“True Power is within, and it is available to you now.” Ekhart Tolle ~ The Power of Now

With this passing full moon in Taurus,

“We are reminded to fall back in love with our bodies, with the Mother, and with rhythm.” …

”This is a perfect opportunity to review how we access, utilize and seek to gain resources for ourselves, both inner and outer, and to pay attention to the ways we may spend countless hours in hot pursuit of the outer, while forgetting the true resource born from the inside out.”

Excerpt from the moon magic articles written by Shakti Sunfire.

Nurture the Self

If there is one thing we learned over the past month about growing our business, it’s that we needed to start with the root. The root being ourselves, because essentially as creators our business is an extension of ourselves. Only when we take the time to nurture the self into its full potential power, can our business really blossom. Therefore, we have been taking this recent time to turn within and practice self care and self love on a daily basis.

As a result, we can grow our business to be stronger and in full integrity to who we are and what we offer. Even if you are not an entrepreneur, we believe it is important for everyone to take time for themselves, and essentially step into their highest self or ultimate power.

The truth is, we all have people who need us out there. Everyone's mission is really just to help someone else fulfill theirs in one way or another. For instance, we help event planners completely break the mold of what's expected, through performances that instill a true sense of wonder and magick in their guests.

Who do you help?

In this line of business we literally sell ourselves, and if we are not our best selves, if we are not in the highest integrity at all times, we cannot sell confidently and effectively. When we shifted to this perspective of selling ourselves in the name of helping others, we were suddenly free from guilt and marketing became easier.

Ultimately, to show yourself love and care on the regular, you will find that you are able to be more present and available to those who you serve. You'll find peace and happiness in your everyday life, because you will be living true to you.

Chase happiness, because you deserve it. Don't ever settle.

We’d love to share some of habits we have adopted over the past two months that you can too, and resources to help you live a more magickal life….

Remember…

“Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” –Roald Dahl

Resources to Find Your Power

Practice Gratitude.

One day while on one of his regular thrift shop explorations, FloFox came across not one, but two copies of a book called, “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne. Perfect! Of course he bought them both and immediately gifted one copy to Isis. They then started on a 28 day guided journey via the book to practice their gratitude. Amidst the journey, many realizations were made….

“Whoever has gratitude will be given more, and he or she will have an abundance. Whoever does not have gratitude, even what he or she has will be taken from him or her.”

It’s Universal Law.

“Gratitude operates through a Universal law that governs your whole life. According to the law of attraction, which governs all the energy in our Universe, from the formation of an atom to the movement of the planets, “like attracts like.” It’s because of the law of attraction that the cells of every living creature are held together, as well as the substance of every material object. In your life, the law operates on your thoughts and feelings, because they are energy too, and so whatever you think, whatever you feel, you attract to you.”

Excerpt from the book, “The Magic” by Rhonda Byrne

Taking time throughout the day to notice all of the wonderful people, things, and experiences you already have right now is a very powerful tool. Most of us don’t realize all of the greatness in our lives because we are always striving for more. It’s okay to want more of course, but if we don’t appreciate what we already have we will never get more of what we want. It’s hard to be unhappy if you literally wake up every morning and count your blessings.

Do Yoga.

Any enjoyable exercise will do, but Yoga is quite profound. It’s important to be active to maintain a healthy body, and adopting a regular practice is a way of committing to yourself and your wellbeing. We have found that yoga has helped us gain strength, flexibility, and focus, providing the perfect balance to our flow arts practice.

So find a local class, a friend who can help teach you, a book, or a DVD. We have found DVD's to be very effective. The extra guidance and motivation you get from an instructor is really valuable until you are disciplined and knowledgeable enough to practice on your own.

The DVD Isis has been practicing with is;
Element: the mind & body experience; Yoga for Strength and Flexibility

Meditate.

You are not your body.
You are not even your mind.

While visiting out dear friend Claire De Luxe in New York City recently, she gifted each of us a very special DVD that would help us in our new meditation practice. This DVD guides you on a simple and powerful meditation for clarity, health, and joy. It is called, “Isha Kriya.” If practiced on a daily basis for only about 15 minutes, you will start to notice a shift in consciousness, an awakening of sorts. By creating a distinct separation between the body, the mind, and the true self, spirit, essence, being, whatever you like to call it, you can then have more control over your life and essentially come into your power. Seek it, and try it here: www.IshaKriya.com

Live Now.

Most recently, Isis was gifted another book by her lovely friend Izabelle Dean of Pixie Tails called, “The Power of Now” by, Eckhart Tolle. This book is incredibly profound. This book helped us understand the Isha Kriya meditation practice and its divine purpose. This book is a MUST READ for everyone!

Almost all of us are slaves of the mind and don’t realize it. We identify with it and therefore truly believe it is the self. In reality, it is just a false mind made self. It lives only in the past and the future, never the now. There is a true power to being able to turn off your mind, your thinker, and simply be. That is precisely what this book helps you do. When paired with this meditation practice, it is truly magickal. These excerpts from the book give you a sneak peek at this valuable information…

“Identification with your mind causes thought to become compulsive. Not to be able to stop thinking is a dreadful affliction, but we don’t realize this because almost everyone is suffering from it, so it is considered normal. This incessant mental noise prevents you from finding that realm of inner stillness that is inseparable from Being. It also creates a false mind-made self that casts a shadow of fear and suffering.”

“The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter --- beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace --- arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.”

“Have you ever experienced, done, thought, or felt anything outside the Now? Do you think you ever will? Is it possible for anything to happen or be outside the Now? The answer is obvious, is it not?”

“Nothing ever happened in the past; it happened in the Now.”

“Nothing will ever happen in the future; it will happen in the Now.”

“Life is Now.”

Intrigued? Get the book. NOW!

Invest in Yourself.

We also learned recently that in order to grow, to level up, you must invest in yourself. There are many levels of self investment. You can think of adopting these said practices as an investment in yourself, they are in investment of your time and energy. You can also invest in yourself through material means. In our case, we did this by ordering new high quality costumes, and the newest props to perform with. This is part of staying in integrity with yourself. If we leveled up our skills but never got new costumes or props to match our level, it would be out of balance. Essentially, yes. You do need to spend money to make money, and that’s okay. Just spend wisely.

Another way to invest in yourself and your business is to find support, valuable support through a coaching program, or personal mentor. We don’t have all the answers ourselves, and sometimes it can be of great worth to let someone else help you, someone with an unbiased perspective and a wealth of knowledge of their own.

Our guiding light was none other than Jacqui Becker.

Her MeanBusiness, Play Your Passion Into Profit program opened up to us at precisely the right time. This program is the brain child of Jacqui and Shakti Sunfire, it is specifically geared towards helping passion powered entrepreneurs, artists, healers, teachers, and performers, grow their business and pull in real profit. It is an extraordinary program and we highly recommend it.

Isis was able through magick of course, to attend Jacqui’s very first P2P Live event in NYC recently. Being part of this group of 15 incredibly passionate individuals, led by Jacqui and her amazing healer friend Lauren Rock, was absolutely extraordinary. The transformation that happened in those 3 days on both the inside and the outside of every one of us was profound. Most importantly it is a lasting interconnected support group that exists to empower and motivate each member.

If you are feeling stuck, alone in your business, or just in need of some motivation the the right direction, check out what Jacqui has to offer. Get in touch.

Take this time, use these resources. Step into your power.

Super Support System! @ P2P Live.

What's Next For Us?

We are turning inward in many ways now. With winter approaching here in the North Country of New York, we are currently seeking indoor space to host classes in the flow arts.

While juggling our thoughts together under the super full moon this week, we pondered ways to better serve you and the rest of our community. We recognized how good it feels to give to others and nourish this beautiful tribe we are all a part of, to help it grow…but how?...Usually we don’t worry too much about the how per say, but more the who, why, and the what. The how tends to just reveal itself to us along the way…

Under this bright shining moon it did just that. We decided right then to start offering you more valuable information that will educate you, motivate you, and inspire you, why?...because we appreciate you, and we think it’s important for you to believe in the true magick that life has to offer!...and well, we can all use some nuggets of inspiration from time to time…From this point on, you can look forward to a monthly full moon blog; packed with stories, valuable tips, tricks, and tutorials!

So, let us rewind to spring time…we have a lot of catching up to do. This blog is about reflection, taking time to realize where we’ve been, where we are right now, and where we wish to go…and we suggest you do the same. Here is the story of our season and the ways it has brought us to where we are now. Our hope is that it inspires you in some way…We know it’s been a while since we’ve given you a reason to stop by. Mostly because we’ve been neglecting this cyber space and spending more time out in that real space…with you guys! Now that winter is approaching, we’ll probably want to hang out here more often, so let’s inspire each other to manifest our dreams!

Springtime Adventures: Reconnecting with the Community...

Spring is always so refreshing, when the best season for fire dancing is visible on the horizon and you just know how wonderfully busy you are about to be. Then suddenly you find yourself here like; oh shit that flew by, once again, and you actually kind of welcome that sweet decompression time…but in those first days of spring, we are pumped to do anything and everything, and travel anywhere to reconnect with community. Feeling starved of joyous jam sessions and skill shares. Coming from the middle of nowhere (literally) in northern NY, it’s hard to get that fix, especially through the winter. That longing itself led us on all of our adventures….

We visited multiple retreats around the north east beginning with Wombat (winter object manipulation bootcamp at Tufts) in Boston. This three day event featured lots of awesome workshops and a nice big burn field at night. Even though it was still a bit chilly, we heat up the nights with some huge fire balls! This retreat also wins the smallest stage title for the performance showcase, and we still have no idea how we actually pulled off our act! We were lucky enough to get to share sleepy space with the amazing Liz Knights and Dave Statik. Not only was it sweet for them to welcome us in their home, but we also got to share it with a beautiful soul Cael, and awesome Aussies Tim Goddard and Lou Myers! What better a weekend for all of these shenanigans than April 20th.

Onward we travelled to Vassar College in New York for the Monkey See Monkey Do juggling convention. (notice the trend of animal names, us flow artists are fond of our fellow animal spirits ;) Not only did this retreat spark a new determination within us to learn juggling, but we forged some real relationships here, and performed alongside some absolutely incredible talent in the showcase. Justin, Christina, and the rest of the Monkeys proved to be great hosts. Staying with them was a highlight of the spring, hanging out with all of the talented and silly circus folk was a genuine good time… especially that night we were all entertained for 2 hours straight by Jonathan Alvarez, four illuminated pod poi, no music, but plenty of sound effects!

Our next stop was WildFire Retreat in CT. This one holds a special place in our heart since it was what really sparked our interest in the fire arts and helped us pursue our dream of becoming professional fire dancers. We always try to go at least once or twice a year. This round was great! We performed a kick-ass Maleficent and Dragon routine, set up the Fire Magick Emporium booth, debuted our new mini hoops tech class, and had a lot of fun just hanging with our fellow freaks.

Only two days after WildFire we flew with all of our gear over snow capped mountains, and desert to reach California for Fire Drums! We were so kindly scooped up from the airport by Aileen Lawlor and Brecken Rivera and dropped off in the heart of San Francisco to enjoy our first day there. That city felt in perfect balance and the things we discovered there were awesome! From the fully decorated artistic alleyways, to the playgrounds, unique shops, and the best burritos we’ve ever had in our lives, we loved exploring. Then we got to gratefully spend time at the Vulcan. This place was extremely cool; full of artists of all kinds living in huge lofts, interconnected by intriguing hallways and garden courtyards. Visiting the many flow art lofts where DJ’s play and people practice all day was inspiring! The hospitality we were shown here from Noel Yee, and many others was very appreciated. The Vulcan is just one of those places you must check out as a dedicated flow artist, so much valuable creation and inspiration floods out of these walls constantly…it was nice to dwell within them.

Soon enough it was time to road trip up the coast of Cali to the secluded Redwood forest with Breken and Tiana Zoumer. We took our time, winding through beautiful country side, filled with anticipation as we felt ourselves getting closer to this place of true magick. Seriously though, the most magickal retreat we have been to, hands down. This experience is a must for any aspiring flow artist. The environment itself simply brought us to another state of being. Nestled in the depths of the forest made of the largest trees we have ever seen, with zero phone reception or connection to anything outside of our passion and those who share it. Everything about this place just felt “heady as fuck.”…we must have uttered those exact words at least 20 times throughout the weekend. From the food to the music, to the classes, to the vendors, to the performance showcase, to the burn field, ohh the glorious burn field!!...Around every corner and in every person was a sense of pure magick. Being able to teach and perform there was amazing and we felt deep gratitude. The best part was the burn field, it was incredible! Imagine 50 + fire dancers in one space artfully weaving a huge variety of props around each other, sharing space with such precision, balance, and beauty. All the dancers guided by enlightening music that played past dawn, and drums beat upon with mallets of fire. This was the most tribal and primal experience we have had so far. The people here were truly burning for no one but themselves, for nothing but the energy of it all, for nothing but the pure joy it evokes, and it made us fall in love with fire all over again.

Niagara Falls: Flow with Power...

When we returned from California it was time to switch gears into work mode. This summer we worked every weekend at the Seneca Niagara Casino in Niagara Falls, NY. We put on fire and LED shows all weekend upon this landscaped concrete bridge leading to the biggest casino on the US side. We worked alongside great people including Joe the Cyr Wheel man, and gained some loyal fans of all ages! It was awesome to be able to visit one of the most magnificent waterfalls in the world every single weekend this summer, and even one smaller but special eternal flame waterfall. We had enough time there to actually explore and find the little nooks and vantage points to really appreciate the falls on another level. If you ever visit, be sure to go down to the Cave of the Winds and stand right in the power of this incredible wonder of Nature. Although there seems to be more attractions on the Canadian side, we realized that the US side really displays the most natural beauty and opportunities to get closer to the falls themselves. From our hotel, Canada was just a 20 minute walk. We went over a few times after midnight to check it out and found it to be like a twisted after hours Disney Land. There was a weird mix of sugar buzzed children and wasted 19 year olds running around the highly decorated and flashy streets. Haunted houses, mini golf, wax museums, all the things lined the streets, and of course over priced shitty food. It’s an experience, something to see for sure.

Return to Roots Gathering: Travel Full Circle...

In between our constant gigs, we took a few weekends off to submerge in the community again. We were really excited to teach and perform at Return to Roots Retreat in Pennsylvania, hosted by Meagan Ruppert and her talented team. There we reunited with many friends and made new ones. It was a great weekend of community, flow, learning, and burning. Some of the highlights of this weekend were the effigy burn and the powerful performance by Claire De Luxe and her troupe “Enchanted” complete with thunder and lightning, perfectly timed throughout the show! They literally summoned a huge storm that cancelled the remainder of the show including our performance. We didn’t even mind, because witnessing that magickal show was such a great experience itself… The effigy burn involved all of the fire dancers burning around this wooden lotus flower sculpture that was lit as our flames died out. It was rigged with all sorts of fireworks that set off in a consecutive order when lit. It burnt beautifully and opened up as if it were blooming at a precise moment in the burn. This was another very primal moment of the summer. After the spectacle was through and there was nothing but a giant bonfire left, all the people marched and danced around it in pure joy. This joy is what runs through the veins of the fire and flow arts community, it is evident at all of these gatherings and it is powerful! We are so grateful to be part of something so grand and genuine.

Live Free Fest - Our Fiery Festival of the Arts...

Only a week after Return to Roots, we found ourselves hosting our own event in Northern NY. Live Free Fest is the collaborative event that Isis hosts with her husband Jason on their land. This was the 6th year and it really felt like it came together in a balanced and beautiful way. This event is unique in its merging of two communities who both create with fire; fire dancers and glass blowers. Put them together, with great music and atmosphere and magick happens. This year attracted the most flow artists and glassblowers yet, and we put on our first full stage show featuring the flow arts. We were lucky enough to have such talent as Lux Luminous, Kevin Gao, Circus Dynamics, Ravenbanes FireCraft, and many more amazing performers. Live Free Fest is a time for Isis and Jason to merge their passions and communities to create a really special event that has incredible vibes of freedom and inspiration. They have been growing the venue for years and often dream about the various possibilities for more retreats there in the future. Nestled within 50,000 acres of forest upon the Tug Hill Plateau, the 46 acre piece of land is really gorgeous and has so much potential! Each year Live Free Fest is growing into the fantastically unique Fiery Festival of the Arts that brings people together to cherish the power of fire and all of the ways we can create with it!

Full Throttle Event: Jammin with Jackyl

As fall approached we had our first gig under a newly formed company called “The Troupe Entertainment.” It was quite interesting and put us a little out of our element. It was the first time we had performed for a biker crowd at a rock and roll show, with headliner Jackyl. Performing fire upon a makeshift hay wagon stage in broad daylight was not quite ideal, but we rocked it and sent out the badass energy that these people crave. We were not used to dancing to rock music and had no control over what was played, it was yet another test of our adaptability. This was also our first gig with our friend Vita Puma, playing the character of Grinder Girl! We did get to do one set in the dark so she could spray sparks all over the crowd as Jesse James played the chainsaw like an instrument. This was definitely a memorable gig. That’s the exciting part of our job, we never really know what to expect and we always have to go with the flow ;)

In late September came our last community retreat for the season, Fall WildFire. Back to the homeland we went but this time with a different group of old friends and new friends, and those who we inspired to join us there for their first time. We had an awesome time, and our classes went very well. The best part of this event for us (besides the plentiful and yummy meals) was the performance we debuted. The theme for this showcase was superheros, so we decided to do a hip hop style superhero routine involving highly technical partner fire fan work. We created this whole routine and practiced it in only a few sessions within a two week period. It was seriously miraculous that we pulled it off. We are excited about exploring more with partner fans, the possibilities are endless!!

Now here we are in October, the spookiest month of the year. We love being creepy and do it really well. We have decided to morph into our own versions of Jack and Sally of the Nightmare Before Christmas for the month. We are performing at the new Terror at the Track Spooktacular on the weekends at the Evans Mills Speedway. We are also open for Halloween weekend to perform at parties and other events. We cant wait to see what unfolds!

Through the winter we will be releasing monthly blogs that offer you valuable information, awesome pictures and stories! We will be growing our Emporium, crafting more magickal items for all of you, and growing the local community so it can explode in a weekly flow jam at the Thompson Park Pavilion next season. We would love to create a jam where we can burn and help others learn in the local area. World Hoop Day this past weekend inspired us to do this for you guys, we are so glad to see the community grow locally and beyond! Thanks so much for reflecting with us on our season, now lets hibernate a bit and nurture all the things through the winter so that we can grow together. Wishing you all much love and magick…until the next time the moon becomes a full circle.

]]><![CDATA[The Spirit of Gratitude]]>Fri, 18 Oct 2013 05:39:23 GMThttps://www.firemagick.org/blog/the-spirit-of-gratitude

*The spirit of gratitude danced with Fire Magick this moon. We are thankful for all of the wonderful blessings we have experienced!
*First off, we want to give a shout out to our fire parents Solar Flare and Margo. Every great fire does not only begin with a spark to ignite it, but develops an ember to sustain it. Our fire family was there from the beginning of our career... They have nurtured and helped sustain our blazing fire. They showed us how you can perform fire professionally and safely. Most importantly they showed us its possible to do what we love! They have also helped us with ego death and to recognize our place within the fire world..."Don’t let your head get too big, your still green," words of advice they still give us, helping to maintain modesty and an ego-free complex. Love through fire, love through family, together as one, you can be a conflagration of change.
*This moon began with an enchanting trip to the otherworld known as *Canada*. Traveling through the veil was quite the journey. The guardians of the realm were understanding of all the mystical weapons and combustible dragons piss and Unicorn blood we had in the back seat. The theme of this show was *The Children of Pele* We got our island tribal magick on! The night flowed like the volcano in which Pele resides. Tribal drums played, summoning forth our primal spirit, powering our dance to reach new levels! After our show, we headed into the local club in a village called Kingston. We danced and grooved the night away upon platforms alongside the DJ that seemed to be made for us. To celebrate the night we had a delectable entrée the locals call *poutine* It tastes a lot like ogre, but we weren't sure if they were native to this land. The shop keep would not confirm our suspection...
*Our next travels landed us in a mystical place called Saratoga Springs. This was one of our most challenging shows yet. We performed to NO music. Only the spoken spells (poetry) woven by the artist Brian Dorn. This was indoors, they put an anti-fire ward enchantment on the place, so we had to use our light fairy magick props that have a bright luminescent glow. Our bodies were taken over by the words spoken by this wizard, bringing flow arts to a new artistic level. To celebrate this performance, we wandered through the town with old friends, and were magickally drawn to the perfect place; The Circus Cafe!

*The Last of our journeys has a bit of humor in it, but shows our diversity and commitment to our art. Friday night we headed to the bewitching Club Lava at turning stone casino. The theme of the weekend : Egyptian GOLD. There was an aerialist and trapeze artist, dressed as a pharaoh, Go-Go dancers that would make Cleopatra jealous, and an amazing and inspiring pole dancer called Storm. We had 4 costume changes throughout the night. Gold flakes adorned our face and added to the magick in the air. All of our sets were MAGICKAL to the extreme! First of all, it was a full moon. Second, it was the autumnal equinox. Third, our sets were summoning Egyptian gods and goddesses! Iso summoned FloFox as the god of chaos. Next, FloFox summoned Iso as Isis- Mother Goddess. Power surged through us, as the club cheered, the fire roared, and the bass dropped! It was quite the performance. After the Club closed we had to hurry to bed (after nom noms of coarse) around 5am we finally get to sleep. We have to then wake up at 9am to hurry and drive an hour to do the Cream Cheese Festival at 11am. This is a big festival for the local tri county area. Lowville made the worlds LARGEST cheesecake, breaking the world record!!! Even the Cake Boss himself was there to witness it! We did DAY fire and then roamed about with our hoops….in the rain. after this show we had to scurry back to the casino, getting there around 5 o'clock. We went to relax in the hot tub and sauna to unwind from shows and get ready for another that night. Around 6:30 we went to take a quick nap and then had to be up at 730 to run to the dressing room and get gold flaked and prepped for the big show that night. Same show as the night before, but we tweaked it to keep it fresh. Another great night, lots of laughs, lots of dancing, and full of Magick. The transition of going from sexy club performer, to kid friendly goofy performer was quite amusing. It helps us to see how diverse and adaptable we really are.
* All of your dreams can come into fruition if you believe in them. Show gratitude for what you do have everyday. Don’t cast out your fruit tree because it doesn't grow the biggest fruit. Tend to it, love it, show thank fullness for what you do have. You’ll attract more then you think. Believe it, to receive it. The secret is;
Thoughts become things....
*Experience the FIRE, Feel the MAGICK

A day early?...or right on time?...

Last weekend we traveled to my home state of Connecticut for a gig at CT College in New London. After showing up a day early accidentally (we did recently vow to never be late again after all ;)...we found ourselves spontaneously sharing the evening with fellow fire dancers Lady Blaze and Joe Janiki!...They welcomed us into their cozy and inspirational home with utmost hospitality. We burned the night away, sharing skills and creative ideas in a perfectly suiting backyard oasis in downtown New Haven.

Iso on the Mystic River

...I wonder if this thing still works?..

Iso's perfect hat

A town called Mystic
that doesn't actually exist...
(its true look it up!)

To top off our trip on Sunday, we decided to head over to the quaint little seaside town of Mystic. The name alone was an attraction to the Fox, and it was quite nostalgic for myself having visited there as a child. Swindling down streets with hoops in hand, breathing the thick salty air, we stumbled upon some treasures. The first stop was an old garage sale, where we happened to find a handmade hoop (of course we didn't need such a thing, for we had 30 of them in the truck...but its always good to see them around)...next stop, Mystical toys!...which turned out to not be what we had hoped, but none the less fun thanks to the discovery of some super awesome puppets! My favorite was the ostrich....She was mighty good at hooping (check out the video to see for yourself). Further more, we followed our path to an old antique and consignment shop where Fox scored a fabulous yellow vintage shirt. It came from London during the 70's and is embroidered with what Fox likes to call "Hypogryphs". (I think they are long-neck cats) The shop keeper there was very knowledgeable but seemingly always anxious about things breaking in her shop and saw us as huge potential breakers of things....since we were carrying hoops. Little did she know our impeccable spacial awareness levels ;-)...Despite her obvious worry, she was very kind..........................>

Thanks for checking out our blog! We hope you have a magickal day!
Love * Iso

Fox breathing fire in New Haven

LB and Joe

College gigs rule!!...

The following day held quality family time for myself since CT is my home state after all, while Fox enjoyed some quality play time with LB and Joe...Later that night it was time for our first college gig. We weren't sure what to expect but quickly remembered just what college is all about, and realized it was all a big party! To gain an audience we lit large torches and frolicked through campus yelling about the exciting fire show we would put on, with a few added howls and yips...our freaky characters emerged as we moved swiftly through the night, gathering a trail of eager followers. We felt very in character and magickal through the whole show, beginning with an intriguing introduction, we were able to keep the audeince enthralled for the entire 45 minutes! By suggestion of Elizabeth Knights (fellow magick maker and fire bender) when we needed a break, we involved the students in a sexy hooping contest...3 guys and 3 girls showed off their skills with hoops to the silly song "Im Sexy and I Know it"...needless to say it was hilarious and everyone was pumped! Some of them were actually pretty incredible! At the end with a vote from the audience we chose a winner from each side and let them take home their very own handmade dance hoop...hopefully they were inspired and the joy of hooping and the flow arts could potentially impact their lives, or even lead to a school club!...The show continued smoothly, and everyone was amazed as we wallowed in the cloud of satisfaction. Afterwards, we jammed out and reached multiple peak flow moments with our LED props in their black light party...We loved to be able to add some spark to the environment simply by having fun and doing our thing. Every aspect of this gig was enjoyable, from the audience to the performance area, to the after show jam session, to the friendly help we had from coordinator Jeanette Williams!..One thing was very clear by the end of the night, we want to and will perform at many more colleges!!!

Fun with puppets!

All hail facebook!...art in a local gallery.

...Since he found something so magickal I was now on the quest! A tiny jewelry store caught my attention down a side street, in which we found many interesting items. I ended up with a very beautiful authentic jingle skirt from Afghanistan. I've never heard such a lovely jingle on a skirt, or a more solid construction, love it!..Unfortunately we had to pass on the amazing coined helmet, that store was a treasure chest! The lady helping us there was also a character, who was just filling in for the real character who owns the store... We then ended up at a wonderful gallery just as they brought out the cheese and yummy snacks, we were hungry and free food appeared...must be magick! There was also a bit of wine involved, some amazing artwork, and of course another offbeat shop keeper (gallery tender?)...whom we discovered had likely been drinking that wine all day. All of these people were so interested in us, and they were all a little wacky. Whats that say about us? lol...The rest of the day held more art gazing, more delicious food, a valuable marketing book find, and finally a good solid rest at my Mom's house where we learned that our belief in Mermaids was actually legitimate (documentary lounge session). Luckily our truck held out for us just well enough to get us to every destined destination we encountered that weekend and delivered us to the home land perfectly. Cant wait for our next adventure...!

This moon cycle, especially around the time when it reached its fullest, many a magickal events occurred and opportunities arose! It began with a breakthrough gig at Club Lava within Turning Stone Casino. Its an incredibly colorful place with decorated dancers, and glowing alien creatures.....and being the main attraction with multiple fire and LED shows on stage with our brand new LED fans and flow wand felt phenomenal!...Riding high through the week on the positive energies of that luxury experience...

...we found ourselves touching down again upon the lands of CoSm, Artist Alex Grey's home. Just so happens we were able to provide a fire dancing act at their full blue moon event! We mingled with fire folk and other interesting beings and creatures all night long, awaking in a gorgeous mansion for a walk down the path full of installation art and an event about creative visions called "Art Church". This place was bursting with inspirational energies and we cant wait to return to these sacred grounds! To top it all off we just initiated the order for our custom dream costumes! Its been a magickal week to say the least, we look forward to many more along this journey...
and with that we wish you a magickal day!
