Today Sunday, October 28, the Blessed Beavers will meet at Ardantane--and  
your help would be very welcome.
 
Come spend a day in the crisp autumn air and help us "batten down" for the  
winter. We'll be putting the last little bits of hardipanel on the Dome, and  
doing some "taping and glopping" of seams. We need to make a new cover for the  
Recycling bin, and cover Hawk Haven's air conditioner, and probably do some  
painting in the restroom. Some wall work is needed--yes, gathering and 
stacking  stones--and a bunch of other little projects. Time permitting, we might do 
some  insulating and drywalling inside the Dome.
 
Lunch, beverages, and happy fellowship provided, as well as Beaver Bucks.  
We'll be starting about 8 am and wrapping up about 3 or 4, but you can arrive  
and leave anytime. Contact _Director at ardantane.org_ 
(mailto:Director at ardantane.org)  if you need  directions. Hope to see you at  Ardantane!

Sabbat Celebration at  Ardantane 
Friday, December 21, 7pm  Yule Celebration lead by Inara and  Azrael 
)O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( )O( 
What:  Introduction  to Asatru: The Old Norse Path of  Spirit 
Sponsor:  School of Pagan  Spirituality 
When:  Sat-Sun Nov  3-4 
Where:  Ardantane 
 
Instructor: William  Bainbridge 

This class is designed to present  accurate information on the practice of 
the pre-Christian religious tradition of  the Germanic cultures and its 
continuation in modern times, provide an  opportunity to experience some of the more 
important ceremonies and practices of  contemporary Asatru, and suggest ideas 
and techniques connected with Germanic  spirituality that participants might 
find helpful in their own spiritual work,  whether or not that work happens 
within a Heathen setting.  Taking this class should enable students  to navigate 
knowedgeably and place in context what they might encounter in  discussions of 
Asatru at gatherings and on-line.  Some theoretical and practical work with  
the runes will be included. 
 
Equally important, however, we will spend significant  time exploring the 
ideas of Wyrd, Orlog (roughly, “personal destiny”), and Frith  (very roughly, “
right relationships”), as well as the symbology of the Wells,  the World Tree, 
and the Norns.  Taken together, these things provide both a basis for 
understanding the  core perceptions and world-view underlying many of the modern 
efforts to revive,  reconstruct and practice Asatru, and the means by which the 
indigenous Germanic  spiritual tradtion can effectively address the “big questions
” of ontology,  meaning, our relationship with the Earth, and how we might 
constructively live  and act in the world.  We expect to  approach these 
profound questions with humor, perspective, and of course,  mead.
