Please RSVP, either on the event or PM me directly if you prefer, so I can get a head count for the restaurant reservation (walk-ins are always welcome)
The space is reserved for free, but you are kindly asked to order something

DECEMBER DISCUSSION TOPIC:
YULETIDE RITE, WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE, ARTS & CRAFTS TIME
We have voted to continue doing the short but meaningful Yule rite by Lady Bridwen. It is special for many reasons and I hope it becomes a beloved tradition.
The gift exchange game is always a fun thing to play. We have decided to shop AT HOME for a modest gift. So please re-gift or dust off something from the shelf for us to fight over. It can be magickal or practical, silly or whatever, but something modest/cheap.
Also, we will be bringing our current art/crafts projects with us to work on as we continue the fellowship! It can be writing, drawing, fabric arts, etc. whatever you do.
We will close with a vote for December's discussion topic, so please bring your suggestions! We are open to any topic that is magick related (occult, supernatural, metaphysical, other worldly, etc)
POINT OF ORDER:
We will first gather at a community table to eat and chat casually. Then we will move into an open circle to discuss our monthly topic. Announcements of local area events or interests are welcome. Finally, we will vote on the next month's discussion topic/activity, if not already arranged.
WHAT WE DO:
This monthly in-person gathering of like minded folks meet for fellowship and friendly discussion and activities related to various topics of magic(k) and metaphysics.
Everyone with an open mind and kind heart are welcome.
Much thanks and blessings to all,
Phoenix
Event Host
