Howdy All!
This is just a short reminder that if you plan on teaching at ConVocation 2013, you better get those applications into the MEC quickly. The deadline to submit workshops is almost upon us.
I have already received a few emails if I were going to present again on my Mooncycle Magic series and I have decided to NOT submit any workshops for 2013.
Why?
You see, one of my favorite authors will be presenting next year for the very first time at ConVocation! With my past lucks of wanting to go to Guest Presenter classes (such as Dorothy Morrison, Selena Fox, and a few others) I simply do not want to miss any of her classes if I am able to have the opportunity to go to them. In the past I was alwasys scheduled the same time as most of the classes I wanted to attend. So I took myself out of the equation. It will also give me more time to go see my favorite candle maker, owner of Coventry Creations, Detroit's own Hoo-Doo lady, Jacki Smith's classes as well! I learn something new every year from Jacki! If you haven't read Coventry Magic yet, you really should think about buying it! It's one of my favorite books on the market!
It will be lots of fun going and not worrying about the stress that comes with presenting! I always "freak" out the night before my workshops and sleep very little wondering if anyone would show up. Of course when that happened a few times they had to bring in more chairs to accomodate the amount of people that did show up!
The next few years I am going to be focusing on my health and my writing. I am currently working on a few separate projects. It's just focusing on one at a time to complete it is where I am having problems. I just want to work on them all at once. Hahaha Who knows maybe for 2014 I will have a new workshop or two to present for consideration in the following years.
So I am looking forward to just relaxing, attending classes, and hanging out with my magical family this coming year. It's going to be a ball. After last year, I do know now that I need to bring in my own food. I got pretty sick last year so no playing around this coming year. Or I will need to research the restaurants in the area better to plan my meals. When I made my reservation last year I did request the same room, it was an awesome room!
Sincerely,
Crystal

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”
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”
Workshop: “Magical Moontime”
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!!!!

Moonflow Magic / Mooncycle Magic / Menstrual Magic, etc.
So today I visited some of the Yahoo Groups that I like to follow. On one of them there were a few posts about a young girl's first menarche. Those that know me, know that I am very fond of Menstrual Magic and I have a number of workshops I have presented at Convocation in the past few years. (Still debating if I should resubmit some of these workshops for next year as the Moon is the theme and they would fit into it very nicely).
I have been having issues with what term I should use. If a person does a search for Mooncycle Magic, they will get a TON of results for the actual phases of the moon. I have heard of the term Moonflow before. Don't really know if I like it, but it is a bit more specific. I am just wondering how to "classify" this type of magic to distinguish it from the phases of the moon type magic.
So I am interested to know what others think about magic that evolves around menstruation. What would you call it?
Blessed Be,
Crystal
