your life partnership. By connecting with the gods and with your own higher Self and intentions, you will be able to work together consciously to break down destructive patterns and blocks to intimacy, to strengthen the cords that weave you together, and to raise your upper limit on love and happiness.

Teachers: WildCat and Fireball are experienced Witches (and lovers!) Both have learned to be conscious in love relationships through the school of suffering the consequences of being unconscious, and through the joy and struggle of creating a magical, conscious partnership together.

The training consists of 9 weekend workshops (Sept 12-13, Oct 24-25, Nov 14-15, Dec 12-13, Jan
9-10, Feb 13-14, Mar 13-14, Apr 10-11, May 15-16). Each workshop will be Saturday 10 am-9 pm, including an evening ritual, and Sunday 12-4. The series is open to committed partners, including those in nontraditional committed love
relationships as well as married couples. All participants need to have some previous experience with magic.

Cost is sliding scale $165-275/couple per workshop, with deposit of 1st workshop fee due a month in advance to hold space for the series. Discount option: $1200/couple in advance for the 9 workshops. There will be an extra charge for overnight accommodations (if available).
