As a local circle, we've been making great strides in HIV/AIDS work, community building, alternative/queer media, and, let us not forget, a jolly good time.

&lt;br/&gt;JUSTIN BOND – Rites of Spring
&lt;br/&gt;&amp;amp; FAITH HELMA - Undine
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Justin Bond, star of John Cameron Mitchell's 'Shortbus', 2009 nominee for the GLAAD Awards and one half of Tony nominated performance duo Kiki and Herb, began writing songs while straddling a log on a mountain in Tennessee on Mayday of last year and has been touring with his band to wild acclaim and rapturous applause ever since. "Justin Bond Rites of Spring" is a celebration in story and song of rebirth, regeneration and just plain old fashioned spring fever -and you know what that means... Combining cabaret, witchcraft, a punk attitude and neo-folk glamour this show promises tears, glitter and a rollicking good time!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Opening the night, Hand2Mouth Company Member Faith Helma will be performing from her solo show UNDINE. Dubbed an “electro-sorceress of sound” by the Seattle Times, Helma’s performance is inspired by an obscure fairy-tale water nymph and the myth of the self-destructive rock star. Like Cat Power, Elliot Smith, Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain, Undine is a fierce, fragile being lost between night and the dawn of day.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;$15 - advance tickets strongly recommended here: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/59335

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;You're invited to a New Moon ritual in Portland this Friday, 8/29. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our intention is to invoke the Queer God/dess, the source and embodiment of our queer magic, and to ask for Its blessings on us and on the Queer Magic gathering (9/11-14, www.queermagic.org). (All are welcome; you don't have to be registered for the gathering or planning to attend.)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We'll meet at the entrance to Mt. Tabor Park (SE 60th and Salmon) at 7 p.m. Bring drums and snacks, and wear fabulous finery if you like. We'll process to the top of the mountain, and drum and sing in Spirit up there.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you can't join us in person but want to support this intention, here's a piece of spellwork that you can do:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Some time between Friday sunset and the New Moon (12:59 p.m. on Saturday, 8/30), charge some water with the spirit of the Queer God/dess. You might pray or chant over it, place it on top of a picture, write an invocation on the bottle, write on a rock and drop it in, etc. etc.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Keep that water on your altar until the next Full Moon. If you're coming to the gathering, bring it with you -- we'll use it in the opening circle on Thursday, 9/11. Otherwise, release it with thanks into running water on the Full Moon, September 15. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Love and Blessed Be!
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here are some excerpts from the Call:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What is queer magic?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Queer magic doesn't only happen on major Pagan holidays
&lt;br/&gt;and full moons.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's not just about driving hundreds of miles out to the woods
&lt;br/&gt;to drum in a circle wearing glitter and feather boas.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Queer magic is everything we do.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Touching a lover, digging a hole, making an altar, building a
&lt;br/&gt;website, tending the dying, dressing for dinner—anything we
&lt;br/&gt;do with our whole heart is queer magic.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Queer magic drips from our fingers. It's the music that plays
&lt;br/&gt;as we walk through the world. It's divine creativity coming
&lt;br/&gt;through and bursting into beauty all around us.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One way to find queer magic is to be told you're a freak—and
&lt;br/&gt;decide for yourself that's OK. In fact, it's fucking fabulous....
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;(Download the Call for more:  www.queermagic.org/files/Queer_Magic_Call.pdf)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Our Intentions
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; To practice, share, and celebrate our magic
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; To revel in our fabulous variety
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Queer Magic is a hands-on, do-it-yourself, collaborative experience.
&lt;br/&gt;It's a magical swap meet, a potluck potlatch for sacred practitioners.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Queer Magic is rooted in Radical Faerie traditions, and in the diverse
&lt;br/&gt;and beautiful Faerie clans of Portland, Wolf Creek, and Breitenbush.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Queer Magic is for queer-affiliated people of various orientations,
&lt;br/&gt;genders, ages, colors, shapes, traditions, and tribes.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's a chance to share a piece of whatever you are passionately into
&lt;br/&gt;with a circle of willing conspirators.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's also the seedbed for a community of practice called the
&lt;br/&gt;Cauldron—an ongoing working circle of magical collaborators.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Each person contributes their unique flavor to this gathering. We all
&lt;br/&gt;pull our weight. We take turns playing the roles of sacred leader and
&lt;br/&gt;collaborator and participant and student.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;What does your queer magic look like?
&lt;br/&gt;Heart circle
&lt;br/&gt;Skillshare
&lt;br/&gt;Workshop
&lt;br/&gt;Game
&lt;br/&gt;Procession &amp;amp; parade
&lt;br/&gt;Urban exploration
&lt;br/&gt;Nature walk
&lt;br/&gt;Meditation &amp;amp; prayer
&lt;br/&gt;Performance
&lt;br/&gt;Crafting circle
&lt;br/&gt;Mask &amp;amp; costume
&lt;br/&gt;Décor &amp;amp; altar-making
&lt;br/&gt;Art installation
&lt;br/&gt;Creating a meal
&lt;br/&gt;Ritual &amp;amp; spellwork
&lt;br/&gt;Sex magic
&lt;br/&gt;Play party
&lt;br/&gt;Healing circle
&lt;br/&gt;Dance
&lt;br/&gt;Drumming &amp;amp; chant
&lt;br/&gt;One-on-one healing
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; To step fully into our sacred Queer work
&lt;br/&gt;&gt; To bless our community and this city
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We are living on the cusp of change.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Old systems are breaking down. Yet new ways of thinking
&lt;br/&gt;and being are struggling to take root.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can we figure it out? Can we change in time? The sense
&lt;br/&gt;of urgency is growing. It's easy to feel overwhelmed and
&lt;br/&gt;hopeless, to retreat into our little queer enclaves and numb
&lt;br/&gt;ourselves with distractions.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;But there's big work for us to do. The communities that
&lt;br/&gt;we belong to need us and our queer magic—whether they
&lt;br/&gt;know it or not.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;To be alive and awake at this moment is an immense
&lt;br/&gt;responsibility, and a glorious gift.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We can help heal divisions within our own tribe and reach
&lt;br/&gt;out to our neighbors. We have the power to bless this
&lt;br/&gt;beautiful city with our queer magic.

&lt;br/&gt;I'm hoping to come down to the Cauldron this month, and was wondering if anyone else happens to be riding/driving down from the Vancouver area on Friday the 21st and back up on Monday the 24th.  If so, I'm happy to provide snacks, good cheer, glitter (metaphorical and/or literal) and assistance with the fuel costs.

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;QUEER MAGIC: THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;September 21-23, Portland Oregon
&lt;br/&gt;An Urban Gatherette
&lt;br/&gt;to Vision, Plan, and Organize
&lt;br/&gt;Queer Magic 2008
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON is the crucible of creation
&lt;br/&gt;where vision quickens and thickens into form...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;WE ARE Queer People of Spirit
&lt;br/&gt;of various sexes, genders, and orientations
&lt;br/&gt;who identify with the traditions and culture
&lt;br/&gt;of the Radical Faeries.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OUR VISION is 
&lt;br/&gt;a pangender urban gathering
&lt;br/&gt;called Queer Magic
&lt;br/&gt;in Portland Oregon in 2008
&lt;br/&gt;where Faeries and friends
&lt;br/&gt;can come together to share 
&lt;br/&gt;our various forms of magic
&lt;br/&gt;(which we define as everything we do
&lt;br/&gt;with passion and heart and awareness of Spirit).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;OUR INTENTIONS are
&lt;br/&gt;to revel in our fabulous variety
&lt;br/&gt;to practice, share, and celebrate our magic
&lt;br/&gt;to step more fully into our sacred Queer work
&lt;br/&gt;and to bless our community and this city.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;is an intimate gatherette
&lt;br/&gt;(space is limited!)
&lt;br/&gt;to vision, plan, and organize
&lt;br/&gt;a larger Queer Magic gathering
&lt;br/&gt;to take place in 2008.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;is an immersive container
&lt;br/&gt;where a posse of self-empowered instigators
&lt;br/&gt;can build trust, hang out, spark ideas
&lt;br/&gt;and get down to some serious play
&lt;br/&gt;this September 21-23 (that's soon!).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;will be held in a residential garden paradise
&lt;br/&gt;(the fabulous Chicken Ranch in North Portland)
&lt;br/&gt;where we will cook / dance / circle / chant / pray
&lt;br/&gt;laugh / plan / drum / dream / scheme together.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;like Queer Magic itself
&lt;br/&gt;is a co-created, DIY, hands-on experience
&lt;br/&gt;where Structure and Chaos make passionate love
&lt;br/&gt;in the back seat of a speeding convertible
&lt;br/&gt;with Spirit at the wheel
&lt;br/&gt;in a chiffon scarf and big sunglasses.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;will demonstrate that organizing
&lt;br/&gt;can also be organic and orgasmic
&lt;br/&gt;and the planning process
&lt;br/&gt;indistinguishable from the party.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;is a seedbed for an ongoing
&lt;br/&gt;community of magical practice
&lt;br/&gt;whose work is barely revealed
&lt;br/&gt;and whose potential is immeasurable.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;will culminate
&lt;br/&gt;in an Autumn Equinox event
&lt;br/&gt;for the whole community
&lt;br/&gt;on Sunday, September 24 (details to come).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;is not for tourists
&lt;br/&gt;or do-me queens
&lt;br/&gt;or scaredy-cats
&lt;br/&gt;or those with rigid expectations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;THE CAULDRON
&lt;br/&gt;is for community organizers
&lt;br/&gt;and other magical practitioners
&lt;br/&gt;at any level of experience
&lt;br/&gt;who share the vision for a Queer Magic gathering
&lt;br/&gt;and want to form a committed working circle
&lt;br/&gt;and an ongoing community of practice.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;J O I N    U S   !  !  !
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;LOGISTICS
&lt;br/&gt;The Cauldron begins Friday evening, September 21
&lt;br/&gt;and ends Sunday evening September 23.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can camp at the Chicken Ranch,
&lt;br/&gt;or you can sleep at home if you live in Portland,
