Hello there!

Most of my posts are kept private, so ping me if you'd like to be added.

We just spent 4 days in LaPush....I'm so peaced out! There was a good balance between mild weather for hiking and super stormy omgthosewaves weather. I had no internet, no phone, only my books and conversation with Jon over tarot cards, Liber LXV, a hike to 2nd beach, several baths in the soaking tub for two, and a quite Magickal walk in the wood.

We sang songs at the top of our lungs most of the way there and back again, including Queen's "FLASH!" in honor of Flash underwear. I also purchased some new rain boots with a native pattern on them that are super cute.

In other news, being be-Twilighted (we also sang E.L.O.'s song, Twilight, and Hungry Like the Wolf as we entered the Forks/LaPush area), there wasn't a significant difference in the area, thank the gods. Yes, there were references on a few storefronts, on a few restaurant menus, and a few corners had some tacky Vampirephenalia, but Forks was still boring ol' Forks and LaPush is still an amazing unplugged getaway. I did count three locations that had life sized actor cut-outs, and there were signed actor headshots available at the resort office...but it was small in proportion to the native art and normal souvenirs.

I've updated my list of LaPush essentials this trip, to keep the experience real.

Speaking of Flash, I was having a few lately. Or at least I thought I was. I was still having intermittent insomnia, waking in the night way overheated after having what seemed like fever dreams. Turns out *someone* had adjusted our thermostat timer to go up to 72º at about 10:30 each night. With the vent right over our bed...oi!

I've reprogrammed the thing and have had a good nights sleep ever since!

Opening night was wonderful...and it only gets better from here!

Now I am being serenaded by Lon DuQuette over coffee and a leisurely preparation for brunch. There is a lecture today and another show tonight.

What a wonderful world!

An Evening with Antero Alli

Join us for a workshop and Q & A session with author, filmmaker, and astrologer Antero Alli
Open to all - admission $10.00

WHAT I KNOW & DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE H.G.A.
Aleister Crowley considered ritual conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel the central work of the Thelemic magickian. Though I am neither Crowleyite or a member of any magickal order, I have created and have been immersed in a group ritual technology for Self-initiation since 1977, something I call “paratheatre”. Over the last year, I have been working with two groups of eight seasoned ritualists using techniques of paratheatre to engage ritual conversation with the H.G.A. (which I also know by two other names: Genius and Daemon). In this lecture, I present the central revelations, techniques, and ritual forms developed in our experiments and leave it to the respected audience to determine their value and legitimacy.

( Among the topics we'll cover: )

Crash and I just got home from our four hour Basic Handgun Safety class.

WHAT FUN!!!

Together we learned handgun safety, range etiquette, and heard great stories and information about guns in general.

We also got to shoot the following:

Revolvers:
Two different varieties of .22 (names escape me, but I think there was a Taurus and a S&W...hated the first, loved the second)
.357 Magnum
38 Special
Enjoyed both of the last two with a slight lean toward the .38

Semi-automatic:
Ruger and Glock .22
a 30 year old Olympic marksman's pistol
Glock 9mm
and a Kimber 1911 style .45 w/crimson trace (laser sight)

I'm not sure when, but we both want to do another class, or get some range time in.

Let's go SHOOTIN!

It was glorious!

We're all so happy :)

Horizon Oasis held a beautiful reception for us at the temple.

I've had very little sleep and will have to try to nap before we gather to do it again.

Thanks to everyone who came and showed us such glowing support.

There are still tickets available at the door, so come on down, you don't want to miss it!
