I do know where I&#8217;m going to be, though.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, April 9, I&#8217;m in Garland, TX at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacredjourneyuu.org\/\">Sacred Journey Fellowship (Unitarian Universalist)<\/a>  giving my all-day workshop on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/i-can-be-had\/presentations-by-phaedra\/\">Propping Up the Magic<\/a><\/strong>, all about the use of magical tools. This is an in-depth look at how we integrate tools on the physical, mental and magical planes, and I&#8217;m really looking forward to it.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, April 10, I&#8217;ll be speaking at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sacredjourneyuu.org\/\">Sacred Journey Fellowship&#8217;s Sunday service<\/a> on another subject I know well, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/i-can-be-had\/presentations-by-phaedra\/\">Life and Times of Isaac Bonewits<\/a><\/strong>. Ever heard of that guy? <\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, April 12, you&#8217;ll find me in New Braunfels, TX at <a href=\"http:\/\/heimdallsbridgecommunity.weebly.com\/workshopsevents.html\">Heimdall&#8217;s Bridge<\/a> as guest of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sapaganalliance.com\/\">San Antonio Pagan Alliance<\/a>.

We&#8217;ll be looking at the symbolism of Major Arcana cards not for their divinatory meanings but from a psychological and spiritual perspective. In addition to discussion there&#8217;ll also be a moving meditation on the cards. (That&#8217;s moving as in moving around, although I hope it will also be &#8220;moving&#8221; in an emotional sense, too.)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll end the week Thursday through Sunday, April 14-17, at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.magickal-arts.org\/festivals-beltane.php\">Council of Magickal Arts&#8217;  Beltane 2011: Song of Spring<\/a>, where I&#8217;ll be presenting another favorite workshop of mine, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/neopagan.net\/blog\/i-can-be-had\/presentations-by-phaedra\/\">Ritual Participation Skills<\/a><\/strong>, plus leading the main ritual. I was up at five in the morning jotting down ritual ideas &#8212; it should be a good one!
