Celtic Spirits

We're mired well and good in the part of the 101 course I like to affectionately call Deity-Palooza and yesterday, Diane did her presentation on the Celts and the Egyptians.

By pure coincidence, I happened to notice this film on the NFB.ca website called Celtic Spirits and thought you might find it interesting. Enjoy!

3rd Trimester assignments

There seems to be some confusion over the assignments over the next few weeks. Let me attempt to clarify:

1. I did a presentation on the history of paper, writing, and binding. Your homework is to write a 3 page paper (double-spaced) on an aspect of that presentation, which is due in 3 weeks.

2. For the next six weeks, we'll be doing 10 minute presentations on various deity systems and cultures. Every week, you will pick a new culture a prepare a 10 minute presentation on it (where you need to talk about one God and one Goddess).

3. At the end of these six weeks, you will write two final papers on a God and Goddess of your choice from any culture you want.

West Island's Avalon Centre

This past weekend, the West Island's Avalon Centre hosted a public Bealtane ritual that got over 90 people in attendance. I'm so jealous!

Our class was honored and pleased to be visited by Yvon who gave an excellent lecture on Therapeutic Touch.
 Thanks Yvon!

Guest Speaker for the Next Class

Just a reminder that this week's class is the Sabbat exam followed by a presentation on Therapeutic Touch. I have confirmed that the presenter will be coming to us (rather than us going to him in the West Island), so please remember to bring your $5.

Please continue reading those chapters in the Pagans and Christians book so that we can continue discussing them in class.

I'll also be expecting the second installment of your elememtal presentations.
