Mary's Dollar Store Plus of Richmond, (613) 838-9991 donated items for the kids crafts and Tony the Chipman - one of Richmond's finest citizens - did usual outstanding job on the food.

This was a Pagan Pride Day Event. We did it again at my place in Richmond at 3187 Eagleson Road. It was a lovely day last year - see below for the pictures and other information. New organizers this year.

Fiona sold Rainsticks and other items. Rainsticks are tubes running from 1 foot to 4 feet long, filled with beans or dried corn that make a wonderful rain noise when turned from end to end. They are very popular in South America where they use lengths of bamboo. They are painted with everything from nature sprites, dragons, mermaids, pentacles, butterflies and more. She will also be doing Face Painting, selling some really funky clothing and other fun stuff.

Willow did Reiki treatments. Sarah sold oils, incenses and other interesting items. Coleen did Mendhi - temporary henna tattoos. We had another clothing vendor from the Market area come - I just need the name!!!

I did some photography of the day and a few readings.

Pagan Owl was also a vendor that day. He sells Serongs and unique and original items created by friends such as Wiccan Meditation Wheels created by Mark of Carnac,and Rune Sets by Liz and Jeff. Pagan Owl carries some really beautiful candlesticks and mirrors. He was there to network about the Ottawa Pagan Conference (see below) as well.

Crystal Dawn very generously donated door prizes and items for the Silent Auction from their shop. The first was a lovely blue glass box with a gold dragon embossed on the top and the second is a LARGE hard cover book entitled "The Encyclopedia of Modern Witchcraft and Neo-Paganism by Shelley Rabinovitch (who teaches at the University of Ottawa) and James Lewis. The book will actually be used as a text next year!

The stage was busy as we had lots of musicians who wanted to jam and donated their musical talents for the day. Members of Dr. Huxtable - Dead Heads; Blue Grassy High and Jiva Ju - an atmosphere of sweet sounds and textures that take listeners on a trip from the 60's all the way to the future; Keep Yourself Good Company - who rely as much on experimental arrangements as they do on melody and rhythm; and Ferris Wheeler - not just your average jazzy, jammy, funky, country indie band ; all expressed considerable enthusiasm for the day's events Daisy Ella Mojo Crew - a unique combination of new school funk-pop beats with a sixties rock and roll feel; Butterflies and Zebras - their music features experimental use of feedback, distortion and unorthodox guitar technique in the style of the late Jimi Hendrix - just two guys on guitars and I have never seen anyone play a guitar like that; and The Tummies have also expressed interest in the day.

Aljee, who runs the jam nights at Cafe Dekcuf, is organizing a group called The JT's (Jammer Tuesdaze) and was our Emcee for the day. Rob Hammond-Vincent did an amazing job bringing all of these people together.

The program, entitled, "If I'm Creating My Reality, Why Am I Getting This?" features Philip Golabuk, international author and director of the Field Center, who presents an overview of the latest thinking on consciousness as the cause of our experience in the world. The Field approach goes far beyond the standard "visualize and affirm" techniques of most of the popular New Age literature on the subject.

Ottawa Pagan Pride Day 2002 - Saturday, September 14

This was an all time great event. Tarot Canada and my family hosted this event on my property outside of Richmond, Ontario.

If you are interested in being a vendor, doing a workshop or playing some music for future events, please let us know.

This event was about acceptance and the ambience of the day was just wonderful. We ended up with @ 120 people over the course of the afternoon and evening and the kids had a blast.

Dam Tuesdays

Pearl gave a Meditation workshop at 2:00 pm.

Some of our vendors for the day included Boutique Esoterique "Pierre de Lune", R & R Creations, Workday Kneads. Dave Belanger (489-DAVE) let us use his PA system - a wicked set up. Tony the Chip Man from Richmond and his lovely daughters did a great job on the hot food. Carleton Pumping Services of Richmond provided the Portable Toilets and waived the delivery fee. Robert E. Duncan Construction (the Framing Master of the Universe) did the site work and picked up the costs of the Portable Toilets and Doug brought 6 face cords of wood for the fire. Doug's contribution of wood is the equivalent of about $360 and well worth noting. It doesn't happen without the help, support and committment of good people. Nazareen represented Tarot Canada most graciously at the registration area. Susan Kopp gave massages all day for free.

Here is a list of kid's crafts that Julie and Rachelle did an amazing job on that day.

God's Eye (popsicle sticks and yarn) this is a kids Pagan craft

No liability was assumed. Spiritual people remember to thank those who help them along the way and learn not to wound with their tongues. Proceeds, all that was left here was the $120 Naz gave me before she left the gate, after expenses (I kept only $20 towards the hydro bill and we, meaning my family, swallowed the rest of our expenses on the day, approximately $420) were being donated to the The Mission and the Ottawa Food Bank. I sent a check for $100 to The Mission and received a lovely thank you call from Valerie. She was very appreciative of the support. I told her that I hoped next year we would do better. I also received a very nice thank you letter. The other organizers were supposed to be buying groceries with the money they took home with them and dropping the food off on Friday at the Ottawa Food Bank. Apparently they bought 125 cans of food with the rest of the money from the 80 paid admissions and vendors fees that they left with. They also made money on readings for the day. Please feel free to call both places and verify the donations.
