Dear Ones,

 

Come get into the spirit of Halloween with us, the Mystery Project, this Sunday from 3-6pm. At the Experimental Meditation Center of Los Angeles we are holding a banishing and welcoming ceremony: a participatory spell/ceremony/happening where we will banish annoying spirits and call in helpful ones.

 

It's like this:
Spirit is energy, we can transform it, that's what we're going to do. We'll start by calling in the spirit of something that has been haunting us. Some examples might be: cigarettes (nicotine addiction, a very powerful spirit!), ex-lovers, procrastination, bad plumbing, health problems, take your pick. We'll be thinking about how we called those things into our lives, made space for them, gave energy to them, we will thank them, and then release them. You will need to bring an object that symbolizes your haunting spirit for you in order for this spell to work.

 

Then we will be calling in a new spirit, a helping spirit. Think health, vitality, a well-paying job, a book deal, a new abode, world peace, again the sky is the limit but the more specific you are, the more powerful the spell will be. There will be five altars, and we will make fetish dolls containing each of the elements. Anyway, you will get more particulars later, but in the meantime be thinking of things you want to call and banish. Also be prepared to chant, make magic art, call in the elements, and lots of other heathen stuff.

 

This will be a three hour event starting in the early afternoon on Halloween - you will totally have enough time to get dressed up and go out (and bring your good spirit with you, they love parties!). The only thing is that because we will be casting a circle there can't be late entries or early exits, so come a little early and be prepared to stay for the whole event.

 

Space is limited to 20 people though, so you should rsvp as soon as you can. When you RSVP, I will give you further information for the magical materials you need to bring (you should have most of them around your house) and the exact location of the event.

 

Tell me you want to come. Write to me at pallas.amandla [at] gmail.com  and check out our flyer below. You can also get us through the EMCLA website: http://plus1plus1plus.org/emcla/TheMysteryProject-HappeningMagic

 

Blessed be, lovers,

 

Amanda
