Welcome!  The staff of Our Lady of the Earth and Sky are so, so glad you have joined us here this weekend, for this version of the Earth and Sky Pagan Camp-In. While we had hoped the COVID19 danger would have passed by now and that we could gather in person, we are grateful for the willingness of so many presenters and ritualists to stretch themselves and create virtual rituals and online workshops, and also for the time and talents of the volunteers who helped to build our event website to try and capture some of the elements of what goes on at the ESP Camp-Out in person.

Our hope is to keep our community strong, even while we are physically apart. This time is a new experience for all of us, and this way of offering a festival is new for us as well. We would truly love to know your thoughts and feedback, your experience as participants in this year's ESP Camp-In. While we hope very much to safely return to an in-person experience next year, we will certainly be offering our monthly events online for the foreseeable future, and your input can help us make those events more meaningful. 

Please leave a comment and let us know how the ESP Camp-In is going for you.

Thank you again for being here!

Please join us as we explore the concept of a magical knitting circle. What does that mean? How does one go about this? Should we be mixing knitting and magic? Knitting and crochet and all skill levels welcome. If you have any books or resources to share – gather them to show!

3:00pm – 3:55pm Online Discussion Group: Young Adult & Occult
Young Adult & Occult is a space for Pagans in their late teens and early twenties (roughly 15-25) to build community and learn together that is held monthly at OLOTEAS events (and sometimes offsite). For this month's Young Adult & Occult: We will learn about cleansing and purification techniques.

4:00pm – 4:55pm Kids' Workshop/Activity: Growing Up Pagan: Spring Birds (with the Magickal Miscreants)
This is a series of classes about what it means to grow up Pagan – taught by Pagan kids, for Pagan kids. We are all young adults who grew up in Pagan families, and these classes draw on our personal experiences of what we wish we had known growing up and the kids’ own questions about what it means to be Pagan. At this month's Growing Up Pagan: We will be talking about spring birds. Please have paper and coloring supplies on hand for a craft project.
 Also see the GROWING UP PAGAN lesson plans and activity outlines available on our website now.

4:00pm – 5:25pm Online Workshop: Magickal Regimens (with Bobby)
Tailoring a personal daily training plan to strengthen your magickal abilities in Body, Mind, and Spirit, during quarantine and beyond.

5:30pm – 6:00pm Online Ritual: A Ritual for the Community, to Work Energy Toward Our Will (with Stephanie)
We will raise energy together towards the wishes you have for the world, the community, and yourselves at this time. All energy raised will be for the good of all and harming none. If you have a request for the ritual, you can submit it on this public Google doc (instructions in document), or send a message to oloteas (at) oloteas.org, or send a message to the OLOTEAS Pastor account on Facebook.
If you have them easily available and can use them safely in your space, please have a small bowl or cup of salt water and prepare a candle to light (flame or LED) for the ritual.

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.
