As an island nation, Japan has always relied heavily on fishing, and fishing relies on the tides and the moon. It should come as no surprise then that one of the oldest recorded folktales from Japan is a story of the Moon Princess. Bring your arts and crafts project if you have one, or just come and listen to the story of that time the Emperor of Japan clashed with the Armies of the Moon.

4:45–6:15 pm  Online Workshop: Pacific Northwest Woo-Woo and You: Reconnecting Body, Mind, and Spirit with Place ​(with Stephanie)
Most of us do not have indigenous roots, or indigenous roots in this place. Still, we feel the call of the mountains, forests, and waters, and yearn to connect. How do we honor our personal connection to this land and its unique and glorious energies, without cultural appropriation? We will begin this complex conversation, and explore some simple actions to begin or deepen the journey of connection.

6:30 pm Community Announcements followed by...
Ritual: ​August Picnic Online! -- Ants & High Hopes ​(with Kimberly)

4:00pm – 5:30pm Online Workshop: Introduction to Quantum Physics and Metaphysics (with Bobby)
This topic originated as a fairly straightforward discussion of the basics of quantum mechanics, but quantum physics and metaphysics may be "entangled" beyond the possibility of separation. We will explore the apparent symmetry of scale between empirical observations in metaphysics and specific interpretations of classic quantum paradoxes.
-- No prior background in quantum or classical physics is necessary. The only prerequisite is a willingness to contemplate and explore some Really Weird Stuff.

5:30pm – 6:00pm Online Ritual: A Guided Visualization for Connection, Protection, and Courage (with Stephanie)
Together, we will take some time to remember that we are not alone even if we are not together, to ask for protection for our communities, and to recognize our inner courage and ability to face this challenging time. If you wish, have a candle to light during the ritual or some other magickal object you can use for focus.

6:00pm – 7:00pm OLOTEAS Online Community Discussions
Using Zoom's "Breakout Room" sessions, we will have 3 moderated spaces available for social conversations for one hour. Stay in the main room (where you enter the Zoom meeting) for a general discussion, or choose to join a room for folx who want to specifically talk about Covid19-related issues, or a room for folx who specifically do NOT want to talk about anything related to Covid19 right now.

1:00 – 1:30          Doors open, Opening Circle (Stone Circle)

1:30 – 2:30          Workshop: “THE FIVE C's: Clearing, Casting, Consecrating, Calling, and Crystallization” (Library)
Janice Van Cleve, Women of the Goddess Circle
A typical Pagan ritual is like a cauldron in which we cook the soup of magic. The Five C's is how we light the fire to get the cauldron boiling. In this workshop we will explore and explain Clearing, Casting, Consecrating, Calling, and Crystallization.
 
1:30 – 3:00          Workshop: “Applying Timeline Magic to Personal Protection” (Blockhouse) 
Rich, Sean Ciall Sword Circle
There are many aspects to protecting oneself, both physically and psychically. Learning to manage Time (Time Dilation) and Space (Psychogeography) in a conflict is often the key to staying safe. Psychogeography is about understanding the spatial relationship between two or more people and the energy/information being shared between them. Time Dilation (i.e. the manipulation of time and the perception of time for yourself and others) is one of the most complex self-defense methods but can be highly effective under the right conditions. Ultimately, Time Dilation and Psychogeography can be used to de-escalate hostility and protect yourself from malicious threats. We in Sean Ciall Sword Circle train in these techniques to keep ourselves and our training partners safe when doing choreographed ritual fights. This workshop will include a guided visualization to help demonstrate how the skills can be used to manage a conflict.
 
2:30 – 4:00          Workshop: “The Pagan Origins of Mardi Gras: A Historical & Cultural Perspective” (Library)
Rev. Katherine Bonnabel, Sacred Well Ministries
Mardi Gras falls on February 25th this year. Have you ever wondered about the history behind the masks, beads, and the legendary debauchery? A native of New Orleans, Rev. Kathi will share a behind-the-scenes perspective on this popular seasonal festival. Laizzez Les Bon Temps Rouler!
 
3:00 – 4:30          Workshop: “Pagan in a Mundane World” (Blockhouse)
Lawrence Lerner, President, Puget Sound Pagan Pride
Part workshop, part roundtable discussions. Hear from multiple Pagans leaders who are "out and about" in the mundane world. Some thoughts of staying in and out of the broom closet, one foot in, or completely in. You'll hear from several leaders in the group who are members of the larger Pagan community as well as executives, teachers, and entrepreneurs in the mundane world.
 
4:00 – 5:00          Growing Up Pagan Class: “Knot Magick” (Kids' Room)
Magickal Miscreants
At this month's Growing Up Pagan we will be learning about and practicing knot magick.
 
4:00 – 5:00          Ritual: “Introduction and a Blót for the Coming of Spring” (Stone Circle)
Victoria (TAC North Pacific Ambassador), The Asatru Community, Inc.
Have you ever been curious how Ásatrúar holds blóts? Would you like to know what these terms mean? We will first run a quick presentation as an introduction to TAC as well as Ásatrú/Norse Paganism in general. We'll go over terms and the general inclusive outlook of TAC. We will then hold a Blót to honor the Gods/Goddess, the vættir, and the ancestors for the renewing of ourselves and our efforts as we welcome the coming of spring. We made it through the long winter and look to propel our efforts to the new year!
 
4:00 – 5:00          Workshop: “Thelema in Theory and Practice” (Library)
Jim, Horizon OTO
In this presentation, Jim will give an overview of the spiritual path of Thelema, including an account of its basic concepts and practices. Special emphasis will be on how these concept and practices are used in Ordo Templi Orientis.

5:00 – 6:00          Young Adult and Occult: “Herbal Practice” (Blockhouse)
Magickal Miscreants
At this month's Young Adult and Occult we will be continuing our offsite workshop from February 8th with a discussion group about the basics of herbal practice for health and magick.
 
5:00 – 6:00          Workshop: “Pagan Leadership & the Great Work” (Library)
Aquarian Tabernacle Church (ATC)
The path to leadership, the fun and frills as well as the down and dirty. What does one have to do to rise to leadership and stay there? What do leaders expect out of peers and how to work with other leaders? What do community members expect out of those who present themselves as leaders? What defines the role of High Priestess? How are covens structured and what are the jobs of the High Priest and High Priestess?
 
6:00 – 7:00          Brown-Bag Dinner (Living Room) & Eat and Greet (Library)
This is designated time to gather with others and eat your own brown-bag dinner. Bring your dinner to the Library for a casual networking session during dinner time to connect with others and build community. Reminders: Due to limited refrigerator space, please bring non-perishable food, or plan to store food in your own cooler in your vehicle.

7:00 – 8:00          Ritual: “Winter Gifts” (Stone Circle)

What to Bring:
Feel free to bring event or info flyers/pamphlets and set them out - there will be a space.
Food: Please bring your own brown-bag dinner. Due to extremely limited refrigerator space, if you need to keep your food cold, please plan to store in your own cooler kept in your own vehicles. But also feel free to bring non-perishable snack food or desserts to set out and share on the kitchen counter. If you can bring your own plate, cup, and utensils it will help with clean up (as all on-site tableware needs to be sanitized in the dishwasher before we can leave). 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). A towel can be rented from the Longhouse for $1.
Shoes cannot be worn inside, so please wear a pair that can be slipped easily on and off.
Some rituals will be outside, regardless of weather, so please bring layered clothing for colder/wetter weather if desired. 
Also, please note that, due to allergy and wildlife concerns, no pets are allowed on site (except service animals).

Registration:
Please check in at the front door when you arrive on-site. We ask all those who are able to make a money donation when they come to events (for Concentric Circles suggested donation for ages 13 and up is $15). 

A Note About Children:
This site features a swimming pool, hot tub, and many natural outside features that pose potential risks for unattended children; therefore, children younger than the age of 13 MUST be under adult supervision at ALL times during this event. With respect to the pool, an individual adult may be responsible FOR NO MORE THAN 3 CHILDREN (those under 13). Most events offer a kids' class or activity for younger kids and a Young Adult and Occult discussion group (ages 15-25). There are also some games and craft supplies available.

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 near the outdoor "Registration" booth if that space is open), loud motorcycle engines (again, please park near the outdoor "Registration" booth if possible), 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 10:00 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:
Parking availability at the Longhouse is limited – please carpool if at all possible. Park near the outdoor "Registration" booth or along the stretch of the driveway near the outdoor kitchen and stage areas. 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. There is no public transit option for the Longhouse, so if you are able to offer a ride or are looking for one, please feel free to post ride availability or requests to the OLOTEAS community email list or our Facebook group page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/oloteas/).

Directions:
Take 520 eastbound to the Redmond Way/Fall City (WA 202) Exit. Turn right at the light at the end of the off ramp. Go approximately 5 miles on Redmond-Fall City Road. Driveway is on the right, 23301 (directly across from Guardwell Storage). If you pass Albertson's, you have gone about 100 yards too far. When you first pull into the drive you should immediately see a large wooden sign that says The Longhouse; if you don’t you are in the neighbors’ drive.
