Blog For March 30th

Class news: Thank you for those who contributed to the Soul Matrix class essays, they are online at: www.thenorthernwinds.com/soulmatrix.html We will have a winner picked soon!
Also thanks again to Alan Schneider for his usual deep 'synergy' class, there was a lot to be said by everyone about the current state of confusion and breaking down in our personal lives and the economy. The meditation was excellent and hopefully gave some peace to those who attended. Our next scheduled class is Friday April 3rd at 6pm. Our Wicca / Witchcraft study group will have a guest speaker on braiding magic, the class is free and donations will gladly be accepted. Our class schedule for May is posted on the website at: www.thenorthernwinds.com , we have 8 classes scheduled including a Tai Chi meidtation series, Crystals, energy raising, mirror magic, symbols, Hindu Gods, creating lucky horse shoes, and Synergy. We have a few spaces left for the Rune workshop on April 18th, as well as Joye's magickal makeup class on April 22nd, come down to the store and reserve your spot!

Store news: We have lots of new bottles on the way, tiny to large, in various shapes and sizes, as well as 4 ounce spray bottle for making your own mists. They should be in sometime this week. Also we have a music order on the way from Sequioa records, due in this week as well. We will be restocking our Braja clothing early in April with new skirts, tops and dresses due in the middle of April.

Personal news: I want to give everyone who helped out the Wolfpack at our Ostara celebration, it was a great time and the kids seemed to have a blast dying bind rune eggs and hunting the prize eggs. A big thank you to Felicia from Nitefire creations for everything you did for us! Please send an email to thenorsewolfpack@yahoo.com if you would like to be placed on the invite list for future open events. Also thank you to Laura and Doug Darant for putting together a wonderful concert in Scottsdale as a thank you to all who sent positive energy to Doug when his health was low. Thank you also to Bob for putting together a sacred geometry class coming in the summer.
