The Cyber Temple

I haven't BEEN to red tent in forever, having babies and all that mess. Good to see some interested hither and to for this community though! I have finally started using livejournal again, lots of pent up stuff I need to start getting out.

How has everyone been? I'll start updating here again, red tent is still going strong, whether I'm physically there or not. It's really a community and a state of mind beyond the circle.

Love and beautiful, feminine, red energy your way!

Okay, I have yet to hear updates on the dates for red tent events this next month, but I assume it'll be

Scarlet Maiden Sisterhood, Nov. 5
Red Tent Planning, Nov. 12
and then
Red Tent, Nov. 19

This will be the one year anniversary of Red Tent, so I think it is going to be for the most part a celebration! I will try to keep up with updates as the updates are... um, updated (lol).

But yeah!
Happy almost Halloween ;D

RED TENT PLANNING

is cancelled this month. I am not SURE, but I think Fall Fling is the following week end? I really don't know. Um, but anyways, yeah. NO RED TENT PLANNING!!!

OCTOBER RED TENT THURSDAY OCTOBER 15, 2009

Not sure what is the theme, I'll wait until someone posts one to either the yahoo group, or the myspace page. But anywho, I assume it will be powerful and well liked as is usual (lol). I am really going to try to make it. I mean, literally, all I have to do to get there is just GO, but I'm trying to be all responsible and stuff *BOOOO* with the gas money thing, but yeah... WILL UPDATE as soon as... I have an update.

HOMESTEAD HOLLOW TRIP!!

I am not sure than many people went, and I have not read a review of the event at all. I wanted to ask, but I dunno (cut me some slack, I'm shy *lol*). I'm hoping that poor turn out won't make red tent outings or non up in the meeting room meetings impossible. Next month is November, and if any one has ideas, throw them out there are take charge of it! Maybe you should all just throw me a birthday party, because I am the most important person on the planet (at least I was last time I checked) *just kidding*.

October Scarlett Maidens

Again, I wasn't there, but rumor has it that it was fantastic, powerful, and was a step towards making us, the younger girls, more proactive and so forth. Would love a review on that too, if anyone that went is on the list and wants to provide one to the admittedly small livejournal group.

That is all for now, thought I'd update while I had time and presence of mind. Hope you are all feeling blessed!

TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT

Scarlet maiden sisterhood (SMS, lil' red tent, 21 and under, unless your one of the 55% of them that are older) is TONIGHT, 6pm, @ Salix house.

I'll miss you guys, but I can't afford a trip to the ham, or really anywhere except to get necessities (my life sucks at life, lol).

SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY

Homestead Hollow trip. Can't remember if I posted details. They'll be meeting over there around 9:30am, hollow opens at 9, parking sucks so come early and/or car poor. They will be doing a guided meditiation. Family may join you. I think, but don't quote me, it costs $7 to get in, and if 20 or more show, it'll be $5 a person (group rate).

Again, I won't be there (which sucks, because that was supposed to be out prepreprehomeschool feild trip for Lilith), because I am poor and pathetic.

Take care!

Today feels really good, and that is saying a lot considering I slept like crap last night (lol)...

TONIGHT is Red Tent Temple at Books, Beans, and Candles Magick Shoppe in Birmingham, Alabama from 6-9 pm. There will be movement, and it will be witnessed. We plan on shaking out some stagnation in our lives. So dress comfortable, and if all that mess makes you uncomfortable... yeah. I am trying really hard to face my discomfort (although I think admitting and giving in to my discomfort last month instead of just trying to push through it with the group was positive for me), so I'll be there.

ALSO, some red tent ladies on the yahoo group have been bouncing day trip ideas. I love it! I think we are considering Homestead Hollow on the October 3rd, but I'm not sure. There were a LOT of awesome ideas. We are going to have a small planning meeting for the *feild trip* at the shoppe at 6pm on Wednesday, Sep. 23rd, if you are interested in adding input.

And other than that... um, happy Thursday? yeah, happy thursday (lol).

Okay, so I finally made it to a planning meeting and wow! Really cool, first of all. Second of all, it really made me notice how mad my pregnancy brain is getting (lol).

I encourage anyone involved with red tent to go to that next month, and help out and so forth, or be like me, and be really dumb, and watch other people make magick happen (lol).

ANYways, September Red Tent Temple is upcoming, next Thursday, which will be the 17th (got that? Thursday, September 17, 2009). We will be attempting a more uplifting temple, and I am so excited about it!

Our focus, our THING, for the month is going to be stagnation, and we are going to get our bodies, physical and etherial, MOVING. All things are moving. All things are changing. It is now Autumn, and physically the earth and the crops and even the sun are fading and whithering. Scary? Yeah. Progress? Always...

So move...

OK, so the Red Tent Planning meeting was AMAZING! Thanks to the special women that attended! For those of you that don't know- Pixie has been doing the "internet stuff" for RTT for a while. She is the one that keeps up with the Myspace page and keeps up with the Twitter and I think a Facebook too! Well, at the last RTT Planning, Pixie came prepared! She brought some fanTAStic work that she wanted to suggest for us to do at the next meeting! I hope you ALL can make it because it is going to be bararang! More deep work I'm afraid! :0. So special thanks to Pixe- she rocks the socks!

If at all possible- any of you Red Tent Women that can come early this Thursday, August 20th please do so! We need to decide the BEST date for photo shoot and the best date for another planning at my house! There is MUCH to discuss!!

I can't wait till Thursday!!

~re-snipped from the MCP forum~
**snipped post from RTT Yahoo Group**

This month's Red Tent Planning meeting will be held August 13th (Thursday) from 6 - 9 at Books, Beans and Candles. Salix will be working on sorting and tagging items for the auction being held at the store on Friday to benefit the Witches' Ball. We will meet to plan for next week and spend social time with our sisters. We will also be helping to get the auction items ready.

While RTT is not a "pagan" group, we do benefit from the generosity of that community (we get the space for free as you all know) so we're going to give a little back by helping with the auction.

Also - if you have free time Friday before RTT and would like to help Salix out - please shoot her an e-mail or just post to this list and let her know. I'm sure she can find some work for you


Hope to see you there! In the meantime - Love and Light to you all!


Deandra (Creepy)

is TONIGHT @ Salix's place... I do not know the theme, but really it's not too important since no one from the group follows the livejournal (lol). But yeah, BE THERE!! or miss out on seeing me... and you know that would just suck ;P

Hellllllllllo Beautiful WOMEN!!
I just wanted to take a few seconds to tell you all how very proud I am of you for July's Red Tent! It was powerful and beautiful and extremely pleasing to me to be a part of!
Don't forget about this month's homework! Because we talked about it at the end of our night and because a few ladies couldn't attend I wanted to post it again here!

For this month- find the thing. You know, the thing from your past that still causes you pain. The thing someone said or did that every now and then just sneaks back up and pinches you- HARD. The thing that makes you cry when you lie down at night and everyone is sleeping. The hurtful thing someone that you loved said or did that still is a thorn in your paw.

Then, after you've found it- spend a few days sitting with it. Ask yourself who? what? when? where? how? and why?
Who hurt you?
What did they do?
When did it happen?
Where did it happen?
How did it happen?
And WHY does it still hurt you?
Discover WHY does this thing from long ago and maybe far away still have the ability to cause you pain? Ask yourself the question and answer yourself honestly. Then I want you to use one of the skills you've learned either from Red Tent or in your personal Path to start the process of letting it go.
Write it and bury it, or burn it, or flush it, or tear it into pieces and throw it on the wind, or speak it into the moon- whatever YOU choose- and then LET IT GO! Whenever it tries to come back to you remind yourself that you burned it, or buried it, or flushed it, or tore it up and LET IT GO again. And then again. And then again. And then again. And then again. KEEP LETTING IT GO until it's gone. It could take a long time but I believe in you and your POWER to heal yourself!!!

While you're doing this might warrior WOMEN, remember that your Red Tent SISTERS are also doing it. Pray for us, light candles for us, speak our names to the morning as the sun rises, speak our name to the night as the moon rises for us to have the strength to heal ourselves this month with the support of our Red Tent SISTERS!!
I love you all VERY MUCH!!!
See you soon!!!
