Intro to Magic, 5th Period (Week 2: 9/13/06)

[romanywitch]

Jenny has coffee for anyone that wants it, and a steaming mug of it seems to be perpetually attached to her hand. It's a good thing she's got a cover on it, as she's always gesturing as she talks.

"Please sign in. You know the drill, right? Today, we're going to be talking about how to raise magical energy. Some good ways? Music and dance. I've got a bunch of different instruments out. Or you could sing. Chant if you can't hold a tune to save your life. There's also meditation, but that's a lot less-- What's the word I'm thinking of? Oh, yeah. Fun.

I've got a few handouts, like this one on what magical energy is.

I know, I know, it's Llewyellyn. But it works for this class. Also, got some handouts on drumming for you, because if you've never been in a drum circle? Well, let's just say it's an experience.

So. Play music. Sing, chant, dance. Raise energy a different way. Sakura, does playing cards work for you? Or if you're not the performing type, talk about the handouts and ask any questions you've got. Works?"

Free (and legal!) music available for you to get some drumming sounds going on your own -
Daveed Korup
Turbo Tabla (Warning: Site plays music. But not tinny-sounding music, at least.)

Course Syllabus & Roster

OOC: Mod your own instrument, if you want one. Suggestions are drums, tambourines, triangles, finger cymbals, ocarinas, recorders--anything easy to play. Also, I do not have gmail access during the day, so it's best to ping me in the OOC thread for this course if you need anything. If you need something private, head over to Jenny's voice mail, as all comments there are screened.

Wait for the OCD threads, please. Everything's good to go now.

Jude approached, now very crumpled pass in his hand and sheepish 'talking to teachers' face on. "Um, Ms Calendar?"

"Oh, hey, Jude," said Jenny. "How's it going?"

Jude smiled. "Um, good. I just wanted to apologise for missing class last week, I was in Toronto." Belatedly he held up the pass. "I have a note?"

"Ooh, a note?" Jenny grinned and held her hand out. "You rock as a student. Gimme."

Jude chuckled and handed over the note. "Yeah, I got a note."

"I'm used to lame excuses without backup paperwork," said Jenny. "I should give exra credit. I won't, but I should." She studied the note. "So, much with the coolness. You missed out on intros, but nothing else, really."

"Cool." Jude smiled a littler nervously, scratching the back of his head. "Uh, as someone who knows, like, nothing about magic - did I miss anything else?"
