Workshop: 3:30 PM, Blockhouse: “The Descent of Inanna / The Descent of the Self” (with Melissa)
This workshop explores the Sumerian story of the Descent of Inanna into the Underworld. We'll start with an overview of its symbolism and history as it relates to the Wheel of the Year, as well as examining the story as allegory for the psychological and sociological cycles that we all experience. The roles of the individual and the role of the community...what does Inanna's story tell us about the roles we play? How can we use these lessons to get the most out of our own time in the underworld and guide us in our return?
Kids’ Workshop: 4:00 PM, Library: “Food Magick” (with Ruthie)
Food Magick! Sure we love to eat it, but we witches also like to play with our food! Kids and under 18s can join us as we learn about practical food magick, and have some yummy treats as well.
November Ritual: 7:45 PM, Library: “The Descent of Inanna” (By Cyndie-Lea)
Power and surrender, love and hate, sorrow and joy; we descend into the darkness to reconcile these parts of us, so that we may ascend from the darkness whole.
This ritual, which contains mature themes and ritual nudity, may not be appropriate for children. This ritual includes a journey and may be challenging for those with mobility issues. If you have questions or need more detailed information, please contact the ritual director: cyndielea AT oloteas DOT org.
What to Bring:
Snacks for yourself, a potluck item to share, and your own feastgear (plate, cup, utensils) , as on-site supplies are limited. No meat may be prepared on the kitchen surfaces (pre-cooked meat is acceptable) . No alcohol or other intoxicants are allowed at OLOTEAS events.
You might also want to bring a towel for pool/hot tub use (note: the pool area is clothing-optional) . Shoes cannot be worn inside, so please wear a pair that can be slipped easily on and off. We strive to do the main ritual outside, regardless of weather, so please bring layered clothing for colder/wetter weather if desired. Feel free to bring and play your drums or other instruments. Also, please note that, due to allergy and wildlife concerns, no pets are allowed on site (except service animals) .
Registration:
We request a donation of $10.00 for adults, $5.00 for children 13-17, and $2.00 for children 2-12; this includes all aspects of the event. It is important for event and ritual planning that *all* people check in at the front door. Please do not arrive before 2:00 pm unless you want to attend the work party at 10:00 am.
A Note About Children:
This site features a swimming pool, hot tub, and numerous natural outside features that pose potential risks for unattended children; therefore, children MUST be under adult supervision (in line-of-sight) at ALL times during this event. With respect to the pool, an individual adult may be responsible FOR NO MORE THAN 3 CHILDREN (those 13 and under) . Other than the kids' workshop (when offered) , there are no organized children's activities, although there are games and crafts for kids.
A Note About Noise at the Longhouse:
The Longhouse requires that participants keep the noise level very low after 10:00 pm. Loud noise includes car alarms (so make sure your alarm is turned off) , car muffler issues or backfiring (if your vehicle has issues, please park at the top of the hill parking lot) , loud motorcycle engines (again, please park at the top of the hill parking lot) , drumming or other music (if it continues long after ritual, please stop and ask a staff member if there is a space indoors where drumming or other music could continue until 10 pm) , and loud talking in the parking lot (voices carry over to the neighbors' property) . Also, please be considerate by entering and exiting the site quietly.
A Note About Parking and Carpooling:
Please carpool if at all possible -- there is limited onsite parking. If driving to the site, please park close to the adjacent vehicle, but be considerate of vehicles displaying disability license plates or signs. Once at the site, due to limited space and potential number of participants, we advise that folks leave most personal belongings in their vehicles.
