The Threads That Bind Us

Well, we'd like to thank you all for a spectacular Yuletide season!  It seems that our Yuletide events and our seasonal gifts discount brought people in from far and wide, and that's what we like to hear!  Please keep making your special orders; we take pride in trying to provide those unique items that you may not be able to get anywhere else!

In particular, we would like to thank the Lower Mainland Pagan community who turned out in droves and made our Yuletide Craft Fair such a smashing success!  I would especially like to thank Ian Sadler (Treewalker) for going to such efforts to book the venue and helping me with the door prize draw; Sam Wagar of the CWABC for helping with the draw and Pagan Pride fundraising; Pixie for regaling us with her lovely belly dance skills; Lisa Forryan for reading Tarot for us; and our wonderful merchants, Celdae, Sharleen Reid, Cheryl Price, Merina Mohr, and Charlotte Freeman for bringing us their wonderful works and for spreading the word amongst their friends!  Congratulations to all our door prize winners as well!

Already new merchants have asked to be part of the next one, and we all had so much fun that we're going to do it again in the spring!  Details will be announced in the next couple of weeks!

We're open our regular hours tomorrow and through the week until the 31st, when we will be closing at 3 pm, and then we will be closed through the weekend for inventory, reopening on Monday Jan. 3.  Tomorrow we'll be hosting our monthly Healing Exchange (all healers welcome!) and then on Wednesday we'll have our last recorded for DVD Practical Magick class, Introduction to Tarot Part 3.

Things will be a little lower key in January than they have been in December but there will still be all kinds of great events going on.  Practical Magick continues (now available by Skype to those who cannot attend in person - see our Webstore for more details at www.thethreadsthatbindus.net,) and our Paranormal Discussion Group resumes on alternate Wednesdays.  Witches' FAQ Night and the Healing Exchange will happen on their usual dates.  On Tuesday and Wednesdays from 11 am to 1 pm we will be featuring natural health practitioner Victoria Willard (best known for her work with Emotional Freedom Technique and Quantum Touch) for drop-in healing sessions, and on Thursdays 11 am to 2 pm Lois and I will continue to be available for drop-in readings or healing sessions.  Victoria will be teaching a workshop on Emotional Freedom Technique on Jan. 16 (registration required,) and Lois and I will be co-instructing a workshop on manifesting and enchanting your New Year's resolutions (details to be announced in the next couple of days, likely on the 9th or the 23rd!)  Then at the end of January on the 30th, we will have our next Mini-Metaphysical Fair!

February also promises to be exciting, with Suki Fox coming to teach her highly-successful Repatterning workshop with us, two SCA events planned in Kamloops and Peachland, and possibly an appearance at a wellness festival organized by Suki in Kamloops!

In the next couple of weeks, check our Calendar, as we intend to try to plan out much of our 2010 eventing season in advance and you will then know where we'll be and what we'll be up to.

Thanks for all your support and may you all have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Blessed be,

Sable
