New Moon — not an expert on moon lore, but I’ll consider.
How about working with groups – tips and things to avoid? — Very good thought.
spellcasting master class — I’ve done that at FSG before, I wouldn’t wish to appear to be a one trick pony.
DIETIES OF ALL TYPES — I have a couple of deity classes, definitely a possibility.
shielding from the negative energy of others, history of modern paganism (the good, the bad, and the ugly), comparative mythology — shielding is a good one, history is a maybe because I don’t really focus on the scholarly, mythology can tie in with deities…all good thoughts
Gardnerian Wicca 101 for the Unititiated–I did my Who Are the Gardnerians once at FSG and it was under-attended. Not sure there’s real interest.
Elementals as Helpmates–Oh, I do NOT recommend elementals as helpmates. BUT I could put together a multi-session course on the elements.
Sleeping Late as an Act of Worship–HA! Schedule that one for 9 am, bitchez!
Empowering the Elections in 2010–Not really interested in going political. This would do better as a choice people make based on my teaching magical techniques.

Keep ‘em coming!

Yesterday I attended Southeastern Massachusetts Pagan Pride Day in Lakeville, Mass. The weather was unexpectedly gorgeous, which was awkward for me, since I was overdressed and had a little difficulty with the sun.

It was a lovely event. There was a constant flow of music and dance, and quite a few workshops (I did two). The merchanting was lovely, with a great array of handcrafts, ritual objects, and other delights. My books sold well, which always makes me a very happy witch.

The camp was also hosting a local football game (high school, I think) so there were periodic visits by confused and curious cheerleaders.

I decided to leave early, as the main ritual began, because of my 3 1/2 hour drive, and just as I got into my car the sky opened up and the rain began, so I felt pretty fortunate.

The hosts were very nice to me and helpful, which I always appreciate. And I met several readers whom I only knew online, so that was awesome.

The best part though, was reuniting with a former student whom I haven’t seen in more than fifteen years. She’s grown from a feisty teenager to a lovely woman in that time, and I cannot tell you how awesome, how fulfilling, it was to see her. And she hugged me and told me how much I had meant to her, and I am all teary-eyed just thinking about it.

The drive was not that bad; there was a short stretch where visibility was seriously impaired by the rain, but I still was home by 8:30 and got right into my nightie, ate chips, and watched TV. Ahhhhhhh.

I am so excited about this event. I was just added to the schedule last night, and it gives me a way to travel in my pathetic unemployed state. Plus teach, sign books, and hang out with dear friends.

I will be teaching the full three-part Structure of Spellcasting course, which is one of my favorite things to teach. I am so excited I just feel like packing right now.

Hope to see you there!
