Don't forget, Sunday, July 5th, early evening we will be doing a House Blessing at Joseph and Stephanie (Princess Possum Pee) Turner's house. This will be a combination ritual of both wiccan and Lakota shamanism, and should be a lot of fun.
Steph has requested that we have a potluck that evening, so please bring a dish, either casserole, pizza stuff, salad, bread product, or dessert.
Don't forget that Steph is allergic/intolerant to both gluten and cinnamon. :) If you have questions about what to bring, check with Steph at 512.514.1428. If you have questions about the magical workings check with Daniela @ 512.989.0539, or me at the same number. :)
Steph has 2 dogs, so if you have an allergy to pets, take benadryl before you come over. Cya there!
If you will be able to make it, call or email me (or comment on this post). We currently have RSVP's from:
Jen
Ray
Daniela
Steph
Joe (will be late)
Lana

Jon's Graduation/Embers' B-Day Party!
OK,
We finally have plans for Sunday/Monday.
Embers would like us to go to the Alamo Drafthouse Sunday evening to see Transformers 2. Call me or Embers to let us know if you can come. Dress-up clothes are appropriate. I think Jon said he is wearing his dress blues, and my father said that a dress and make up are appropriate.
Those who can, will meet at Ft. Sam in SA @ approximately 8:45AM on Monday morning to attend Jon's graduation ceremony.
Some of us will be having lunch in SA before returning. Embers would like to see my mom to make sure that I am not lying about her getting better, so we will probably meet my parents for lunch.
Then, back to Austin!
We will be having dinner at Tokyo Steakhouse in the evening (no, I do not have an exact time yet). It is approximately $20/person. After dinner we will come back to my house for a party. Alcohol of your choice is desired, and you will probably want to bring munchies as well, since Ray and I blew WAAAY too much at Michael's B-day party and Litha. :) If Embers is nice to me this weekend, I may be able to wrangle up some sort of a cake or something, though. :)
Don't forget that we are moving Monica on Saturday! Be there, or be square (if you are local, anyway...)
With love and blessings,

New Blog & Post-Midsummer Info
Hi guys, I am creating this blog because our online communications have been a little wonky lately. Evite has been failing me miserably and with the costs of stamps and printing going up, it is just too expensive to keep sending out paper invites (especially having a graphic designer as our HP... ;).
If you can read this blog, then you have been invited as one of the authors, and may post here as well. :)
Here is a recap from the meeting we had after Litha. :) Enjoy!
For those of you that missed our circle meeting, we decided to purchase a fridge/freezer to put in my garage for Circle use, and we are requesting between $10 and $20 from those of you who attend rituals on a regular basis. We have learned over the past few months that my fridge and freezer is simply inadequate for what we are trying to do here. All circle members will be able to store properly labeled personal stuff in this new fridge for short times, and all circle food and drink will be stored there as well. Stephanie Turner (now known as Princess Possum Pee) has also offered the use of her deep freeze as well.
Our Lughnassadh/Lammas Celebration and Ritual will take place on August 1st in the evening. We will have more details to follow.
Jon Pena, our Circle Guardian, will be graduating from the Army Mental Health Specialists School on June 29th and we will be holding a celebration for him that evening. As Jennifer Chapman’s (Embers-On-Wind) birthday is June 30th, we will be celebrating her birthday as well. More details to follow.
One of our circle members, Monica, is moving to Dallas on June 27th, and has asked for help in loading the truck (or for those who have the time and energy, for unloading the truck in Dallas). If you would like to join us, we will be meeting at Monica’s Saturday morning @ 10AM. Contact me or Monica for details.
We decided today that we will be having monthly gatherings (not including Sabbats and assigned esbats). Our gathering in July will be a house blessing and warding for Stephanie and Joe Turner at their home.
Our proposed date for this is July 5th. Please let me know (ASAP) if this date will work for you and if you would like to attend. You can also propose a different date as we all have weird schedules.
I recently attended the Red Oak Fellowship’s Midsummer Faining. This is a Norse group that was referred to as something like the Kindred by several of the members. Our contact with this group is Jay Bolton, and he has invited those of our circle who are interested to attend their gatherings. If you are interested, let me know and I will get you in contact with Jay.
While attending this gathering, I was able to take part in their Cumbel (sp?). This community based activity was very powerful, and I have borrowed from it to put to use in our circle meetings. Our first attempt at this went very well today, and everyone who participated in it definitely seemed to get good energy from it. I believe that we shall continue with the practice. For more info, contact me later.
For those of you that are interested in other types of energy work, Danielle is taking a class on Middle-Eastern Dance and has proposed that those interested begin working on this with her. Contact her for more details. Also, Friend of the Circle, Lana Toporek has offered to work with any who are interested in either Yoga or Martial Arts.
