need emergency crash space

I have a friend who is in dire straits at the moment.

She has nowhere to live, no money, and the couch she's been surfing on is giving her the boot any day now. She is also pregnant.

She is terrified of going to a shelter (and even if she did, they don't allow her cat, and apparently they're all full anyway).

She is desperately looking for crash space for her, her boyfriend, and 1 cat asap. She can contribute via domestic chores.

I don't know how long she would need this crash space.

If anyone can help her, please let me know.

Even better, if anyone knows of any programs or assistance that could help in this situation, please shout out. I have no idea where to send her for help.

oh boy.

do we even respond to this kind of crap?

based on the little research i have done, Kerr Cuhulain was a police officer. i find it rather discomforting that someone will choose a peaceful religious path along with a profession that may require him to kill. i'm not quite sure what to make of that.

For the most part, the majority of the replies all support the warrior path and respect Kerr as a wiccan author. But I felt a need to speak up, so I simply posted the link to Scathach's website.

Any thoughts?

Toymaking Workshop

There was some talk in that red-coloured kitchen at the Motherhouse a while back. Yes, THAT kind of talk.

I had attended a hands-on workshop in the local kink community on making rubber floggers, and paid attention well enough that I could teach the workshop myself now. Also, between my handyman boyfriend and myself, we've figured out a few other homemade toys that we easily and cheaply made at home instead of venturing forth to expensive shops.

And while it is not a Scathach-related activity, it would appear that the pagan community and the kink community are some of the non-mainstream communities that tend to have overlapping members, and some interest was shown.

So now that the weather is warmer, I will be hosting a workshop at my house on how to make your own adult toys. It's cheap and easy and loads of fun!

Any suggestions on the date? I'm thinking it would take the better part of 1 day, so if we have it on both days of a weekend, people can attend either day depending on their schedule.

Date Suggestions:
May 23/24
June 13/14
June 27/28
July 18/19
July 25/26
August 8/9
August 29/30

Seattle Armouring - carpool

I am going to Seattle on Sunday.

I have room for 5 people in my PaganWagon. So far I have:

1 Geri
2 Kerry
3
4
5

Does anyone else need a ride? Chris & Lisa? Mike & Sara? Bueller?

In order to make it to Seattle by noon, I would be leaving my house before 8:00 a.m. Please arrange to arrive at my house at 7:30 so we can load up our gear (and have time to grab a coffee for the drive).

I will pick up Kerry in Surrey on the way to the border. So expect me to arrive around 8 or 8:15ish.

6765 Lakeview Avenue
parking in the cul-de-sac or in my driveway

(604) 760-1944

P.S. Bring CDs if you want something in particular played (i.e. Great Big Sea)

As many of you may already know, I have chosen (I mean, it has chosen me) to dedicate myself to mastering Earth (stone/shield).

Earth's Law is "to be silent".

Yesterday I lost my voice.

*sigh*

Thank you for assigning me the least-speaking role for the Seattle ritual. ;-)
