Nature & Nature Magic (Thursday Afternoon, 06/29/2006)

Today's class was meeting in the Preserve, which had been in a reminder e-mail Jenny had *handwavily* sent out.

A number of small tents are set up, and in front of them are are bundles of sage and some handouts.

"As far as I know, we don't have a sauna, so you get tents instead. Please don't light any fires inside the tent, but if you want to set up a campfire outside your tent, feel free. Check out your handouts on totem animals, and let's see if you can meditate and find yours. Or maybe you'll get another vision. Who knows? You can either go it alone or meditate with someone else."

OOC: Lakota Vision Quest Info
Totem Animals
Wiki Totem Info

Mod your own vision/totem animal. Have fun interacting! I, otoh, am about to go to lunch and will be able to do interacty things after that.



Course syllabus and roster. for this workshop.

Wait for the OCD! Class is ready to go.

Willow held out her hand, still feeling a bit sore in the arm but trying to hold steady. "Okay. Ready when you are."

Taking Willow's hand in his, Xander closes his eyes and tries to picture Briarwood's forest in his mind.

For her part, Willow thinks about the woods around Sunnydale. She imagines herself walking along a stream, feeling confident that she won't get lost because she can always follow the stream back.

Xander is walking along the familiar path to Rootcore, though he doesn't remember it being alongside a stream before. How odd.

There's a bit of movement, and Willow spots something in the distance. It's a deer. Willow and the animal stare at each other for a moment, and Willow wonders why a shiver of fear goes through her.

Xander just watches quietly as Willow catches sight of the deer, not wanting to scare it off or anything, and wonders when he'll see his own spirit animal.

Willow feels both drawn to the deer and like she should run away from it. Torn, she stays where she is and looks unhappy.

"You okay?" Xander asks, for the second time that day.

Willow blinks in surprise. "Xander! Um. I don't know?"

The deer bolts when Willow's not looking at it.

[ooc: will be leaving for class soon, if I vanish I'll be back in a few hours]

"Should we keep going?" he asks quietly.

[ooc: s'all good, i have work in a bit anyway, so ditto :)]

Willow shivers and wraps her arms - which don't feel sore here - around herself. "If you want. Guess I found mine."

"If you're not comfortable, maybe we should go ba-" Xander trails off as a bull trots right up to them. A *green* bull, to be exact. Xander is... not actually surprised. It makes a certain amount of sense, after all.

Willow stares. Then she leans over to whisper. "Is that bull green?"

Xander nods. "I'm pretty sure it has to do with my magic," he explains. Which is true- he's just not mentioning the Ranger part.

"So I'm not going color blind?" Willow asked.

"Nah," Xander says, waving a hand. "Green's sort of a theme with me. Nature, and all that."

"Makes sense," Willow said. She waved to the bull. Politeness, and all that.
