along the edge of the new drip irrigation field. For those who prefer  
lighter duty, we need painting and other projects done as well. See you at the  
Blessed Beavers work parties! (Note all work parties start by 8:00 am and  usually 
conclude around 3 pm; but you can arrive anytime. Free food, drinks, and  
Beaver  Bucks!)



We'll  get started at 8:00 am (you can arrive later if you need to) and work 
as long as  feels good. Free cold beverages and lunch, and $35 in Beaver Bucks 
for those who  work 6 hours.

Ladder teams will be trimming and taping seams, and high  teams will be 
putting on the rubberized roofing compound and installing more  panels.

What:  Tarot  for the  Spirit 
Sponsor:  School of Magic  &  Witchcraft 
When:  Sat-Sun  October 6-7 
 
Where:  Ardantane 
Instructors: Starweaver  
 
This class is intended for  people who are already comfortable reading tarot 
for themselves or others, and  would like to go deeper into the symbolism of 
the cards.
The class explores  tarot as a spiritual/psychological system, using concepts 
from the Renaissance,  Occult, and Modern periods of tarot interpretation. 
The relationship of the  tarot to qabalah and astrology is explored in depth. 
The major arcana, court  cards, and number cards are each studied in detail, as 
subsystems of the tarot.  A range of experiential exercises make connections 
between the symbolic content  of the cards and one's personal, intuitive 
responses.
Learn to tap the  potential of the tarot as a multi-purpose spiritual tool, 
and enrich your  divination practice.
