Happy 1st Anniversary Magickal Gatherings!

Magickal Gatherings was formed on July 2, 2008 with our first member joining on the 3rd. Since that day we've continued to grow with new members.

We want to take this time to say thank you to our wonderful members who have been so supportive and for inviting others to join our family.



A Note from Gentle Rains

Just a few updates on the site. First, I just wish to take a moment to welcome all our new members to our community. As our family continues to grow, I ask that all members to please take the time to welcome our newest additions.


~ ~Groups!

• Magickal Montages Group Is Back! It is now located at a new and separate site. There is no need to join the new site unless you plan to offer graphics for everyone to use freely. Any graphics left in the group comments section will be transferred over to the new site. Absolutely NO porn will be allowed!! Please be aware this is still a work in progress. I'm getting there slowly but surely.
  

Visit Magickal Montaqes

• Magickal Library has had quite a few new additions and many more to come. Come check out the library, maybe you’ll find the e-book or writing you have been looking for or find one that is new interesting. There are many different categories in the library…pagan, spiritual, animals, dreams, paranormal, adult fiction, kids section and more.

~ ~ Events!

New events have added to the site, check them out, maybe there is one located by you! If your town/city/state is having an event, please post it in the events or send me the details and I'll be sure to get it up for you.

Upcoming New MG Workshop Exclusive!





Hello to the family!

Coming in early August we will be offering a workshop on Candle Magick! Your Instructors for the workshop will be myself and Marie Mitchell. I would like to take this time to thank Marie for all the hard work and research she's done in helping to get this workshop off the ground. Did I mention Fun! This will be a very interesting and rewarding course for anyone interested in learning all about Candle Magick. Some of the things we will be studying are; history, color, herb and crystal correspondences, anointing and so on. Before you ask, yes there is homework involved! So as not to make ourselves crazy we will be limiting the course to 30 people. First come first served. If we find that this course is popular we will add an additional one after the first one is over. I will mass email the family a few days before we open for sign up, so be on the lookout for that message!

I also want to thank Gentle Rains for doing such an awesome job on the Magickal Montages site. She put in many long hours to transfer all the images that were collected over the past months. Thank you Gentle Rains!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer and for those who celebrate Lughnasadh have a happy and safe Sabbat!

Many blessings,
Christine
