"Nothing is sweet or easy about community. Community is a fellowship of people who do not hide their joys and sorrows but make them visible to each other in a gesture of hope." - Henri Nouwen

"Commitment, by its nature, frees us from ourselves and, while it stands us in opposition to some, it joins us with others similarly committed. Commitment moves us from the mirror trap of the self absorbed with the self to the freedom of a community of shared values." - Michael Lewis

"Last Saturday" and Joe's Drumming/Dance Circle

Last Saturday of every month

Pipe Creek, Texas
________________________


General Description:

Last Saturday is a monthly event intended to focus on pagan education and socializing, and often coincides with rituals celebrating a turn of the wheel. The event is family oriented and includes our Youth group.  We are creating a safe, fenced in area for the littlest members.

This year will focus on divination and spell casting followed by a drumming circle around the bonfire every month. Dancers are welcomed and all are invited to join us! Bring your favorite deck of cards.

This event is FREE. Bring a folding chair for around the bonfire and a thick cushion to sit upon when the weather brings us inside the Magick House. Be sure to bring food and drink and socialize while we live and share pagan values and community. Often we share among friends.

Drumming is for everyone. There is no minimum skill level for drumming or dancing. Let the Spirit move you!

Pagans and pagan friendly folk are welcome to bring their crafts to Last Saturday and set up an informal display to sell items. Come and sell your wares and earn some gas money while other Nature People have an opportunity to shop. COTES does not accept and portion from the sale of your handy work....this opportunity is provided to give artisans from our community an opportunity to have their items in an open market. The only limit to sales is during rituals when the sale of items may be a distraction, and therefore prohibitied for the duration of rituals.

Please feel free to e-mail Lady Mithriel at cotessite @ gmail.com with any questions or for directions (to assure privacy) to the Magick House (located in Bandera County NW of San Antonio on 12 acres of Hill Country private property) .
