If your image is here and you’d prefer it wasn’t, please let us know and I’ll swap your pic for someone/something else.

Thanks again to everyone who supported us in hosting a brilliant event :-)

It’s official – Beltaine 08 was a grand success!

We’re back from Beltaine08 and after a mammoth 10hr sleep last night, I feel I am just coming down from the excitement of the weekend. From all reports, Beltaine08 was a brilliant success and we’re really happy that so many people who travelled so far (country Victoria, Adelaide, Canberra, regional NSW) had SUCH a good time with us Sydneysiders :-) It was an awesome weekend! :-D

Here is one comment we’ve received already…

Hi

Just a post mortem of the weekend.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

The weekend was dead set awesome, workshops, accommodation, catering, ritual everything was wonderfully planned. It made it a great success.

Look forward for more to come.

Mel

Thank You for giving us your feedback, both in written form on our survey and verbally during the weekend ad hoc in your comments to us. We will use it in our preparations for next years events – for Beltaine and others.

Photos

If you send us your photos that you don’t mind sharing, I’ll upload them to a central spot and will send all participants a link, so we can share our memories of the weekend.

And I think that’s all I can really comment on so far today – my body is still sore from climbing up all the stairs and all walking I did at the site and I’ll need a day or two to stretch out my muscles.

Thank You to…

• Colleen & Sarah for their mouth watering kitchen witchery & catering skills – truly magickal!
• Gypsy Lee and Pangenta’s Cauldron for an inspired and fun Beltaine ritual
• Ambrosia & Dan for their introductory sex magick workshop
• Tamaryn of Beat That Drum for her drum workshop, her bodypainting decorations and general free spirited energy :-)

And thank you to all of the other members of our organising committee who presented the rest of the workshops.

Again, thanks goes to every single person who came along to support us in our very first event of this kind. Each of you added to its success!

Stay tuned for photos!

Look for Stacey Demarco on the cover!

 

The new copy of Spellcraft should hit newsagents this week. If you’re a subscriber, watch your mailbox and when you get your hands on a copy, flick straight to the Broomstick Pages for information on Beltaine 08!

 

Many personal thanks to Joanne Lock of Spellcraft for supporting Beltaine 08 and hopefully helping us achieve the minimum numbers we need to hold this event.

Bright Spring Blessings to all! :-D

New Sydney Beltaine 08 Flyer!

Sydney Beltaine 2008

We will also be uploading two printable versions (colour and b&w) of this flyer for you to download and print off and put on your local noticeboards or shop windows.  We are also happy to print these for you and send them to you in the post. Just drop us a line via email and let us know where to send them :-)

I’ll pop up a reminder here on the blog section when I’ve created the downloadble files & links.

A massive thank you goes to Akashic Designs for the ‘pro-bono’ work.

You can download a copy of our flyer here.

New ‘Thank you’ link section

Hi all,

We’re working hard to get the word out there for Beltaine 08 and we’ve been getting some help from quite a few groups out there. To record this support and say thank you, I’ve created a Thank You link section so you can see who is supporting us in spreading the word.

Within the next week, we will have a hard copy flyer to get out as well, so if you’re able to put it in your shop, stall or on a local noticeboard, let us know and we’ll post some out to you.

So to those who are supporting us with advertising, a HUGE Thank You goes to you.

Keep an eye out for the next edition of Spellcraft as well for our write up in the Broomstick Pages :-)

Thanks to Magickal Mates!
