Convocation 2012

In the past few weeks, I have recieved a number of emails asking if I had submitted my application for Convocation 2012. 

At first, with my current health condition, I was going to consider not applying this upcoming year.  Seriously, I was not going to do it.  But after all the emails I have received, plus a few phone calls, I have gone ahead and submitted my application for the MEC to consider for 2012. 

So those of you that asked me to do it, thank you all for your constant encouragement and support!  It is greatly appreciated and makes me humble that you think I am worthy to present these topics in our community and that they are actually desired or needed!

I have asked to only present one to two classes max, but submitted three for their consideration.  They are as follows:

Workshop: “The Pampered Pagan’s Pantry”

Room Set Up: - Open to any style available

Equipment: Table

Length:  90 minutes

 This year we will focus on making an Esbat Body Scrub! You will have your choice of one of three magical moon blends or create your own.  Did you know you might have all the ingredients you need to in your own kitchen pantry?  Come and learn a simple recipe that will help you rejuvenate and pamper your skin.  Take the time to pamper yourself, use your home spa to lift your spirits and howl at the Moon!

Workshop: “Pregnant Pagan Priestess”

Room Set Up:  Any style available

Are you a Pregnant Pagan Priestess or know someone who is?  Come discuss ideas what you can do for yourself or that special priestess during this magical phase you’re in your life.  Celebrate becoming a Mother.  Topics covered include different types of rituals for Fertility to Delivery, Creating a Magical Nursery, celebrating the Sabbats as a Pregnant Priestess and so much more!  

Workshop: “Magical Moontime”

Room Set Up:  Any style available

Equipment: None

Length:  90 minutes

Category: Women Only Please

A woman’s cycle has been referred to as the “Curse”. She has been taught for decades her body is dirty and the blood disgusting. How do you feel about your menstruation? Do you collect your flow in your magick? There are few rituals that honor this special time we women go through. Reclaim your sacredness.  Align yourself within your magical cycle by tapping into this unique power and learn about your own natural rhythm.  Learn rituals honoring the Magical Moontime.  We will discuss Blood Mysteries, the creation of Moon lodges, Red Tents, blood magic, First Blood rituals, sea sponges, cloth pads, and Earth bleeding.


So if there is a specific one of these you want to see,  make sure to write your request into the Programming Committee at Convocation!   Also, if you are wanting to present a workshop at Convocation 2012, you better submit your proposals soon!  Deadline is September 1st!!!!
